Data Rescue Project: Data Rescue Project Launches New Portal. “The Data Rescue Project (DRP) is excited to announce the launch of the DRP Portal—a milestone in our collective effort to protect and preserve at-risk public information. … The Portal makes it easy to discover rescued datasets by government offices sharing the data, topic, and more.”

My prediction is that we won’t ever get public release of early OpenAI, Google, or even Anthropic #training #datasets.
Why? There are too many rich hard-right conservative backers who need all the misogyny, racism & hate speech to stay there.
We could have just & equal #AI, but we won’t. There’s too much money & power to be made of injustice.

From the Data Rescue Project: the Data Rescue Tracker. “The Data Rescue Tracker is a collaborative tool built to catalog existing public data rescue efforts so that we can coordinate better across initiatives. At this stage, you can use the tool to help reduce duplication of rescue efforts. The Data Rescue Tracker aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is backing up which dataset from […]

"Almost two dozen repositories of research and public health data supported by the National Institutes of Health are marked for “review” under the Trump administration’s direction, and researchers and archivists say the data is at risk of being lost forever if the repositories go down.
“The problem with archiving this data is that we can’t,” Lisa Chinn, Head of Research Data Services at the University of Chicago, told 404 Media. Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency, and those agreements are carefully administered through a disclosure risk review process.
A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”
Repositories with the message include archives of cancer imagery, Alzheimer’s disease research, sleep studies, HIV databases, and COVID-19 vaccination and mortality data."

Axios: NOAA research websites slated to go dark get a reprieve.”NOAA has averted the early cancellation of an Amazon Web Services contract that would have caused a slew of agency websites to go dark beginning at midnight, the agency said Friday. Why it matters: The outages mainly would have affected NOAA’s research division, and would have made numerous websites and data sets inaccessible to […]

This data may vanish under Trump, so we charted it
Some of most valuable #datasets in human history vanished from #US #government websites, felt like watching Library of Alexandria go up in smoke
Many have gone on record describing #Census Bureau’s #American Community Survey as wonder of modern world
Another loss? #HouseholdPulse survey, online survey that provided week-by-week data on income losses, economic struggles and precarious mental health
