why it is OK for the Washington Post to copy the NY times, but not ok for OpenAI or Archive.org?

If the Washington Post printed an article from the NY Times nearly verbatim and without attribution, it would not be OK and surely they would take legal action.

Yes, because The NY Times is copyrighting the body of work. They are not copyrighting the "facts" themselves but the distillation of these facts into a body of work. Anyone is free to take the facts and produce their own works but not to lift the body of work verbatim that the NY Times created (plagiarize).
