Joke’s on you NYT.
I don’t read your bootlicking, billionaire-coddling content anyway.
Obligatory fuck brave and fuck NYT
The kind of fight where you just waych, eat popcorn and hope the collateral damage is minimal.
The lawsuit said, “AI companies pay Brave to provide them with real-time online content from the Brave search index,” and use content from the Brave index “to train their own AI models” and “to respond to specific user queries.” The NYT lawsuit points to Brave’s website, which says the Brave Search API is “used by some of the biggest names in AI, including Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, and You.com.”
The browser “blocks advertising that would otherwise appear on The Times’s website, and instead shows its own ads, offering its users a cut of the revenue even as it deprives The Times of digital advertising revenue that helps it fund the expensive effort of producing journalism,” the lawsuit said.
If this is true, this is so scummy. I’m all for paywall blocking for people, but taking away profits from news sites and turning it into profits for your company is a new low.
Brave has been doing scammy shit since the beginning.
effort of producing journalism
I don’t think this has been true of the nyt for some years.
Between a “privacy” browser that steals ads and trains ai on the one hand, and a declining mouthpiece for elites with pretensions of journalism on the other, it’s hard to work out who to oppose more.
You’re not wrong, but it’s not about the NYT, it’s about the scummy principle.
I’ve had pretty good results using unwall.app/
Good site
I prefer the OG.
Only time I used NYT was for the Mini. When they put it behind a paywall I just stopped playing. I now do the Crossherd and Ponder Club mini crosswords instead. (Shout out to !dailygames@lemmy.zip)
I wonder if this goes to court and if the DMCA will be invoked.
NYT should be sued for kowtowing republicans,a nd trump, and paywalling thier articles.
