I hope this results in Fair Use being expanded to cover AI training. This is way more important to humanity's future than any single media outlet. If the NYT goes under, a dozen similar outlets can replace them overnight. If we lose AI to stupid IP battles in its infancy, we end up handicapping probably the single most important development in human history just to protect some ancient newspaper. Then another country is going to do it anyway, and still the NYT is going to get eaten.

Why using authored NYT articles is “stupid IP battles” and having to pay for the trained model with them is not stupid?

If the NYT wanted to charge OpenAI $20/mo to access their articles like any other user, that's fine with me. But they're not asking for that, they're suing them to stop it instead. That's why it's a stupid IP battle.
