New York Court Rejects Authors’ Bid to Halt OpenAI Cases from the New York Times, Others

U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein said that the writers, including Michael Chabon, Ta-Nehisi Coates and comedian Sarah Silverman, did not have a strong enough interest in the New York cases to justify letting them intervene.

The writers had sought to convince the New York court to dismiss the cases against OpenAI and Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest financial backer, or move them to California. The California court rejected a related request last month.
