'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'

Some of the themes about #GenAI and @inaturalist.bsky.social also come up in discussing maps, e.g. Google versus @openstreetmap.bsky.social , see forum.inaturalist.org/t/use-openst... The choice between for-profit company versus open and "free" is often complicated.

Looks like @inaturalist.bsky.social has got itself caught in the #GenAI storm. iNat uses AI already for it's image and geography based identification, so I imagine they feel they've been hit by a truck after announcing what on the face of it is this sponsorship by Google.
