Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.
(The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

At some point they’re going to go after Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine. More decentralised global efforts needed.

They want you to think Community Notes has all the integrity of Wikipedia, but with none of the governance structures that make Wikipedia what it is.
To mangle a reference, if they wanted Wikipedia, they would have invented Wikipedia.

I think I may have just signed my first ever fiction contract (for an anthology) which contained a long anti-A.I. clause.
(Meaning: I promised I didn't use A.I. to write my story, they promised not to use my story to train A.I., etc.)
