.....And they are going to find out the hard way how badly this version of AI will fail them. The Phony Comforts of AI Optimism There Is No AI Revolution And the "art" and text-barfing is the easy stuff; look at what a battle the self-driving car is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vaMlaugtBI https...

The truth about AI (at least the LLM version of it) is.....it's a giant waste of time. Ed Zitron has gone to excruciating detail in multiple articles explaining how ChatGPT , OpenAI and the rest are an endless money-sink producing products NOBODY (but scammers and lazy high school or college studen...

Go check out the worst wiki ever, Metapedia . Not just Holocaust denial, but an overbearing obsession with National Socialism and WWII, and related subjects. And NO "degenerate art". It's the Angry White Incel-O-Pedia. Not a "reference work" in any delusion. The primary, almost the ONLY, "Editor": ...

Cult slaves like Andrew Lih, Phoebe Ayers, and Lane Rasberry will probably die in the cult. And that's nuff said. Shades of the "boomers"* who slaved for Lyndon LaRouche's EIR (Execuitive Intelligence Review) magazine from the mid-1970s to the 2000s. Paid very little, probably living in crap apartm...

Well....be glad you're not following the Song of Ice and Fire series. First book hit the shelves in 1996. Ol' George Rail Road has STILL not finished book 6, even after twenty-nine years, plus TWO tv series based on the previous books. Or Wheel of Time, where Jordan was working on book 12 and dropp...

Still think you could, and should, write a book about "fringe" wikis like Metapedia, RW and Conservapedia. They don't seem to have enough money for libel suits. If Isaacson can put out a somewhat-honest book about Musk, you can write about the likes of Lagerström and Trent Toulouse. You already hav...

I'm talking about Wikiconference USA 2016 * , which I wrote about here . Kirill Lokhshin is gone, as is James "I ran away to Twitter, then something more corporate" Alexander.

I do agree with you it should be led by a non-partisan though, and that was a reasonable suggestion. Regardless, even though they are very partisan in talk pages, they allow differing views and angles maybe contrary to their own on politics, unlike Infogalactic/ Metapedia etc. Dunno how much long t...

I did appreciate when he finally blocked Sagecandor and, eventually, Cirt -- after one of his doubles wrote an entry reviewing The Big Butt Book . :dickbutt: This ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_Hanson ) is all that is left of any reference to The Big Butt Book . There is a dead link on the Di...
