Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

Wow. This feels like a landmark.
30 years ago, we met a guy who was trapped in a world from 20 years prior to that
I can feel time telescoping

30 years ago today, we first met Disco Stu. “Two Bad Neighbors” first aired January 14, 1996.

Mommy covered her face with her hands and now she’s lost media 💔
We have to take the phrase "Lost Media" away from YouTubers for awhile until they reeducate themselves on what that actually means.

When Carol had her sleepover with them, we saw a guy toss a shirt into a big tub presumably for washing?

Setting aside that it’s a TV show, do we think the Pluribus only wears clothes to not freak out Carol or the other unjoined?

Frankly, I think what we should really be shaming here is the fact that the actual writer of this piece, who is a TV editor for THR, admitted to using ChatGPT for research.
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.
