    Is the Wikipedia foundation libertarian? And where do you think the AIs are ripping all their data from?

    As far as I know they aren’t some nefarious mega corporation.

      AFAIK the founder of Wikipedia is a libertarian who believes the free market will solve all problems. He, of course, has to make a bunch of excuses for why Wikipedia itself isn’t being helped by the Free Market^tm , such as “We don’t have real capitalism bro just trust me bro please donate.”
