You can archive fandom sites using wikiteam3. You can also create a browsable offline zim of that archive that will lose the fandom theme but keep the content. It's a bit of a convoluted process though.
I think it would be a problem because the scrapers are hammering all types of websites from small forums to reddit with tens of thousands of unique ip addresses at a time. Websites that have neither the money, hardware, or protection had to figure out solutions really quick or suffer what is essentially a constant ddos attack. This is the reality of the web now, it's just an incredibly hostile place.
I have been threatened and almost mugged but both were at night. I'd still ride you just need situational awareness. It's less a public transport issue and more my city sucks with dealing with mental health and homelessness.
It's fear-baiting as marketing. Every week there's some story about how dangerous or capable AI is. I wouldn't out it past these companies to stage some event to try and boost hype.
Id immediately tell that supervisor I don't consent to being filmed in the workplace. Then straight to hr to say the same. If nothing changes then I'd be off to find a new job wtf.
Every website down to small independent forums are getting absolutely slammed by thousands of AI bots. They are just raping any text they can find to train their models.
Just about any forum thread that goes on for pages ends up in an argument. I think this can be avoided with strict rules and users who reinforce the culture.
As far as reddit goes I find the larger the number of subscribers to a subreddit the worse it gets. However depending on the topic of the subreddit even a niche small subreddit can be toxic in some way. This tracks here as well.
I would like to see more discussion about an artificial technical or skill barrier needed to participate on a website or service. This might sound elitist but keeping "normies" out goes a long way to helping keep the discussion quality high. Even having something as simple as an "ugly" more text based interface helps.
I used to think everyone should have access to the internet back in the day. After that happened I changed my mind
For me if it is not possible to scan something non-destructively then it is acceptable to destroy one copy to share with many. It is not acceptable to destroy a book for non-preservation purposes.
Also they are probably destroying many copies of the same books over and over.
Still plenty to be pissed about though. As someone who does archiving it's still enraging because they are destroying thousands of books not for archival where you destroy one copy to provide access to all, but to copy the book, rewrite it, and sell it back to you.
There's now less copies of said book, it wasn't archived, they stole that content, and are now selling it back to you. People will then take this stolen content and act like it's something they created and then try to turn profit. It makes every copyright argument the publishers have ever made look like a joke. Why do publishing companies even exist?

God the future is depressing

If an AI company ignores robot.txt exclusions and scrapes a site, then turns around and sells that content as a service, is that unauthorized access?
Begun, the Polar Wars has.

When you're here, you're family!

Came back wrong
Japan has always had some of the most aggressive copywriting laws. It's why there is very little archival or preservation efforts there.
You could make a zim file out of it and share the zim file. I imagine it would be quite large though.

They are killing Google earth desktop application.
It kind of goes to show the type of person who is ok profiting off this sort of inequality

Seems like every week there is marketing hype masquerading as news kike this.
There's always someone like this in every toxic workplace.
