Nearly nothing. Most of wikimedia's income comes is small donations from individuals. Then there's donations or grants from the various philanthropic institutions and companies. I wouldn't be amazed if the grant from the US government is less than 1% of wikimedia's income, maybe even less than 0.1%.

Now, that does not disqualify their concern. Wikipedia is the goto place for a lot of people when they look up information on a particular topic, that makes them quite powerful. Wikipedia has a requirement to link to sources or provide citations for articles. That being said, not everybody checks those.

So, I'm not amazed they want to check wikipedia on what they do about abuse.

All that being said, there are public modification logs of articles and each page has its own discussion page. They can see for themselves what has been done about malicious modifications. On top of that, wikimedia has a page about vandalism.

Who in their right mind would attack a community project? Why?

Is it some disgruntled user who got banned from their forums?

Europe basically doesn't have a tech sector. We're sucking on the USA's tit, while the USA has recently proven to be an unreliable "ally". You'd guess our bureaucratic institutions would run to the few local suppliers (such as Suse) there are... but no, they all keep buying Microsoft and Intel like nothing is going on.

All the while Trump can press a button and the entire EU will grind to a halt. From another perspective, all that American influence is slowly strangling our own IT industry... the little that we have.

That guy just made sure he will never be hired again for the same or similar functions again.

At about the size of a human nail I can imagine loads of uses for this. Computers can get even smaller with this, which would be a real advantage. Devices which need to be small (such as phones) can absolutely make good use of this.

All those countries calling themselves "communist" are in reality "totalitarian". You people would be happy with an actual communist country (you know: communist is based on the word community (based on principles such as being nice to one another and helping one another in the community)).

A perfect expression of communism is the average company. Lots of people working towards the same goal (e.g. a community working towards the same goal). Hence a "capitalistic communism" is very possible.

Problem is, with countries it generally messes up. People start off with "yeah, sure, all this stuff sounds really nice" and toppling the government to replace it with a "communist" government, which finds that it all of a sudden has a lot of power and... well, the saying says it all: power corrupts, infinite power corrupts infinitely.

Now, I prefer countries which actually care for its people (socialism), as opposed to countries which let them die in hunger or let their people become homeless due to staggering medical bills. In a socialist country people are actually taken care off and going to a hospital won't ruin you financially.

That being said: no country fits perfectly in one category or another. All of them are actually a mixture of various ideas, even North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

That is why you change the link to your repository on your website.

I hope that AI gets trained on millions of voices, all in different languages and dialects.

Don't forget about those with speech impediments.

Also, it has to discern when the user is talking to the computer or to someone else.

If you have a problem with github, simply pack up your things and move elsewhere. Git is decentralized, you know.

Its an ambitious idea, but we should build more to be rid of all the useless people.

My favorite application is either an AppImage or a .deb. As this doesn't have a regular package manager, I hope this will support AppImages.

So Anthropic wants no consequences for committing blatant copyright infringement, while everybody else faces prison time over this?

No. They trained their AI by feeding it works they didn't obtain the rights to. Now there should be consequences. If this means Anthropic goes belly-up, so be it.

If this succeeds, we can basically say goodbye to the AI industry. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.

It's not as if cleanroom workers can be created out of thin air.

They need training, training those training the cleanroom workers need to be done, the curriculum needs to be developed, and so on. Apparently Mr. Trump thinks those people can magically appear out of thin air.

I remember a long time ago where Microsoft was screaming "we going to implement amazing feature X in the next release of Windows". Everybody would wait for the next release of Windows. Then it arrived without amazing feature X, but it sure got everybody to switch to the next release of Windows, as opposed to the competition.
