OpenAI's Oops: Missing Evidence in NYT Lawsuit

In a twist fit for a tech thriller, OpenAI accidentally deleted crucial evidence in The New York Times' lawsuit over AI training data. Filed December 2023, the case alleges OpenAI and Microsoft used millions of articles without nod. After 150+ hours of legal sleuthing, recovery efforts fell short, leaving NYT seeking hefty damages and shaking AI-media ties. As both giants scramble to piece together the data puzzle, the outcome could redefine digital content use—with a dash of chaos thrown in for good measure.
