Again, as I pointed out to you numerous times in this thread. OpenAI already represented to the court that the data was anonymized and that they can anonymize it, so you are significantly departing from the actual facts in your discussion here. There are no genuine privacy issues left here. The data is anonymous and it is under a protective order so it must be maintained confidentially.
The trouble with this logic is NYT already made that argument and lost as applied to an original discovery scope of 1.4 billion records. The question now is about a lower scope and about the means of review, and proposed processes for anonymization.
They have a right to some form of discovery, but not to a blank check extrapolation that sidesteps legitimate privacy issues raised both in OpenAIs statement as well as throughout this thread.
