Seattle Times and Newsday sue OpenAI and Microsoft over AI training on journalism
thione · x · 2026-09-15
The Seattle Times and Newsday are the latest publishers to sue OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging unauthorized use of their journalism for AI training. The suit warns the news industry could be "broken beyond repair," calling generative AI "a snake eating its own tail" that consumes human-authored content and returns derivative copies. It follows the New York Times' 2023 lawsuit trend. The thread also notes OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, a local 2B open model claimed SOTA for its size.
