This is so sad that I don’t know how to express it. But it was expected, as the profit mode is on. No wonder why people keep leaving the company.
Microsoft sucks the joy from everything. They do (some) boring business and software stuff well, but totally fumble everything else.
OpenAI are hooked to the Microsoft train.

This has nothing to do with Microsoft. OpenAI is doing this themselves.
They are supposed to be a non-profit charity, but they let the dollar signs win over.
For me it’s not about it being News Corp thats the biggest problem here.
It’s that OpenAI simply, openly promotes one corporation / sources of content over others in their results / training. Maybe they gave them most likely a pile of money to make that happen. Or that they didn’t do it for any other bias than they liked their content. I don’t know.
Regardless, the fact a company with such power over text actively says they’ll promote certain content over others means that whatever trust can be placed in these LLMs now needs to be “officially” measured against sponsored results.
