Ed Newton-Rex(@ednewtonrex):This might be the biggest admission in any of the 100+ AI copyright lawsuits. OpenAI & Microsoft execs admit the case is about “the largest theft of labor in human history”, that publishers face an “existential threat” from their products, and that those products “are largely substitutive, period.” They are right, of course. But it is huge that they have admitted it.
