Today we have some big news in AI, and that is the fact that five major U.S. newspapers are currently suing OpenAI for copyright infringement, and they're also suing Microsoft.

I think, you know, you don't want to just sue the new startup. You want to sue the guy that's actually giving them all the money, which of course is Microsoft.

So this is kind of an interesting deal and lawsuit. I want to break it down. We've

seen similar lawsuits in the past, but all of this is coming on the backs of Open AI making a bunch

of new deals with news corporations. We have a deal with Axel Springer. They just last week signed

a deal with the Financial Times. And of course, we've had them have this whole lawsuit and a deal

conclusion with the New York Times as well in the past. So in my opinion, what's really going on right here is probably that Open AI is doing deals with a lot of news publishing companies. They're paying them out essentially for their content or for whatever. And that's cool but i think because of that then of course

we have a bunch of other companies that are like hey look we want a little piece of the action right

they don't want just the new york times get paid out from the lawsuits they all want to jump on

and you pretty much see this where if there's like a piggy bank everyone wants to smash it uh the more

money that open a i gives out to other corporations, new ones are going to jump on.

And I think because Open AI essentially trained from the entire internet, like, yeah, you can

make a case for every single news company that they were included in the training set.

And something important, I want to say, is in these lawsuits, and we'll break down more of the specifics.

But like to essentially conclude that, look, Open AI trained off of like, let's say the New York

Times, it doesn't even mean like if Open AI blacklisted the New York Times as URL, which I don't

actually think they did because I think they wanted all that data.

But let's say they did because they didn't want to get in some sort of lawsuit with them. That doesn't mean that they would be completely exempt from having

trained off the New York Times data because it's super easy for anyone on the internet to copy and paste

the article and repost it on their own website. Now that's, you know, step one and maybe the New York

Times could get mad at that website or whatever, especially if it's supposed to be behind their paywall or whatever. It gets a little bit trickier, though, when

something that's like fairly fair use is that you go to any article on the internet and you copy
