Copyright questions loom as ChatGPT's Ghibli-style images go viral

The images raised questions about copyright infringement by OpenAI, which already faces lawsuits regarding the use of source material without permission.

Text can't express the nuances of a #language compared to #multimedia, and most of the world's languages are oral (and not written). We’re launching OpenSpeaks Archives, an open (@creativecommons licensed) and public digital language multimedia archive optimised for #Wikipedia and #Wikimedia projects, focusing on lesser-resourced languages.

More from the first pilot with five native tongues (Baleswari #Odia, my native tongue, and #Bonda, Ho, #Kusunda and Van #Gujjari): https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/02/18/openspeaks-archives-a-language-archive-for-wikimedia-projects/

Dear #disability fediverse, what are the terms for 'disability' and 'people with disabilities' in #Hindi and #Urdu, as preferred by those with disabilities?

(NOTE: I'm aware of 'vikalang' - crippled limb, and 'divyang' - divine limb. Both are exonyms and deeply problematic.)
