   Wikimedia, now. This worries me. But neither am I surprised; we've been preparing for this eventuality.

     @drwho @purple

     When editors or the Foundation delete content which was found to be harmful or illegal but has already been shared with third parties (including search engine and LLM companies), what steps does the Foundation follow in order to repair the downstream effects of that content on search results and data already used to train LLMs? What measures does the Foundation take to ensure that these companies, as well as the broader public, understand misinformation, bias, and other problems across its projects, including Wikipedia?

     Since when is that their responsibility? This is bunk. :blobfoxdisapprove:

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com @drwho@masto.hackers.town yes that's their tactic. assault with bunk bullshit and then go "oh well you see how incompetent they are" when the reply is inevitably "you are judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree -- fuck off"

     @purple @drwho And the dumbing down of the populace is the only thing that makes this possible. :blobfoxdisgust:
