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…

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…

#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/... […
