Veit Schiele 🔜 @FrOSCon

In its white paper ‘Beyond AI & Copyright’, @paulk emphasises two structural risks of AI-supported access to knowledge:
1. the concentration of control over knowledge in the hands of a few powerful actors
2. the erosion of the institutions and economic foundations of human information production.
To preserve digital knowledge communities, he calls for public AI infrastructures and a levy system for commercial AI services.

Interesting coincidence: I’m listening to an episode of „Sockenpuppenzoo – Angriff auf Wikipedia“ (SWR podcast) on my way to #osibar2025 hosted at Wilkimedia in Berlin. I recommend the #podcast and look forward to meeting everyone! swr.de/swrkultur/doku-und-feat #OpenScience #OpenKnowledge

SWR KulturSockenpuppenzoo – Angriff auf WikipediaWikipedia ist die vielleicht wichtigste Webseite unserer Demokratie. Eine Internet-Utopie, wo jede und jeder freien Zugang zu Wissen hat. Und sogar selbst mitschreiben darf. Doch das System ist fragil. Rechtsextreme haben die Offenheit Wikipedias genutzt, um Informationen und Diskurse unerkannt zu manipulieren. Mutmaßlich schrieben sie mithilfe von hunderten von Fake Account Artikel zur deutschen Geschichte um, erfanden Fakten, relativierten den Holocaust – bis sich ihnen eine Handvoll Wikipedianer*innen mutig entgegenstellte. Ob die Täter wirklich gestoppt wurden, ist bis heute nicht klar. Die Investigativjournalisten Christoph Schattleitner und Daniel Laufer nehmen im Podcast "Sockenpuppenzoo" die Spur auf und fragen: Was sind das für Menschen, die hinter diesem Angriff stecken? Und können wir Wikipedia heute wirklich noch vertrauen? Ihre Recherche führt sie von den dunkelsten Ecken des Internets zu holzvertäfelten Burschenschaftskellern bis in die Kaderschmiede der Bundeswehr.

"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1546331.

Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."

ZenodoProject primer - Setting the stage for a 'different conversation' about open accessThe Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) is launching a new project for 2025, bringing together publishing organisations with those who pay for, fund and invest in scholarly communication. This initiative, delivered in collaboration with Research Consulting, builds on OASPA's research and outputs of the past few years, following over 3,000 downloads of these recommendations on financial and workflow barriers. This project primer is intended to frame a range of current challenges and takes you through three aspects of openness that need to be combined to provide a truly equitable scholalry communication system. At the end of the document, we pose several questions that we would like readers to carefully consider prior to attending project workshops or providing feedback via our open survey (accepting responses till 11 July 2025). Our goal is to help stakeholders across the scholarly publishing community embrace a more inclusive vision of open access - one that distributes benefits and responsibilities fairly, based on collectively determined priorities.

In 2010, #AaronSwartz downloaded 70 GB of articles from JSTOR. He faced a $1 million fine and 35 years in prison
➡️ Aaron took his own life in 2013.

#Meta illegally downloaded over 80 terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train its #AI models
➡️ facing no consequences.

Information is power, knowledge is power.

Beware and fight against those who want to keep you ignorant, unaware, and misinformed.

Vandaag werd mijn projectje "Bestemming Nerdland" vermeld in de nieuwste aflevering van de @nerdlandbe podcast (🙏 @jbaert en de andere podcasters)

🌐🔊 Ik maakte een interactieve wereldkaart waarmee je "nerdy bestemmingen" kan ontdekken, telkens met het bijbehorende fragment uit de podcast. Het project steunt op #opensource en #openknowledge, met dank aan o.a. @maplibre @openstreetmap en @wikidata

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

Weizenbaum-Institut

The conference will feature thematic sessions on key issues such as epistemic authority in digital spaces, asymmetries in knowledge production, and the challenges of platform governance. We will critically examine how historical legacies and current technological developments influence contemporary knowledge systems.
