#7The "largest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled" isn't Wikipedia. It's Anna's Archive.
Especially relevant when reading this from a paywalled article.

Maybe give some arguments or evidence instead of linking wikipedia.
Everyone clicking on that archive link avoided having to pay someone to see information.
I'm personally a copyright abolitionist, so I'm pretty okay with that - but I want people who pearl clutch about AI systems not paying to realize that it's the same damn thing going on when they click on the archive link.

To me, "compendium" means a single organized reference, not a collection of many different individual works. More encyclopedia than library.
