The claim that an AI translation of an article will be just as simple and accurate as that. A "1:1 translation" misunderstands translation. Also, "AI" hardly "speaks all languages". Leaving aside unwritten languages, it depends on sufficient corpus to have anywhere a decent chance of making sense.

Likely, you end up with something that appears (for the uninformed) as accurate, but for any but the most represent languages online, is likely riddled with poor grammar or inappropriate Anglicized structure or vocabulary. At least the "Scots" wiki hoax articles had an intentionality behind them

I know there is a running joke about people starting a new project which will go nowhere and somebody says 'ill make the wiki' but this isn't even making the wiki.

I want to make sure I understand this: "greaterwrong" isn't actually deliberately taking the piss out of LessWrong; it just that it may appear that way? #Poe'sLaw

it's literally lesswrong, it's a frontend to LW with lower complexity that was started while LW was literally unusably slow

Huh, I had no idea. Well, now the article context makes more sense, thanks.

> Some problems > Most obviously, prompt injection. "Prompt injection" is quickly becoming to AI what MitM attacks are to crypto: a problem that advocates obsess over because it is technical and therefore engineerable. While ignoring all the actual problems the tech causes for humans in reality

I'm not reading all of this bullshit, is there going to be a pivot show where you pick the funny bits?

fuck no, the last vid about these bozos was 19 minutes

feeding Wikipedia through the "make it worse" machine to create a new, smaller, less accurate Wikipedia

and yes it will be costly

So close to getting it

This is the stupidest thing I've not finished reading in quite some time. Fucking deranged

I am now incapable of distinguishing parody anymore. You could tell me this was a good faith attempt and I'd believe you. Likewise, if I got to the end of the page and say "just kidding! This is a dumb idea!" I would nod and say "got me!"

the rationalists are reliably earnest and the worse the take, the more sincere

cc @molly.wiki a pain shared

beginning to think they may have a point

i mean, the next sentence is the real payoff

Extremely funny given that Wikipedia is functionally a bunch of dispute resolution mechanisms that has somehow made an encyclopedia

A great example of what Fred Brooks was arguing in No Silver Bullet in 1986. The complexity is the essence of the system!

Maybe you update the AI Wiki by just updating the real Wikipedia and waiting for the AI to steal it.
