Hard to take this statement seriously when they are the owners of tabloids like The Sun and New York Post
Murdoch is a propagandistic blight and what Walter Lippmann warned us about over a century ago
I'm not opposed to AI, but it all feels so ham fisted and reckless as everyone tries to be the first to some imaginary finish line.
That's a hoot. Total breach in trust to integrate AI with xenophobia news outlets.
All these deals they’re making will force other brands/orgs to follow, I am just wondering - once they get a taste of that free money, are they going to continue to follow those “highest journalistic standards” and talk about OpenAI in the context of copyright for everyone else.
Or even say a bad word of them altogether.
However, this move flips the question: instead of asking how much they can make, they must consider what happens if their competitors partner with OpenAI. The concern then shifts to what competitors can achieve in the market that could threaten not just their economic interests but potentially their entire business model and worldview.
Suddenly, the desire to be the one partnering with OpenAI isn't just about accessing a lucrative revenue stream; it becomes a strategic imperative to mitigate risks and maintain competitive parity.

Is there some mode or tool where ChatGPT includes links to or content from these licensed news stories? Or is this just OpenAI making a payoff to protect itself in cases of unforeseen memorization of training data, like what set off the NYT lawsuit?
ChatGPT says climate change effects overstated.
Newspeak with Newscorp
"If so, that'd be kinda great" Yeah, if it were real, it would be nice. But it's a fantasy of AI, not what actually exists.
Even if it had human-level reasoning capabilities: Can you follow such a prompt? Neural network weights aren't a database.
Same main owner.
WSJ, Barron's, MarketWatch, IBD, FN are all owned by News Corp via Dow Jones.
For me it’s not about it being News Corp thats the biggest problem here.
It’s that OpenAI simply, openly promotes one corporation / sources of content over others in their results / training. Maybe they gave them most likely a pile of money to make that happen. Or that they didn’t do it for any other bias than they liked their content. I don’t know.
Regardless, the fact a company with such power over text actively says they’ll promote certain content over others means that whatever trust can be placed in these LLMs now needs to be “officially” measured against sponsored results.
OpenAI are hooked to the Microsoft train.
They are supposed to be a non-profit charity, but they let the dollar signs win over.
I can feel the beginnings of it already, chatGPT is going to turn out to to be the biggest Karen of them all.

Great choice of partner there, OpenAI.
Over time, it will feed us information that's curated and considering 90% of people can barely think for themselves, they will start parroting braindead talking points.
These publications aren't exactly known for their level-headed, unbiased journalism. What a shame that we're poisoning the well and allowing old media to maintain a stranglehold on crafting their own narrative.
It’s naive to take the charter of openai at face value. It’s hilarious to see applications of non-profit tax filings as I’ve grown up. There is tremendous wealth and commerce flowing through the US tax free. Religions, universities, “good” tech companies. To whose benefit? Humanity’s? Lol
I bet the nonprofit with a small for profit arm that the tech is licensed from is the next best thing since the defeated incorporating in Ireland for tax avoidance.
