    Let the cross-subsidies begin!  First Axel Springer + OpenAI, now Apple and...?  What's @artifact_news to do?? #notifs

    > The news organizations contacted by Apple include Condé Nast, publisher of Vogue and The New Yorker; NBC News; and IAC, which owns People, The Daily Beast and Better Homes and Gardens.  This is why I'm confident in Apple's generative AI.  The sources are good, they're paying fo…

    Well, as owners of a golden dataset, it makes a lot of sense from their perspective.  I just wonder how this will shape the internet a few years from now on.  Perhaps to the positive.  As Google search is basically useless for finding a lot of good content from non-searchable soc…

    The news biz is tough, but I think we probably have greater access to free, quality news than anytime in human history despite the annoying paywalls.

    Apple has officially joined the generative AI race.  It's in the process of signing deals with NBC News, Conde Nast, IAC and others to license their content to train its generative AIs.  The golden age of the paywall is now upon us.  News sites can now double dip by both charging…

    I've been wondering what Apple's game plan is for AI.  It's a huge problem that LLMs are trained on hate speech and GANs are trained on CSAM.  That's incompatible with how Apple does business.  If this news points to how Apple intends to source their corpus for model-training, th…

    wonder if publishers participating in Apple News+ are freaked out by this https://www.nytimes.com/... [image]

    NEWS: Apple is in discussions with major news and publishing organizations about licensing their content to train generative A.I. Terms are serious: At least $50 million over several years. So far, publishers are lukewarm. w/@trippmickle https://www.nytimes.com/...

    Apple has all the money in the world to pay for the best data.
  • @davidclinchnews David Clinch on x
    #MediaRevenue This is nowhere near enough money for any kind of exclusivity or even first to market advantage that Apple might want.

    Interesting and timely reporting by @BenMullin on Apple now talking to publishers, too, around using their data for training purposes (and the risks associated with any such deal) [image]

    The new way content gets paid for just dropped: it's all an AI training set. The Google ‘we send you traffic in exchange for running ads against your search results’ deal, which paid for the Web for 20 years, is coming to an end. Or changing quickly. https://www.nytimes.com/... […
