Very Nice! The Times Sells Its Soul... I Mean Content!
Jagshemash everybody! Borat Sagdiyev here reporting live from... well not from Kazakhstan for now! I bring you news of deal so big it make my mustache quiver like jellyfish! The New York Times very important newspaper from America has make agreement with Amazon the land of Bezos for use of their content in AI machines! Is like Pamela Anderson marrying me except more confusing!
Alexa Show Me the Money! (And Maybe Some Nude Taymurs)
According to the Times this deal means Amazon can use their articles even NYT Cooking (very important for learning how to make horse!) and The Athletic (for understanding why Americans scream at sport ball). This includes 'real time display of summaries' on Amazon products like Alexa! Imagine you ask Alexa for news and she replies with wisdom of The Times! I hope she also teach me how to say 'I like you' in American without getting slapped.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Legal Jousting is no laughing matter
But wait! The Times they were previously suing Microsoft and OpenAI for stealing their content! They say 'You cannot just take our intellectual property and use it to train your robot brains!' But now they sell it to Amazon? Is like saying 'You cannot steal my car but I will give it to stranger for few shekels!' Very confusing even for Borat.
Other Newspapers Join the Fight! Wawaweewa!
The New York Daily News and The Center for Investigative Reporting also suing Microsoft and OpenAI is like village mob going after chicken thief! But the Times they say 'We make peace and money with Amazon instead!' Is like they realize fighting robots is hard work better to join them and sell the secrets of journalism... and maybe get discount on Amazon Prime.
Amazon's AI Bonanza! Is Big Like My Country's Tractor!
Amazon is building all sorts of AI things! Alexa+ with robot brain Nova models (not the car I think!) and Bedrock marketplace. They want to be like OpenAI and Google but maybe with more customer reviews. Is like they are trying to build the future but with same day delivery and maybe some used underpants.
Is This Victory? I Dubious!
So is this good deal for The New York Times? Maybe. They get money. But they also give power to Amazon's robot army. Is like teaching bear to dance... entertaining but also very dangerous. Only time will tell if this deal make everyone 'very nice' or lead to AI uprising! Chenqui!
