I came into it with this expectation that it was going to be a simple, easy, plug-and-play, get-it-tested-and-done article.

It’s that time again! In a debut that likely surprised nobody, Grand Theft Auto V has blasted to the top of the PlayStation Store charts for November.

Just a couple weeks after being sued by the New York Times over allegations that it copied and used “millions” of copyrighted news articles to train its large-language models, OpenAI has told the UK’s House of Lords communications and digital select committee (via The Guardian) that it has to use copyrighted materials to build its…
