Although generative AI systems rely heavily on Wikipedia's vast trove of information, some companies won't pay for it, the CEO said. Publicly disclosed enterprise customers include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Perplexity and others. OpenAI and Anthropic aren't among Wikimedia's customers.

If ashli babbitt's family can get $5 million after she literally broke into the Capitol to overturn an election, Renee Good's family should get at least triple that for ICE agents murdering her in the damn street.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

🚨 Meta blocked President Lula’s Facebook page and campaign ads two weeks before the election While also failing to block 87% of disinformation ads targeted against him. A handful of companies shouldn't have this much power over a country's democracy.

#tdih 1962, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson published, exposed impact of pesticides on environment. Carson was vilified: called a Communist, disloyal, unscientific, and hysterical. Sound familiar? Attacks on truth tellers, with media complicity. See⬇️🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/si...

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
