Wikipedia has •numerous• problems, but it belongs in education.
And right now, per the McSweeney’s OP, it’s a lifeboat of humanity in a sea of slop.
For reference, snapshots of the two articles concerned at the time of this writing:

New work laptop. I don't want to sign it into my #Apple account for obvious reasons.
Connect my Apple trackpad to the new work machine and it works fine.
Try to reconnect the trackpad to my personal Mac so I can do some homelab stuff over the weekend, not so fine. It shows up in the BT menu, but won't actually connect until I have the laptop forget the device.
Ok, I think, I'll just connect it wired since I only use the trackpad at my desk at home anyway.
That doesn't work because why would you want to be able to plug in a device with a wire and have it Just Work when instead you could get to fuck around with Bluetooth.
And of course I get to do the forget device bullshit again in order to use it with my work laptop today

Upgraded my #Proxmox VE to the latest version without any issue.
By now I know it's pretty solid but I am always a bit nervous when I reboot the machine and I have to wait for it to come back online.

This museum brandishes Sardinia’s history of assassinations, thefts, and ambushes across the Gallura regions from the 16th to the 19th century.

Wer hätte gedacht, dass der 2. Weltkrieg nur ein missverstandenes Verhandlungsspiel war? JD Vance bringt neue Diplomatie-Formen ins Spiel, und Trump will Museen zum „schöner-Machen“ anweisen. Geschichtsklitterung deluxe in der Trump Reality-Show! Sarah Steffen hat das Chaos im Faktenchaos beobachtet.

Faktencheck: Schreibt die Trump-Regierung die Geschichte um?
Donald Trumps Vize JD Vance hat mit Äußerungen zum Zweiten Weltkrieg Kritik ausgelöst. Trump selbst ist mit diversen historischen Unwahrheiten aufgefallen - von Irak-Invasion bis Zölle - und will Museen zensieren.

Unser heutiger Tag in #Cremona stand ganz im Zeichen der #Violine. Das Violinmuseum ist sehr beeindruckend und zeigt viele wunderschöne Geigen, die auch regelmäßig gespielt werden. Und auch der Kirchturm des Doms, der #Torrazzo

The EBLM project XVI. Spin-orbit alignment of the low mass eclipsing binary EBLM J0021-16
Thousands of tight ($<1$ AU) main sequence binaries have been discovered, but it is uncertain how they formed. There is likely too much angular momentum in a collapsing, fragmenting protostellar cloud to form such binaries in situ, suggesting some post processing. One probe of a binary's dynamical history is the angle between the stellar spin and orbital axes -- its obliquity. The classical method for determining stellar obliquity is the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. It has been applied to over 1…

I suspect we’re doing something similar to the tank classifier when we ascribe intelligence to AIs: there are patterns such as (for example) grammatical correctness which we •associate• with this abstract thing called “intelligence,” and we thus mis-infer the existence of everything else we associate with the notion of “intelligence” when we see (for example) correct grammar.
Or should we just call the machine intelligent because we classify it as intelligence because our brains, which we assume are intelligent, think it fits the pattern of intelligence? And now you see what the OP means about “begging the question of intelligence.”
