Wikipedia is one of the last genuine places on the Internet, and these rat bastards are trying to contaminate that, too

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wikipedia is astroturfed BS for anything remotely politically related.
Useful if you want to learn about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker or a closed-cycle regenerative heat engine, etc..
So no politics and subjects with political implications such as history.
That's what prolewiki is for
I trust no one with my history or geopolitics but ML's.
Most informed, well read and thorough people on the planet
It's really "strange" how people have this delusional viewpoint of wikipedia as neutral, honest, etc.
I guess it seems fine if you've got lib politics completely within the hegemonic narrative.
The point is you can check the citations to validate. It can be poisoned by wuzzles but you can discover that with just a bit of effort checking the citations.
