To maintain that balance, Wikimedia asks developers of generative AI to clearly cite their sources and contribute to the continued existence of the open knowledge project via the paid Wikimedia Enterprise platform.

The Daniels report won't solve anti-Black racism at the Met but it offers a new way to tackle it | Keith Magee

When I first read Shereen Daniels' report 30 Patterns of Harm, a damning review of anti-Black racism within the Metropolitan police, I didn't feel outrage I felt recognition. The report lays bare what Black Londoners have long known: racism in policing isn't a case of occasional failures. It is structural and, left unexamined, it reproduces. I also felt something else: the faint possibility of change. For perhaps the first time, the Met has chosen to see itself clearly.

It replaces deliberation with automation, transparency with opacity, and pluralism with personality. Its "editors" are algorithms trained under Musk's direction, generating rewritten entries that emphasize his favorite narratives and downplay those he disputes. It is a masterclass in how not to make an encyclopedia, a warning against confusing speed with wisdom.

First, this tax was conceived behind closed doors with no public discussion about whether it's needed. The tax was rolled out two days before the Board of Supervisors voted to put it on the ballot, which isn't enough time to let the public digest the pros and cons of the measure. Second, the county should have commissioned an outside independent audit to see if there's any fat in the government, and if so, how much can be cut. We're not talking about the typical annual audits which rubber-stamp normal spending, but an in-depth look by an outside accounting firm like Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young or KPMG.

The multi-million dollar effort to remove public access to police radio communications across the East Bay has a new start date, roughly a month after similar plans were undone by a technology snafu. Every law enforcement agency in Contra Costa County including all police departments and the county's sheriff's office will end public access to their radio chatter on Oct. 7, said David Swing, head of the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority. Nearly every such agency in Alameda County plans to follow suit on Oct. 9, he said. The only holdout appears to be the Berkeley Police Department, which vowed last month to keep their conversations public.
