Court unseals NYT v. OpenAI motions; internal docs cite 'largest theft of labor'
MarietjeSchaake · x · 2026-09-19
Summary judgment motions in New York Times v. OpenAI/Microsoft have been unsealed. Commentator Jason Kint notes the heavy redactions now make sense: OpenAI's own internal documents wrote NYT's lede for it — calling the training "the largest theft of labor in human history" and outputs "more and more substitutive." These self-admissions from inside the AI companies could prove pivotal to the case.
