Rich Stein (he/him)<p>Wikipedia is giving away its volunteers' hard work and research efforts to train AI. It is an effort to fend off bot scrapers and reduce the strain on its servers — but to me it seems like that's not what most Creative Commons proponents have in mind when they sign on to help Wikipedia. <br><a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/650467/wikipedia-kaggle-partnership-ai-dataset-machine-learning" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/news/650467/wikip</span><span class="invisible">edia-kaggle-partnership-ai-dataset-machine-learning</span></a><br>h/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.masto.land/@dave" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dave</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://social.masto.land/@dave/114352800317662714" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">social.masto.land/@dave/114352</span><span class="invisible">800317662714</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IntellectualProperty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntellectualProperty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
