OpenAI recently welcomed Future — which includes Tom’s Guide, TechRadar, Marie Claire, and PC Gamer — into the fold, making them the latest news organizations to license their journalism to train the ChatGPT maker’s AI. That seems to be the path of least resistance, seeing as it’s likely that OpenAI has already used that data to train its models. The company hasn’t always been the best citizen.

The harder path? Suing the company for copyright infringement, as the New York Times and some others have done.

Here’s are running list of which news orgs partnering with and who’s suing OpenAI.

Partnering with OpenAI:

  • Atlantic

  • Associated Press

  • Axel Springer (Politico, Business Insider)

  • Condé Nast (Bon Appétit, GQ, New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Wired)

  • Dotdash Meredith (People Magazine)

  • Financial Times

  • Future (Tom’s Guide, TechRadar, Marie Claire, PC Gamer)

  • GEDI (La Repubblica and La Stampa)

  • Hearst (Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Runner’s World, Women’s Health)

  • Lenfest Institute AI Collaborative and Fellowship program (Chicago Public Media, The Minnesota Star Tribune, Newsday, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Seattle Times)

  • Le Monde

  • Prisa Media

  • News Corp (Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch)

  • Time

  • Vox Media

Suing OpenAI:

  • Alden Global Capital (New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Sun Sentinel of Florida, San Jose Mercury News, Denver Post, Orange County Register, and St. Paul Pioneer Press)

  • Asian News International

  • Canadian news publishers (The Canadian Press, Torstar, Globe and Mail, Postmedia, and CBC/Radio-Canada)

  • Center for Investigative Reporting (Mother Jones, Reveal)

  • Intercept

  • New York Times

  • Raw Story (Alternet)

Likely not inking a deal but no lawsuit:

UPDATE (Dec 23, 2024): Added Future, GEDI, Hearst, and Lenfest Institute to list of OpenAI’s partners; added Asian News International and some Canadian news publishers to list of those suing OpenAI

Big four airlines sink as Transportation Secretary Duffy says parts of US airspace could close if shutdown continues

The US may close parts of its airspace as early as next week if the government shutdown continues, according to comments made by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday.

“If you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays. You’ll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace, because we just cannot manage it,” Duffy said at a news briefing on Tuesday.

The shutdown, which entered its 35th day on Tuesday, has fueled already problematic shortages of air traffic controllers. This week, airlines said 3.2 million passengers have faced delays or cancellations because of the shortages. Last week, about 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA agents received their first $0 paycheck amid the shutdown.

Shares of the big four US airlines all sank on Duffy’s comments, with United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines all down more than 5%.

Trump’s deal offering top Nvidia chips to China was nixed at last minute, the WSJ reports

Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, really wants to sell the chipmaker’s most powerful Blackwell GPUs to China. He almost had his way.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, President Trump was ready to put Blackwell chips on the negotiating table for his meeting with Chinese President Xi to seek relief from China’s decision to block crucial rare earth exports to the US.

But according to the report, Trump advisers presented a unified front and were able to dissuade him from giving up the most powerful chips to China at the last minute. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were among those opposed to the chip deal. After the meeting, Trump said he did not talk with Xi about Nvidia’s “super duper” chips.

Reportedly those opposed to the deal cited national security concerns, as well as wanting to keep a competitive edge as China seeks to challenge the US’s current dominance of the AI industry.
