NYT and other Billion dollar media house can sue the AI companies for copyright violations and get into cozy deals. But the individuals and small companies are left in lurch.

Something like Ad words, where people whose content is used by LLMs can register as a publisher and get compensated.

Oh it wouldn't be sustainable AI companies? Whose fault is that?
