Re: AI Is Tearing Wikipedia Apart

I've seen quite a few Wikipedia users quietly show resignation that a sufficiently funded Google-Gemini-powered encyclopedia would, by merely existing, outperform them in their nominal goal of "taking Google material and arranging it into encyclopedia articles without original research". There's a c...

Re: Wikipedians are unable to establish any coherent definition for "incel"

I think this is what a more mature article would look like. The one on Justapedia now. It's basically the 2012 English Wikipedia article tripled in size and with the more obnoxious incel self-back-patting removed, and also the anti-incel stuff, when it is nonsensical, removed or in a controversy sec...

Re: Wikipedians are unable to establish any coherent definition for "incel"

User:Writ_Keeper is now saying that "incel" doesn't mean involuntary celibacy to justify the article as it is written.

Families of suicides [...] in years prior This is a specific state legislature, I'm not aware of past campaigns like this taking place in Kansas legislature, nor can I find any.

Re: Twitter's decline

It's now entirely "X", including the domain name, starting a few hours ago.

And also Firefox with tracking-blocking doesn't work on it now, unless you turn on tracking. Just gives you a big message suggesting to turn off tracking.

A measure to criminalize the act of encouraging someone in Kansas to die by suicide has been signed into law. Gov. Laura Kelly signed the measure, HB 2144, on Wednesday. The new measure punishes someone for “knowingly encouraging another person to commit or attempt suicide when the person knows that...

Re: Twitter's decline

It feels like Musk is purposefully driving Twitter off a cliff. He pretty much admitted as much in his now infamous interview where he flips everyone the bird, including advertisers. He's also trolling virtually all his own users. Sometimes in an admittedly funny way. Last thing was when he declared...
