Charlotte Cops’ Racist Texts Show Officers Turned Pulling Over Black Drivers Into a Competition, Now Their Own Messages Could Blow Up Criminal Cases
A newly revealed racist text thread involving Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers is raising alarms about what they may have said and done
![“Our AI content strategy has started a ‘doom loop’ that will hurt the performance of our models and the entire web at the same time: It is highly unusual that an end-product threatens the economic foundations of its essential suppliers, but that is the situation we have created for our LLM business with respect to its ‘content supply chain,’” the document said.
Microsoft executives, including CEO Satya Nadella, testified under oath that after ripping content from the New York Times and other news sites, clicks to those news sites fully cratered, falling by more than 90 percent on Bing.
Documents obtained during the court proceedings found that OpenAI created “a hack to get around nytimes paywall,” to which OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman said “ah, nice.” Microsoft executive Brent Hecht wrote that LLMs steal content “without ways of distributing economic value down the supply chain, [which] necessarily threatens the economic stability of those who create the content.”
OpenAI’s policy director Jack Clark wrote that the company was “creating systems that substitute for the labor of the people that define the ‘culture’ of society” and Microsoft, in a policy document, wrote that generative AI could “significantly disrupt the employment of the very people who generated the data on which the foundation model was trained […] LLMs are a product that destroys its supply chain.” OpenAI called itself an “existential threat” to news publishers, and an OpenAI software engineer testified that “no matter how prominently we show the links, users won’t click.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6lilyhhqc2jhkc64d6bfzoqk/bafkreie63lbquc37acgfwjhekscrrqs7hjgplqgq6eo2lpcd7vl7zt4lcm)
