My original, editorialized title: Ars Technica Sells Out

Linking to this because I know people here read Ars Technica, and I totally didn't become a subscriber three days before this was announced. Nope. No sir.

It's funny because you're making the opposite point of the one you think you're making. Cause if you put together the two pieces of information from your comment, the entire picture is:

Open ai makes a deal to pay media org for there content and makes it so they can link back to original article, with the money they make from stealing everybody else's content

That's already pretty bad, even without that points you neglected to mention, like how some of the content that is indirectly making money for Ars Technica is stolen from their competitors, or how Ars Technica basically became a worthless journalistic source for AI at a time where public opinion is not yet settled on its morality and precedent has not been set on its legality. How is this not "sold out" to you?
