Re: WPO talks about the AI storm

Notice how much space they spent blubbering about Wales's ugly shirt. Idiots. To be fair, it was a really ugly shirt. The AI issue is going to be the biggest one at WP over the next five years. The hatred for generative AI among Wikipedians is palpable; and the desire for WMF engineering careerists...

Re: How would you briefly describe/label Wikipedia's political structure?

Jimmy Wales said it himself "1000 people who all know each other" run the site It's something like an Oligarchy, is my opinion, although they do have pseudo-elections designed for unofficial insiders every once in a while. Bureaucrats determine adminship, are not bound to votes, and accept input fr...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"

Baby steps, baby steps. They've had TWENTY-THREE YEARS of "baby steps". The toddler is old enough to VOTE and BUY LIQUOR in all 50 US states.

...as for "calm and rational discussion"........numerous people have tried that, over and over, since 2004. Such things don't work with a "cultic network" like Wikipedia. They are too busy fighting stupid wars and knifing people in the back to seriously engage in "rational discussion". Baby steps, ...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"

This is why it pays to keep abreast of what is going on at Wikipedia. Who is doing what and why. Expertise has value. Information is power. This is why so called critics keep banning me, then regretting their decision, once they look around at the meagre pickings on offer when I'm not around. The s...

Re: Average Wikipediocrazy "discussion"

...Now everyone knows Zoloft has "better things to do" than answer his critics. And we can see those better things were to be a good little Wikipedian . All for his forum's current very important matter, this thread , where Yngvadottir, rnu, Elinruby, Zoloft, are all looking happy and engaged. But ...
