OpenAI, Running Out of Places to Borrow Money From (Deep in Debt, Losing About a Million Dollars Per Day), is Sued Again for Plagiarism (LLMs Are Just 'Efficient', Disguised Plagiarism)
Maybe if it files for bankruptcy next year Microsoft can sideswipe these lawsuits
Latest from the news (notice Microsoft is sued also!):

New York Times Sues Microsoft and OpenAI for Copyright Infringement [Ed: With all those lawsuits, might Open HEY HI just file for bankruptcy and claim it cannot pay? Too broke?]
The New York Times Co. sued Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI Inc. for using its content to help develop artificial intelligence services, in a sign of the increasingly fraught relationship between the media and a technology that could upend the news industry.

NY Times copyright suit wants OpenAI to delete all GPT instances [Ed: Microsoft hiding behind proxies, as usual]
In August, word leaked out that The New York Times was considering joining the growing legion of creators that are suing AI companies for misappropriating their content. The Times had reportedly been negotiating with OpenAI regarding the potential to license its material, but those talks had not gone smoothly. So, eight months after the company was reportedly considering suing, the suit has now been filed.
The Times is targeting various companies under the OpenAI umbrella, as well as Microsoft, an OpenAI partner that both uses it to power its Copilot service and helped provide the infrastructure for training the GPT Large Language Model. But the suit goes well beyond the use of copyrighted material in training, alleging that OpenAI-powered software will happily circumvent the Times' paywall and ascribe hallucinated misinformation to the Times.

The New York Times sues ChatGPT creator OpenAI, Microsoft, for copyright infringement : NPR [Ed: Note this publisher takes bribes from both Microsoft and Bill Gates (for bias), just like OSI, which took the role of Microsoft advocate, calling plagiarism "HEY HI". It was utterly foolish of Simon Phipps to take bribes from Microsoft (at OSI) and now we see how things pan out.]
The Times is the first major news publisher to take OpenAI to court over the use of its copyright material in its popular chatbot. The suit follows months of tense negotiations between the two sides.
You can guess whose side the Microsoft militants have taken.
