Yeah, kind of disappointed. Thought there'd be a rule against it.

In March 2026, the English Wikipedia community prohibited the use of AI to add content to articles, with exceptions for copy editing and machine translation from another language's Wikipedia.

There seems to be a rule against AI "content" in the English wikipedia. And the taco article in English does not contain the image.

They should make this rule universal.

And I'm not sure I agree with the exception about translations unless it's reviewed by a human.

You mean suffer horribly in tiny cages and forced to pump out eggs at an unnatural rate and then slaughtered when they are deemed "spent".

And cage-free is a minority of the world egg production. And even cage-free has issues with quality of life.

Not to mention the billions of male chicks that are ground alive the day they hatch because they are useless.

And what's the solution? More AI!!

Hallucinated references are an area the publisher is “actively exploring,” added Chris Graf, research integrity director for Springer Nature. Last April, the publisher announced the launch of a new in-house AI tool to check submissions for irrelevant references.

I mean, wtf were they doing there? Like get some situational awareness for fucks sake.

Why are they strutting around as if looking for people to beat up in the middle of a large crowd during a snowball fight?

These cops need to be better trained.

I guess winning a gold medal doesn't stop you from being a loser.

What a bunch of losers. Completely tainted their victory with all this vile nonsense.

It's not a parking meter. It's one of those electronic paying stations (pay box). You can zoom in. It even says so.

Maybe don't use substack to promote your anti-hate message. They're literally profiting off Nazis.

Funchion said Sinn Féin continues to support the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine but the proposed €90 billion EU loan was “primarily for military expenditure”. This, she said, “undermines Ireland’s neutrality”.

Cowen described Sinn Féin’s neutrality argument as “flawed and cynical”, saying: “Supporting Ukraine is about upholding the right of a sovereign country to protect its civilians ... while drawing a clear moral line between defence and aggression. Neutrality was never meant to mean moral indifference.”

Doherty hit back, saying: “Ireland’s neutrality is not about moral indifference, nor does it prevent us from standing firmly against aggression or supporting victims of war. What it does mean is that Ireland does not participate in military alliances or in the financing of war.”

Yeah, Sinn Féin is totally wrong here. How are you "standing firmly" against aggression by standing by and doing nothing?

It's like seeing a bully beating on a weak victim and instead of handing the victim a bat to defend themselves you just wait until the victim is beaten then treat their wounds.
