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...

If I had his real name, he is DEFINITELY getting written up in the Daily Mail. Because he must be a Wikipedia editor, an active one. Perhaps a very powerful one.

Re: AI - Fad of the future (a Danger?)

It's easy to see where AI today shines by seeing what jobs it is taking away and what business it is hurting. Current AI is replacing jobs in marketing, journalism, foreign language tutoring, and retail. It is also allegedly decreasing the income of artists and graphic designers. The whole "anti-AI"...

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

Not surprising--also would not be surprised if Small has personal friends deeply embedded in the "wiki cult". WP can go after Kiwi Farms, 8kun or Dramatica because those particular incels "aren't cooperative", or whatever stupid excuse there is. Never what you know but who you know. A blackpill mis...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

Funny WPO thread about a podcast featuring Molly claiming that "Wikipedia is all there is left of the internet" or something..... https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13477 I am hoping they are not just now realizing she is a propagandist and will be as vapid as needed to be so. htt...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

Today I spent a few minutes giving AI Mollyisms, or opinions Molly is known for spreading. My concern is from a personal level as her writing, which appears #1 on Google, has negatively affected my life and even I believe a relationship with a previous therapist I had, among quite a few others. I ha...

Re: Abd Lomax died

rip, I don't think I ever spoke with him but it seemed like he got misrepresented a bit. Yea I read the RW article, and it reads like a hatchet job by someone with a personal grudge. Lomaxs' public claim that Larson that wasn't a pedophile, the claim that seemed to evoke the furor of the wikisphere ...

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !

Techdirt gives WMF "VP of Global Advocacy" Rebecca MacKinnon a podcast entry to spew the usual nuance-free Wikipedia propaganda https://www.techdirt.com/2024/04/16/techdirt-podcast-episode-387-abolishing-section-230-would-abolish-wikipedia/ Was waiting for her to falsely imply that Wikipedia is the...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

The Mt Gox collapse was way more interesting to me. There's a gazillion indictment stories related to it and it was the largest crypto exchange and the first crypto exchange when it collapsed. There's still news about it. The top exchanges have been a string of criminal collapses and failures practi...

Re: Molly White is running a blog bitching about NFTs and crypto

Most people have no clue who bankman-fried is or what "cryptocurrency" exactly is. I guarantee no one in my family has any idea for example. Nevermind my mom texted me the bankman story unprompted so its like the only crypto story she knows now. News was bombarded with stories after his sentencing ...
