Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I finally steeled myself to look at the page history. After dgerard commented about it, someone else tagged the article for additional problems:
Then a third editor added a section ... made of LLM bullshit.
I'd probably be exaggerating if I said that every time I looked under the hood of Wikipedia, it reaffirmed how I don't have the temperament to edit there. But I wouldn't be exaggerating by much. It's enough of a hassle to agree upon text in a paper co-authored with a colleague I know personally and like. Dealing with posers whose ego pays them by the word... Ugh.
The lesswrongers hate dgerad's Wikipedia work because they perceive it as calling them out, but if anything Wikipedia's norms makes his "call outs" downright gentle and routine.
