NYT slams Microsoft for building copyright-infringing supercomputer for OpenAI

The New York Times has amended its copyright infringement lawsuit to specifically target Microsoft for providing OpenAI with a supercomputer platform designed to train models on copyrighted works without authorization. The lawsuit alleges OpenAI copied millions of Times articles to train GPT models, which were stored and processed on Microsoft's supercomputing platform, with Microsoft controlling and profiting from the infringement. The Times seeks destruction of all infringing AI models based on its articles along with copyright infringement damages.
