after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...
“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”
Also on today's podcast, @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social goes in on Zuckerberg's failed Metaverse and its comparisons to AI. Yes, AI may stick around but it's probably not going to take all our jobs, kill the artists, and be used for reasons Big Tech wants us to believe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=79SI...

Thanks a lot for the interview @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social! While AI has its place for specialized tools, this will be a breath of fresh air for an overwhelmed community! And my biggest hope:
