Here is that #Wikimania submission: Achieving more together: free knowledge as a bridge for #collaboration between #Wikimedia and other #volunteer initiatives. Unfortunately, they're using a non-public review process again this year.

If you're involved in #volunteering activities and haven't considered #Wikipedia or its sister projects as potential partners yet, now is a good time to give that a thought, and I'd be happy to think along.

Achieving more together: free knowledge as a bridge for collaboration between Wikimedia and other volunteer initiatives Language: English This session explores collaborations between the Wikimedia ecosystem and other volunteer-driven communities. We'll examine how diverse initiatives, from climate action to cultural preservation, can leverage Wikimedia's resources for knowledge sharing. Many groups already collect and share valuable information, like indigenous farming techniques or cultural heritage. We'll discuss how to bridge these efforts with Wikimedia projects, maximizing impact. Despite existing connections, many opportunities remain untapped. This workshop aims to spark new partnerships, empowering participants to explore practical collaborations and expand their reach through Wikimedia platforms. ...

@bplein Before generative AI, people had the same behavior with other sources of knowledge, like encyclopedias. I remember seeing kids just copy and paste the content of a Wikipedia article without checking their sources. But they were just kids, and it's fundamental to teach them how to use an encyclopedia, that it's just a starting point, and if you want to go deeper into a topic, you have to check reliable sources.

I think the situation today is similar to your description. We have text generators that give convincing answers to the unwary, and those who haven't learned to question the sources of knowledge will accept LLM answers without any critical thinking. The same is true of encyclopedias, books, magazines, and any other sources of knowledge.

The importance of critical thinking has never been as important as it is today, especially given how easy it is to create disinformation campaigns using generative AI.

Struggling to make the world a better place? Then how about improving the map of the world by participating in #openstreetmap ?
It's like #wikipedia just for maps. It provides a free and open-source alternative to Google Maps. I use it with #osmandapp for car navigation.

The easiest way to participate is probably with streetcomplete.app
No prior knowledge necessary.
The app guides you to complete missing map data by little quests. Careful though: it's very addictive.
