I'm not sure why they don't just cache the websites and avoid going back for at least 24 hours, especially in the case of most sites. I swear its like we're re-learning software engineering basics with LLMs / AI and it kills me.

This! Today I asked Claude Sonnet to read the Wikipedia article on “inference” and answer a few of my questions.

Sonnet responded: “Sorry, I have no access.” Then I asked it why and it was flummoxed and confused. I asked why Anthropic did not simply maintain mirrors of Wikipedia in XX different languages and run a cron job every week.

Still no cogent answer. Pathetic. Very much an Anthropic blindspot—to the point of being at least amoral and even immoral.

Do the big AI corporation that have profited greatly from Wikimedia Foundation give anything back? Or are they just large internet blood suckers without ethics?

Dario and Sam et al.: Contribute to the welfare of your own blood donors.

Even worse when you consider that you can download all of Wikipedia for offline use...
