@stephenturner.us there is also ZotSeek, a new and promising plug-in, to run this type of LLM-based semantic search across one’s #Zotero library locally with #Nomic‘s models.
Granting for-profit companies and particularly those with close links to the publishing mafia access to the most intimate insight into your intellectual endeavours is an #extractivist dream come true. They didn’t get you buying up all the other reference managers, they got you to hand over the keys to your study with the promise of “free” short cuts. And make no mistake, they will recommend literature from their catalogues and will use your engagement stats for pricing of subscriptions.

Strong #solarpunk vibes here, 'weaving' a public building!
"As architects, we need to unlearn everything we have been taught. Our idea of progress is completely based on #colonialist, #extractivist practices. People talk about #sustainability, but what exactly are we sustaining?" - Architect, #AnaMariaGutiérrez

"The extent to which #extractivist #platforms have embraced #FreeCulture, capitalizing on voluntary #work and free labor, has become clear, as well as how the success of Free/Libre and #OpenSource #Software relied on its alignment with an #IT #industry profiting from #exploitation and speculating on growth. [...] How can we create conditions for re-use which acknowledge different kinds of contributors? What would a #decolonial and #feminist #license look like which could acknowledge entangled notions of #authorship? #CC4r opens up a space for negotiation and conversation, but is far from answering any of these questions. With CC4r, we hope to incite thoughtful and irreverent #practices that do not evade these questions but instead invite its users to inhabit them. For us, CC4r is more than a license. It is a commitment to care for the collective conditions of the many, for “these explosions, the principle and #economy of which we have not begun to grasp, and whose outbursts we cannot predict.""
