Internet Archive
From Reboil
The Internet Archive is a non-profit corporation dedicated to archive the Internet founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996. It is dedicated to obtaining, preserving, and curating digital knowledge so that information may not be lost to time.
The operation often runs afoul of commercial publishing corporations which, despite the ephemeral nature of the profitability of newly released works as well as their own corporate integrity, continuously fight to remove preserved works from the Internet Archive.[1]
The Internet Archive hosts the Open Library, Wayback Machine, and purl.org services.[2]

This will make it harder to train newer models by scraping the web, giving an advantage to firms which already did that, or which control access to human interfaces at scale. Indeed, we already see AI startups hammering the Internet Archive for training data.”
