From #JimmyWales: "I’m very happy personally that AI models are training on Wikipedia data because it’s human curated. I wouldn’t really want to use an AI that’s trained only on X, you know, like a very angry AI… But you [AI companies] should probably chip in and pay for your fair share of the cost that you’re putting on us.”

@petersuber unsurprising i guess, jimmy wales also being the president of Fandom. *wikipedia* contains some info about how that's been going: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom_(website)#2023%E2%80%93present:_Mass_layoffs_and_AI_Integration
