The erasure of this Black #MedalOfHonor recipient is another example of what I'm helping to document on @wikipedia with the help of the @internetarchive.

@Starcade

Here's a #Wikipedia article on International Harvester with links to the articles on the Scout, Travelall and other models.

The Scout was one of those things my friends and I wanted to have "when we grew up". Now maybe I'll have my chance :-)

EDIT: Since I remember the original I guess it's pretty clear I'm now well past "grown up", at least chronologically....

The Wikipedia article for aigrette is really really short and has nothing about the historical bird murder. If I dig up the paragraph, does a Victorian book work as a citation? Does anyone want to mention that on there? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aigrette

(For reasons of avoiding being lost in eleven thousand rabbit holes I am not allowing myself to edit wikipedia pages.)

@schwarzPhotoBot It is interesting to find this picture in the Berlin Digital Museum. We should include it on his #Wikipedia page (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Alberto_Corval%C3%A1n).

The future of free and open access isn't about saying “wait, not like that” — it’s about saying "yes, like that, but under fair terms”.

It would be wise for these companies to begin prioritizing the ongoing health of the commons. It would also be wise for the rest of us to not rely on AI companies to come to their senses or develop a conscience en masse, and instead force them to engage on creators’ terms.

Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. By operating in this purely extractive way, they destroy the things that underpin their businesses.

Instead of worrying about “wait, not like that”, I think we need to reframe the conversation to “wait, not only like that” or “wait, not in ways that threaten open access itself”.

But if we want to create a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, we should stop attempting to wall off the commons.

The impulse is often to tighten the licenses, or stop publishing under free licenses (if at all). But this threatens to destroy the very commons we set out to build.

The free and open access vision is inspiring, but there are instances in which people who freely license their work go “wait, no, not like that”. People reselling their free works, tech companies profiting off their FOSS code, and AI companies training on their material.
