Researcher: *spends entire life studying [the thing you wondered about], has lifetime’s work stolen without any credit or payment.*

AI: I’m the greatest!

    It’s directly on point to the article.

    What, you need it to say “journalist” instead of “researcher”?

    What the actual fuck are you talking about

    Sulzberger’s core argument when addressing the annual WAN-IFRA World News Media Conference on June 1 was that Big Tech is stealing the news media’s property and undermining democracy, and that the only solution is for news organizations to work together to resist it. 

    Big Tech’s “hijacking of the public square is made possible by the original sin that animates their AI products—a brazen theft of intellectual property that has occurred at an unprecedented scale,” Sulzberger argued. “Tech giants strip-mine news websites without permission or compensation. They repackage these stolen goods as their own, siphoning off the audiences and revenue that otherwise would go to the news organizations that created this work.”
