My genuine hope is that this can spark a broader change. Empower communities on other platforms, and see this become a grassroots movement of users deciding whether AI should be welcome in their communities, and to what extent. On their own terms.

A pushback against the #enshittification and forceful push of AI by so many companies in these last few years.

@quarknova I would say that the battle was lost when Wikipedia allowed big tech to buy access to copyleft content without needing to share alike.

Your new policy simply enforces "fresh meat" for the models, without any requirement for reciprocity back to the commons.

Wikipedians then, are signing up to work for free to feed the models, while people downstream from the models can use their labor entirely for free without giving back.
