Calishat<p>Grouping Concepts Temporally Instead of Topically, Using Wikipedia&nbsp;Data</p><p>There's been so much talk about "vibes" in programming lately that it gave me an idea for a Wikipedia tool. If you accept the idea that Wikipedia page view data can be used as "fossilized attention" (indicators of public interest in a topic) then you can use information extracted from page view data -- like derivation from average views (z-score) -- as a benchmark of public interest.</p><p><a href="https://www.calishat.com/2025/03/14/grouping-concepts-temporally-instead-of-topically-using-wikipedia-data/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">calishat.com/2025/03/14/groupi</span><span class="invisible">ng-concepts-temporally-instead-of-topically-using-wikipedia-data/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>The future of free and open access isn't about saying “wait, not like that” — it’s about saying "yes, like that, but under fair terms”.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>It would be wise for these companies to begin prioritizing the ongoing health of the commons. It would also be wise for the rest of us to not rely on AI companies to come to their senses or develop a conscience en masse, and instead force them to engage on creators’ terms.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. By operating in this purely extractive way, they destroy the things that underpin their businesses.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>Instead of worrying about “wait, not like that”, I think we need to reframe the conversation to “wait, not only like that” or “wait, not in ways that threaten open access itself”.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>But if we want to create a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, we should stop attempting to wall off the commons.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>The impulse is often to tighten the licenses, or stop publishing under free licenses (if at all). But this threatens to destroy the very commons we set out to build.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>The free and open access vision is inspiring, but there are instances in which people who freely license their work go “wait, no, not like that”. People reselling their free works, tech companies profiting off their FOSS code, and AI companies training on their material.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>Newsletter: The real threat isn't AI using open knowledge — it's AI companies killing the projects that make knowledge free.

oatmeal<p>Quoting Jimmy Wales: “Every time Elon tweets his nonsense, we get a surge in donations, and no wonder, Wikipedia is the antidote to his brand of sloppy misinformation, and the public knows it.”</p><p>He clearly doesn't read the Hebrew [Zionist] Wikipedia, which is exacly that, but nontheless. This, for example, will sound familiar to anyone who's been involved in editing the Hebrew Wikipedia:</p><p>In early 2024, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee conducted an investigation that resulted in three editors being banned from the platform for their involvement in a pro-Israel campaign. According to the article, this coordinated effort began shortly after October 7, when an editor who had previously been removed from Wikipedia started emailing others with instructions to modify Gaza war-related pages, including articles about crimes against Israel, human shields, and the 2001 Beit Rima raid in the West Bank. On October 16, one of these editors sent an email—which was reviewed by Bloomberg News—urging colleagues working on Palestine-Israel articles to vote against an article that described the Gaza war as a "genocide" started by Israel. The email explicitly called for the article to be "deleted or merged" while labeling the page's editors as "propagandists" and describing the article itself as "ridiculous."</p><p><a href="https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/business/2025/03/07/wikipedia-roiled-with-internal-strife-overpage-editsabout-the-middle-east/81935309007/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eu.detroitnews.com/story/busin</span><span class="invisible">ess/2025/03/07/wikipedia-roiled-with-internal-strife-overpage-editsabout-the-middle-east/81935309007/</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoNazism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoNazism</span></a></p>
