Wikipedia has always been subject to EU laws regarding personal dignity rights, like the right to be forgotten for example.

If we ever have a truly sentient AI it's not going to be designed by Google, OpenAI, or Deepmind.
It depends on what kind of weird shit you're into.

Probably the only newspaper in the world that didn't have this article already written down and refined over the last few years.
You can't sell things to their owner.
