Good science is boring, good politics is boring, good espionage is boring, good journalism is boring, good history is boring, good banking is boring, good business is boring. Entertainment serves us this pop view of the world...

But wikipedia is more valuable than all the LLM slop machines combined.

This is so true. These systems that provide the foundation to our daily existence should be all boing, because they should be always working well and never surprise us.

Then everybody would get the chance and energy to pursue excitement in their life’s meaningful parts: having interesting conversations with friends, passionate relationships with their partner, or finding excitement anywhere from horror movies to skydiving.

May you live in exciting times
