@yoasif @quarknova The thread you replied into is about successfully getting a no-slop policy adopted.
@dalias @quarknova How is slop inserted into Wikipedia?

My genuine hope is that this can spark a broader change. Empower communities on other platforms, and see this become a grassroots movement of users deciding whether AI should be welcome in their communities, and to what extent. On their own terms.
A pushback against the #enshittification and forceful push of AI by so many companies in these last few years.
I completely agree. This is not just excellent news for en.Wikipedia, it's also a symbol of holding to a high intellectual standard for other communities, many who are tempted by #TyrannyOfConvenience arguments.

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

@quarknova Thank you - I had no idea this was happening and absolutely would have argued against AI slop on such an important and prominent source of information.

@quarknova I think that unfortunately, this policy is exactly what big tech wants - fresh training knowledge and training data from humans, which the tech companies are free to remix into new public domain works that are not protected by share-alike.
With this policy, Wikipedia demands that humans work for the bots for free, and the humans can't even take advantage of the bots to work against the theft of the commons.
@yoasif @quarknova man, screw the big tech, can we decide independently in what they want and do and exploit? This is about creating good wiki for humans.

Hi @garyseven, #Welcome to the community!

I thought the middle one was the most interesting — it’s pre-1927, made with a sharpened nail for the barb instead of a sliver of bone (as became common), was likely made by, sized for, and used by someone just a bit bigger than I am (see the linked article, above), and is beautifully carved with an octopus and two otters — you can see photos of it online:

Was asked today, as an icebreaker, to share what I was currently obsessed with.
My answer: The design and function of these wooden (Pacific) halibut hooks that have used by the communities of the northwest coast of the US for thousands of years: https://hakaimagazine.com/features/the-halibut-hook-revival/
I went to see these examples, from the Haida, at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, yesterday.

Tony Hoare passed away.
This quote has stuck with me since I first read it as a teen. It sparked a decade-long obsession with simplicity later expanded by Rich Hickey's Simple vs Easy.
"I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies" https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/C._A._R._Hoare#The_Emperor's_Old_Clothes
