Wikipedia is one of the last genuine places on the Internet, and these rat bastards are trying to contaminate that, too

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

what are the best ways to do it while still having practical access?
Here's a link to the Kiwix library download for all of Wikipedia. It's 111GB though, so you'll need a lot of space and also a lot of time to wait for it to download.
Note, you'll also need Kiwix in some manner to read the zim file once it's downloaded.
Kiwix library - All of Wikipedia - direct download link
Kiwix app download page
But this'll let you have a local copy you can reference should actual Wikipedia ever get ruined by GenAI, or worse, get taken down by hostile governments.
sounding like a great app for my server!
