nixCraft 🐧Humans independently edit Wikipedia for humans. They don’t have any Ads or cannot be bullied into removing content. Wikipedia is free from AI slop. No wonder tech bros with AI companies want to eliminate it so that their fake AI text generator can show or push propaganda. Please do not let Wikipedia die. It is an independent source and far more reliable than Gen AI companies. It is a real shame that it comes to this.

These dumps are already all over the globe, but each of us should check that they can get access to them *without the internet*.
Do you have a friend with a NAS that holds a dump? Do you know as a group how to read it?
If they succeed (they won't), they will go for censored only internet next (meaning the Gestapo will know what you read). This is almost impossible to achieve, and I could be completely wrong...
But doing this is good anyway.
