like the problem with not mentioning streamplace here for me isnt even streamplace, its that it indicates that the company itself hasnt internalised the idea that theyre building a protocol-based ecosystem into its corporate culture

Libby was about accepting input tho. This seems more about extracting compensation for scraping that’s already happening. In an ideal world these AI cos would wither away already, but in this one it feels like there’s a difference between “you can come in” & “you’re in but you’re paying to get out.”

Libby added an AI feature to the app. WMF is partnering with AI companies to provide APIs that let them scrape wikipedia in a way that they pay for so WMF is not just absorbing the costs of the AI companies scraping the freely available CC licensed content.

Fundamentally different.

In a way, maybe, but given how widely this headline was misinterpreted certainly not in the way people expect when they read that phrase

These programs help to offset what I’ve previously described as a vampiric relationship between AI companies and the commons: www.citationneeded.news/free-and-ope...

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.
