As a journalist, I defend the habit of sharing archive links. Paywalls are a lazy and detrimental solution to a larger financial problem for media organizations. They limit the access to information to a specific subset of people, and let misinformation run wild and free. So yes, sharing the article is important in this case.

> If there was, say, a 300$ per year global subscription to a 100 of publications, I'm also sure 90% of hacker news would buy it. No one is going to pay $300/yr to read news articles online. But even people do that, by your logic it's just limiting the access to information to a specific group of those who are able and willing to pay $300/yr to read news.

I assure you that many people spend $300 annually on news and journalism.

Not sure how I feel about this. I think just telling the gist of the article is fine, it’s like me talking to a friend, but sharing the article word to word seems like stealing.

Should he have rephrased the info instead?

Yeah, run it through ChatGPT to summarize it and get some truly original content

I always thought some of the people posting the archive links were shills for the people running that site (it’s monetized with ads) — brilliant strategy.

I'd be disappointed to learn that anyone who's been longer on HN than about five minutes wasn't using an adblocker.

That said, this is a valuable service. If I were ever willing to consider turning off an adblocker anywhere, this would be where I'd start.

Before they switched to pro-evil, Google used to ban you from their index if you did that (show them one thing, and human visitors something else).

Which itself had funny consequences. Expert Sexchange used to show you a page with a payment dialog up top but you could just scroll down to the content.

I want to believe this is an intentional misspelling.

Well there is more content than eyeballs at this point, an exponentially rising gap between the two you could say. So according to economic theory when production outpaces consumption what happens to the value and price of whats produced?

Andrej Karpathy, one of the founding members of OpenAI, has left the company, a spokesperson confirmed. Karpathy, a prominent artificial intelligence researcher, was developing a product he has described as an AI assistant and worked closely with the company’s research chief, Bob McGrew. While ChatGPT has been a hit with consumers, OpenAI wants to launch software that can automate complex computer-based tasks, like f…

Bob McGrew from Palantir is OpenAI's research chief? That's one hell of a move up for him!

We can't have a discussion on a link behind a paywall. That's what the comments section inside your paywall is for.

If a link is posted here and requires a subscription, how does that further the conversation you are intending by posting the link?

I want real humans paid for their efforts! If that is the primary concern then we shouldn't be posting non-public links into a public forum for discussion?

Karpathy just tweeted about it [0]:

> Hi everyone yes, I left OpenAI yesterday. First of all nothing "happened" and it’s not a result of any particular event, issue or drama (but please keep the conspiracy theories coming as they are highly entertaining :)). Actually, being at OpenAI over the last ~year has been really great - the team is really strong, the people are wonderful, and the roadmap is very exciting, and I think we all have a lot to look forward to. My immediate plan is to work on my personal projects and see what happens. Those of you who’ve followed me for a while may have a sense for what that might look like ;) Cheers

This kind of already exists with Apple News+. Not sure how well that is going but if anyone has the reach to make this work it would be Apple.

Personally I am for anything that can decouple advertising from reporting. There are just too many perverse incentives that it creates.
