@stefan @freediverx thanks! I was about to ask whether someone had digested the Responsible Use page and it seems you've just done that
. It's great if they are able to trigger the various tiers based on volume, rather than default it to "identify now", which would in effect be a massive obstacle to #openknowledge
Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

The conference will feature thematic sessions on key issues such as epistemic authority in digital spaces, asymmetries in knowledge production, and the challenges of platform governance. We will critically examine how historical legacies and current technological developments influence contemporary knowledge systems.

»“Wait, not like that”: #Freeaccess and #openaccess in the age of #generativeAI. The real #threat isn’t AI using #openknowledge — it’s #AI #killing the #projects that make knowledge free.«https://www.citationneeded.news/free-and-open-access-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/?eicker.news #tech #media
"Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. While they rely on these repositories for their sustenance, their adversarial and disrespectful relationships with creators reduce the incentives for anyone to make their work publicly available going forward (freely licensed or otherwise). They drain resources from maintainers of those common repositories often without any compensation. They reduce the visibility of the original sources, leaving people unaware that they can or should contribute towards maintaining such valuable projects. AI companies should want a thriving open access ecosystem, ensuring that the models they trained on Wikipedia in 2020 can be continually expanded and updated. Even if AI companies don’t care about the benefit to the common good, it shouldn’t be hard for them to understand that by bleeding these projects dry, they are destroying their own food supply.
And yet many AI companies seem to give very little thought to this, seemingly looking only at the months in front of them rather than operating on years-long timescales. (Though perhaps anyone who has observed AI companies’ activities more generally will be unsurprised to see that they do not act as though they believe their businesses will be sustainable on the order of years.)
It would be very wise for these companies to immediately begin prioritizing the ongoing health of the commons, so that they do not wind up strangling their golden goose. It would also be very wise for the rest of us to not rely on AI companies to suddenly, miraculously come to their senses or develop a conscience en masse.
Instead, we must ensure that mechanisms are in place to force AI companies to engage with these repositories on their creators' terms."

@w7voa looks like we were right when we advocated for #opendata and #openknowledge. Access to ground truth is power, and openness helps (a little) to spread power.
On this day in 2001, the first Wikipedia article on 'Nupedia,' was created, marking the dawn of a revolutionary platform for collaborative knowledge-sharing! 
Let’s celebrate the power of community-driven information! #Wikipedia #KnowledgeIsPower #OpenKnowledge #Wikipedia
"Sharing isn’t immoral — it’s a moral imperative."

@unir Ich kann in der Nachschau nur sagen: 2014 zum 31c3 mitgenommen worden zu sein, war eine der prägendsten Ereignisse der letzten <10 Jahre für mich. Ohne diese (und die folgenden) Erfahrungen wäre ich heute nicht da, wo ich bin.
Bin kein Informatiker geworden, war auch schon länger nicht mehr auf c3s und/oder in Hackerspaces (einfach aus Zeitgründen).
Aber der 'Hacker'-/'Nerd'-Vibe ist so viel mehr, aus dieser Community habe ich #OpenKnowledge und #SharingIsCaring gelernt.
@mschfr das wäre doch mal ein großartiges #Wisskomm und #PublicHistory Projekt!
Und ließe sich ja gut an Wikenigma binden / rückspiegeln - für mehr #OpenKnowledge

I had the opportunity to post one of my all time favorite quotes:
"Those with access to these resources — students, librarians, scientists — you have been given a privilege. You get to feed at this banquet of knowledge while the rest of the world is locked out. But you need not — indeed, morally, you cannot — keep this privilege for yourselves."
