      As long as the datasets are open, it is our best hope. I know it doesn’t compensate the people whose work’s copyright and licenses have been violated, but I think it’s the only realistic hope we’ve got of getting out of this informational dystopia with a reasonably intact library of humanity’s knowledge that hasn’t been locked down and/or monetized. The AI scrapers and generators are in the process of burning down the great library of Alexandria that the Internet had become, and we are already starting to feel its loss. We cannot stop the wave of toxic pollution that is spreading through all our digital content now, but the archives from before this apocalypse started will become the most valuable thing humanity has ever produced. This is information war, and we are losing.

      This is what confuses me. The internet archive has been archive the entire Internet for years. Yet AI does the same to make a way for people to code easier and it is a problem all of the sudden?

        IA is a nonprofit and archives to preserve human history. shitty AI startups do this to monetize the data, and their end goal is to “replace” the people who made that data in the first place.

        Thanks to these AI mfs the IA now prevents access to many items because they can be used as training material which fucking sucks

        Internet Archive exists as a reference for your edification on a donation basis; AI companies intend to initiate a top down societal restructuring of jobs and thus access to benefits, paywall access to your own collective information, fund themselves through ouroboros leveraged deals and VC money (value that’s been stolen from the general populace over the years)
