    [05:11] schestowitz[TR2]

    A recent review by Marques Brownlee, a.k.a. MKBHD, went viral recently for highlighting this exact dichotomy. Brownlee wanted to check out the Fisker Ocean for his car channel, Auto Focus, but Fisker was being cagey about sending him a vehicle to test. So he went to a local dealership and borrowed one of theirs. And the company freaked, trying to get him to wait until the newest version of [05:11] schestowitz[TR2] the firmware was ready before he went to review it. Brownlee, as is his right, refusedbecause that would effectively mean giving special treatment to the company. (The Verge recently played this very same card with its highly middling Framework 16 review.)

    The Times sued Microsoft and its partner OpenAI on Dec. 27, accusing the two companies of infringing on its copyrights by using its articles to train A.I. technologies like the online chatbot ChatGPT. Chatbots compete with the news outlet as a source of reliable information, the lawsuit said.

    In its motion, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Microsoft argued that large language models, or L.L.M.s the technologies that drive chatbots did not supplant the market for news articles and other materials they were trained on.
