Newly disclosed material from the NYT v. OpenAI case shows OpenAI president Greg Brockman replying "ah nice" to a described "hack to get around nytimes paywall" while scraping The Times' site. Media industry figure Jason Kint called it blood-boiling and a bad look for OpenAI. Kyliebytes quips that OpenAI could have simply paid the subscription fee if it planned to scrape everything anyway.
