Another thought-provoking article from @molly0xfff , which relates to something I was posting about the other day. This feels like a starting point for a wider discussion.

She nails it in saying that rather than trying to put roadblocks in the path of the "vampires" (which hurts everyone), creators need ways to communicate our preferences AND make them enforceable.

But how we can do that isn't clear & the AI industry is lobbying hard for things to go the opposite way.

The future of free and open access isn't saying “wait, not like that” — it’s saying "yes, like that, but under fair terms”. https://www.citationneeded.news/free-and-open-access-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/ #OpenAccess #AI #Wikipedia
