Yeah, this article seems like an anti-Wikipedia article. They’re just using it for translation, spelling errors, content quality, etc.

Wikipedia’s model of collective knowledge generation has demonstrated its ability to create verifiable and neutral encyclopedic knowledge. The Wikipedian community and WMF have long used AI to support the work of volunteers while centering the role of the human. Today we use AI to support editors to detect vandalism on all Wikipedia sites, translate content for readers, predict article quality, quantify the readability of articles, suggest edits to volunteers, and beyond. We have done so following Wikipedia’s values around community governance, transparency, support of human rights, open source, and others. That said, we have modestly applied AI to the editing experience when opportunities or technology presented itself. However, we have not undertaken a concerted effort to improve the editing experience of volunteers with AI, as we have chosen not to prioritize it over other opportunities.

Not going to lie, I kind of love this.

Apple too, right?

You know, like any “free” app does. Wordpress can throttle who can see you as well. Unless you’re on world or similar, it’s pretty open on Lemmy.

I really like this idea. Being able to have a blog that directly feeds into Lemmy sounds great since Lemmy doesn’t really speak to a lot of other apps.

Do you mean like Wordpress? The upselling and throttling alone. I haven’t used it in years, maybe it’s better?

That makes your warranty expire faster. It’s not in the users favor.

I saw an ad for Amazon telehealth a couple of weeks ago. I’m not digging the times we’re in. I also hope we don’t look back on this time with nostalgia.

In March 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched an AI-fueled “Catch and Revoke” effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups. This program relies on the AI to scrape people’s social media to revoke visa applications of people who have been protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. As of early April 2025, at least 600 people have apparently had their visas revoked because of this AI monitoring, a massive incursion into people’s right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest.

The speed with which social media monitoring is growing is staggering. As of March 2025, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has been working with web-scraping contractor ShadowDragon to pull data from over 200 different sites, social networks, apps, and services across the web to map out a person’s activity, movements, and relationships.

The other broligarchs looked around Zuck’s bunker and couldn’t understand how it had gotten this bad. The expressions on their faces, one by one, changed to horror realizing that this is what they signed up for.

No problem. they are great currently.

The UI was pretty bad before, it took forever to get people to understand what was going on. Now it’s just a few tips and tricks and people are off and running. They did a great job.

Blender did an amazing job with their overhaul. I really don’t know why anyone would use anything else for 3d modeling. I’m hoping they pump up their CAD features, but I understand if they don’t.

Yep, and then everyone will go start looking for another option again. I hope they don’t, but those CEOs got get their more millions paychecks so they can stand up straight at the country club, somehow.

FYI, Affinity was bought by Canva, this is probably an advertising. Affinity will probably enshitify in the next release. Hopefully not, but who knows.

I’d say it’s more like a right that’s been taken away and they’re okay with that.

For me, I temp ban because it makes it more easy to do. I don’t wrestle with whether or not I’m doing the right thing. Instead, I know it’s only temp so no one was harmed if I make a mistake. It’s more for me to take out the trolls early on.

Temp bans (a couple of days), work too. If they’re actually trolling, they usually won’t come back. Then just temp ban the next alt if they do, repeat.

Reddit Executive Suite (RES) was amazing for that. I’ve been gone so long that I’m not sure it works anymore.
