Condé Nast joins other publishers in allowing OpenAI to access its content.

My original, editorialized title: Ars Technica Sells Out

Linking to this because I know people here read Ars Technica, and I totally didn’t become a subscriber three days before this was announced. Nope. No sir.

    Condé Nast didn’t just sell access to their subsidiaries’ content, but also to the user generated content on those subsidiaries’ sites. That’s at issue here.

    It also has a possibility to cause a conflict of interest for Ars Technica to write about OpenAI. That’s the second issue here.

    And, as per the editor in chief, the money doesn’t go to Ars Technica, but to Condé Nast.

      Yes they sold access to the user content we’ve generated after we explicitly agreed to the fact that they may do so. If you’ve chosen to not read the fine print when you created an account and created content for them, that’s sort of up to you tbh.
