I've just realised:

this reads just like a neoreactionary trying to be literary

e.g. the Dimes Square literary astroturf crowd

same problem as gen AI output: too much style, zero understanding of basic structure, you cannot get that fine detailed in structure and be that bad at the basics.

it's gonna be a massive disaster across the wider economy, and - and this is key - absolutely everyone saw this coming a year ago if not two

yeah, "Did you know" exists to encourage new articles, or major expansions of old ones. it cycles every six hours I think.

Wikipedia rules make more sense when you understand they are entirely to keep the most pedantic nerds on earth from fighting

This is specifically about the current shitty "AI Overview" that is currently and specifically pissing people off and Google essaying that as the only interface to search. (Sure they might not, but OTOH predicting future behaviour from past behaviour.)

That they did fucking terrible overviews in the past is not some sort of excuse for the current and specific issue with the current and specific AI Overviews.

wtf with calling hating this extremely hateworthy shit "uncanny-valley reactionism"

acronym-spouting rules lawyers who will crush dissent by a thousand duck nibbles

hey now, my duck nibbling is thoroughly weaponised

 

this is very self-serving ass covering from the rationalist sphere

there's a glaring hole in it: what precisely the break was between Ziz and her friends and the rest of the rationals. this isn't detailed.
