Generative AI is literally destroying knowledge
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

So happy to have reached The Citadel and the gorgeous Choral Chambers. What a palette cleanser and the music is epic. 🩷 (I went via sinners road due the judge's boss walk.) A true reward for persisting! I also just beat the Cogwork Dancers which broke my heart. This game, everyone #silksong
