I thought the same thing until I read another perspective into it from Mike Masnick and, from what he writes, it seems pretty clear they manipulated ChatGPT with some very specific prompts that someone who doesn't already pay NYT for access would not be able to do. For example, feeding it 3 verbatim paragraphs from an article and asking it to generate the rest if you understand how these LLMs work, its really not surprising that you can indeed force it to do things like that but it's an extreme and I'm qith Masnick and the user your responding to on this one myself.

I also watched most of today's subcommittee hearing on AI and journalism. A lot of the arguments are that this will destroy local journalism. Look, strong local journalism is some of the most important work that is dying right now. But the grave was dug by these large media companies and hedge funds that bought up and gutted those local news orgs and not many people outside of the industry batted an eye while that was happening. This is a bit of a tangent but I don't exactly trust the giant headgefunds who gutted these local news journalists ocer the padt deacde to all of a sudden care at all about how important they are.

Sorry fir the tangent butbheres the article i mentioned thats more on topic - http://mediagazer.com/231228/p11#a231228p11

Can COP help save the planet?

I tried answering that question last year. Although I decided the answer was no, it can’t save the planet — nor can any single climate conference, for that matter — climate summits are important, because they push the needle forward ...

They said in the comment that they are tech savvy enough to understand what RCS is and does.

I think they're referring to the #ecowarrior hashtag. I'm sure the original was supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig at the #fuckcars crowd but it's definitely wrong that a local helicopter ride is better for greenhouse gas emissions than one car in normal traffic

Huh. Thank you. It's not showing that for me using the Voyager app on Android. Thought I was losing my marbles
