Sam comes out in the New York Times

From the moment when Sam -German, CEO of Openai on stage, was clearly not a regular interview.

Altman and the chief operational employee, Brad Lacap, stood embarrassing towards the back of the theater in a packed place in San Francisco, which usually hosts jazz concerts. Hundreds of people filled the seats in the style of intense theater on Tuesday night to watch Kevin Rose, a column writer for the New York Times, and the Casey Newton platform recorded a live episode of their famous technological pod. Hard FORK.

Altman and Lightcap were the main event, but they came out early. Rose explained that Niger is planning – perfectly, before Openai’s executive officials came out – many of the main headlines that were written about Openai in the weeks before the event.

“This is more enjoyable that we are here for this,” Altman said. After seconds, Openai CEO asked: “Will you talk about the place you are sued because you do not like the user’s privacy?”

Within minutes of starting the program, Altman kidnapped the conversation to talk about a lawsuit against New York Times against Openai and its largest investor, Microsoft, where the publisher claims that Altman’s Company Her articles were used incorrectly to train large language models. Altamman was especially wrote a modern development in the lawsuit, as lawyers represent the New York Times Ask from Openai to keep the consumer customer data and API.

“The New York Times is one of the great institutions, for a long time, takes a position that we must keep our user records even if they are talking about the special situation, even if they ask us to delete it.” “I still love the New York Times, but that we feel strong.”

For a few minutes, Openai CEO of Openai pressed Podcaster to exchange their personal opinions about the New York Times suit – they have been neglected, noting that as journalists appear in the New York Times, they do not participate in the lawsuit.

The altman and LightCap entrance lasted only for only a few minutes, and the rest of the interview continued, apparently, as planned. However, Flare-UP seems to have felt an indication of the Silicon Point Valley, which is close to its relationship to the media industry.

In the past few years, many publishers filed lawsuits against Openai, Anthropic, Google and Meta to train artificial intelligence models on copyright -protected work. At a high level, these lawsuits argue that artificial intelligence models have the ability to reduce value, and even replace them, producing copyrights produced by media institutions.

But the tide may turn into the benefit of technology companies. Earlier this week, Openai competitor Antarob got a great victory in its legal battle against publishers. A federal judge spent that the use of books for anthropology to train artificial intelligence models was legal in some circumstances, which could have extensive effects on other publishers’ claims against Openai, Google and Meta.

Perhaps Altman and Lightcap felt courageous by the industry’s victory, heading to direct their direct interview with New York Times. But these days, Openai enhances threats from every direction, and it is clear all night.

Mark Zuckerberg recently tries Use the best Openai talents by providing compensation packages of $ 100 million to them To join Meta’s Ai Superntelligence LAB, Altman revealed weeks ago on his brother’s podcast.

When asked if Meta CEO really really believes in excellent artificial intelligence systems, or whether it is just a recruitment strategy, Lightcap has mocked: “I think (Zuckerberg) is experts.”

Later, Rose Altman asked about Openai’s relationship with Microsoft, which was pushed to a Boiling point in recent months, where partners negotiate a new contract. While Microsoft was once a major speed for Openai, the two are now competing in the programs of institutions and other fields.

“In any deep partnership, there are points of tension and we have definitely,” Altman said. “We are ambitious companies, so we find some flash points, but I expect to find a deep value on both sides for a very long time to come.”

It seems that the leadership of Openai today spends a lot of time to get rid of competitors and lawsuits. This may hinder Openai’s ability to solve the broader problems about artificial intelligence, such as how to spread artificial intelligence systems safely safely.

At some point, Newton asked Openai’s leaders how they were thinking about the last stories about Mentally unstable people use Chatgpt to pass the dangerous rabbit holesIncluding discussing conspiracy theories or suicide with Chatbot.

Altman said that Openai takes many steps to prevent these conversations, such as cutting them early, or directing users to professional services where they can get help.

The Germans said: “We do not want to slip into the mistakes that I think the previous generation of technology companies committed was not responding quickly enough,” said Germans. To a follow -up question, Openai CEO added, “However, to users who are in a sufficiently fragile mental place, on the edge of mental break, we have not yet reached how the warning occurred.”
