I’ve added the link below the quote, which may help in the future.

I like that take.

I wonder if this being right on the heels is related to that.

I’d love that to be the outcome, tbh.

I appreciate the suggestion. It quite literally hadn’t even occurred to me, so I’ll be sure to do that for future posts intended for wide audiences.

Oh that’s wild! On fedia there definitely is, as in attached screenshot. I guess they decided that since nobody on reddit ever read the articles anyhow, why implement it :D

I posted the link to Ars, a pretty solid tech news source, but thank you for the direct link to Open AI’s announcement as well. The more sources the merrier!

Pretty much. In effect, they just paid 1 billion dollars to shovel their IP into the public domain woodchipper.

The fact that I’ll probably never be able to afford a new car again gets easier to accept every year it seems. Yay? I guess?

I just tell people “It’s free and I don’t get twenty thousand ‘license term updates’ in my email every month”

Writing month is exactly just that. Just an excuse for those looking for one :) I hope the new community does well, since none of the writing communities on the fedi are especially active.

Don’t worry, they’ll stop charging people with this soon and then it’ll just allllll go away.

In my case, I simply ended up buying a subscription to Brittanica, which I started using instead. I just don’t trust wikipedia in this era. https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/04/30/our-new-ai-strategy-puts-wikipedias-humans-first/

If an ‘information source’ is planning to start using AI, I’m going to go with one that has some accountability.

Was your reason, like some of the others stated, that it was the nature of the ads?

Agreed, no chastisement here, just pointing out that it’s a bit ‘preaching to the converted’. Though as someone in this thread considered it a final straw, clearly it was of some use.
