Reply to comment by Coomb in New study examines Leonardo da Vinci's experiments on gravity by Rear-gunner

That’s literally what they do. The most important public domain texts in History are hosted there for anyone to access them freely (which is what the Internet should be…)

Hosting digital versions of things isn't the same as digitizing and/or translating them.

But that’s how it starts. Once something is hosted, people have access to it and can work on translating it collaboratively. If 100% of all medical research was posted online and easily accessible, language barrier would not be as much of an issue as you think

They aren't talking about the language barrier. They're saying the people that originally translate and digitize it (which takes a lot of time and effort), they deserve to be paid.

This is kind of a terrifying idea in my opinion, current ai will create fake sources for information and convince itself that they’re legitimate, even with a lot of advances I don’t think I’ll ever want to trust ai to digitize, translate or compile information
