The jump from "web-based" to "on servers you don't control" is a non sequitur. It's perfectly possible for a large organisation to host its own software on its own servers.

The link in the summary with anchor text MorphoSource takes you to the repository. But the combination of "over 13,000 museum specimens" and "free to anyone" does seem to be an overclaim. There are 6399 objects marked as "open download", and 10659 marked as "restricted download".
... the Global South thinks the West is full of shit and completely hypocritical

Absolutely. But that's orthogonal to the question of whether China's trying to dominate it. The Belt and Road Initiative potentially gives China ownership of the modern infrastructure that it's helping to build and that the partner nations will depend on. It's at least plausible that the strategic thinking behind the initiative isn't purely about facilitating trade but also about setting up a good grip on the other nations' economies in the future.
Not sure why you mention a signature specifically.
GPP obviously mentions a signature specifically because the judge of first instance mentioned signatures specifically in the ruling, and that's what the appeal is about. The interesting question is why the judge mentioned signatures specifically, because they don't appear to be mentioned specifically in the statute referenced by counsel.
I've lived all but two years of my life in the EU, and worked in the EU for half of my life. In all that time I've never spent time talking to Commission staff. I'm frankly bemused that you think that is an intrinsic element of living and working here.

So, essentially, this thing was trained on a steady diet of pro-life propaganda and death metal album covers. What a combination.
Nah. It probably found instances of modern women talking about how their abortion allowed them to secure wealth and a nice career for themselves, and then correlated that with ancient practices of sacrificing children before demon-gods for wealth, power, and a good harvest, and then generated the image.
I wonder if the most influential data sources can be extracted from the system. I'll have to ask later.
Anyway, I recall that research has shown that if you limit AI to giving answers that only confirm with a particular worldview, the quality and accuracy of results goes down dramatically.
But your username is all other people see. Their is some other exceptions like if the other person in your conversation has your number in their contact list.
How does that exception work? There are sufficiently few distinct phone numbers that it's possible to brute force hash them all, so to avoid leaking the phone number to the end user it would seem that the client has to upload its entire contact list to the server.
I don't know whether anyone has published MRI results from a bowl of rice, but the famous one which won an IgNobel prize involved fMRI of a dead salmon. Note that the conclusion wasn't that the field is "heavily interpretive": it was that statistical analyses which perform many tests need to account for the fact that they're performing many tests.

I would definitely buy a vehicle with a B-29 dashboard.
There are two still flying, but I'm not sure that they're for sale.
That says a lot about the kind of things people throw away where you live. Where I live, there are people who scrape a living by going through the bins (which, yes, says a lot about where I live), but they're looking for metal to sell to scrap merchants rather than items which look new.
