>By the same token, why isn't NYT proposing something like that rather than the world's largest random sampling?
It's OpenAI's data, there is a protective order in the case and OpenAI already agreed to anonymize it all.
>Part of OpenAI holding up their side of the bargain on user data, to the extent they do, is that they don't roll over like a beaten dog to accommodate unconditional discovery requests.
lol... what?
Discovery isn't binary yes/no, it involves competing proposals regarding methods and scope for satisfying information requests. Sometimes requests are egregious or excessive, sometimes they are reasonable and subject to excessively zealous pushback.
Maybe you didn't read TFA but part of the case history was NYT requesting 1.4 billion records as part of discovery and being successfully challenged by OpenAI as unnecessary, and the essence of TFA is advocating for an alternative to the scope of discovery NYT is insisting on, hence the "not rolling over".
Try reading, it's fun!

There is a court order that OpenAI must produce these documents. OpenAI litigated this issue and lost. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. The court decided the documents were relevant and they must produce a subset of them. Rather than immediately complying, they went and posted this BS "article".

I don't think you read TFA.

Lol, rudeness aside, you are apparently poorly informed. No doubt it is because you are relying on OpenAI's telling of the events and not actual reporting on the events. Btw, yesterday they were ordered to produce 20m redacted logs. You keep going on about the original discovery request, but that's not what the issue is and it's not the issue OpenAI lost on that they are now crying to the public about.
Also btw, I saw you posting in other comments that OpenAI needs to figure out how to anonymize the data. You probably don't realize this, but OpenAI already represented to the court that the data was anonymized and now are just using this as another delay tactic. Something about "reading being fun". I'd agree. Still, it does depend what you read. Try reading some more!
Meanwhile back in reality, as of today that order is being challenged, and challenging the scope of an interlocutory order in discovery is a normal thing and part of a coherent legal position. So I don't know why you're pretending you don't understand what it means not to "roll over like a beaten dog" in response to overzealous discovery.
>I don't think you read TFA.
It was in TFA. If you don't like their number which characterizes OpenAI's interpretation of what an earlier proposal required, the 20 million proposal was selected over the NYT's 120 million records proposal, which demonstrates the same point about fighting to narrow scope. So I still don't understand why you think the concept of challenging the scope discovery is somehow too mysterious to comprehend.
>You keep going on about the original discovery request, but that's not what the issue is and it's not the issue OpenAI lost on that they are now crying to the public about.
Yeah, because I was replying to a comment about that issue and I'm remaining on topic.
>Also btw, I saw you posting in other comments that OpenAI needs to figure out how to anonymize the data.
You're actually right! My mistake. I guess this makes it make sense to pretend you can't understand why a company would ever push back against the scope of discovery.
