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?

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

I'm still learning the landscape of LLMs, but do we expect an LLM to be able to answer that? I didn't think they had meta information about their own operation.
your understanding is correct.
you can even torrent all of wikipedia, and a whole bunch of other wikis.
Would be great if they did that and maybe seeded it too.
