- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 1 week ago:
He’s talking about the fact that for over a decade south Park played a significant part in fueling climate change skepticism with Al Gore screaming “manbearpig guys I’m super cereal” only for the creators to later admit that yeah they were actually super wrong about climate change and it is a serious issue. That’s why they made manbearpig real and had it start killing people, but that doesn’t erase the influence that they’ve already had on people. It’d be like if they had a TV show calling aids fake and gay for the first few years of the aids crisis and then only changed their tune once it started affecting people they know.
Claiming that anyone who rightfully criticizes their handling of climate change as being a purity testing twat with no understanding of comedy or satire is disingenuous and makes it obvious that you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about

- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 9 months ago:
I was following along when they initially announced it and while I personally think its an awful idea, it did seem to stem not from a profit motive but an intention to make Wikipedia easier to use and more effective, and when the vast majority of contributors and editors responded to tell Wikipedia that it was an atrocious idea and that they shouldn’t do it they listened and scrapped the plan.
My point being, isn’t it better as a whole that they’re willing to consider new things but will also listen to the feedback they get from their users and maintainers and choose not to implement ideas that are wildly unpopular?
Writing off all of Wikipedia (the most effective tool for collaborative knowledge collection in human history) just because they announced a well intentioned tool addition and then scrapped the plan when they realized it was unpopular and would likely degrade their platform seems short sighted at best imo.

Correct me if im wrong, but haven’t they since gone back on AI integration, and are no longer planning any, after backlash from their contributors?
