https://www.axios.com/2023/08/08/openai-journalism-ethics-nyu this is an embarrassingly small amount of money relative to OpenAI's resources and the asset that they're allegedly trying to support
@aparrish one friend pointed out it's less than four year tuition for two undergrads!

@ingrid In their eyes it must seem like a perfect cosmic balance. The figures in that fund seem consistent with how much OpenAI values and respects quality journalism that holds power to account... that is, not very much.
@ingrid that amount is so small it almost feels like they're disdainfully spitting in our collective faces tbh
