Reading the Artemis II article on Wikipedia, I noticed the Wikipedia BabyGlobe spinning in space on the side.
Wonderful!

#TIL that there is this viral AI-generated video series called Fruit Love Island, and it’s apparently so viral that numerous outlets have written about it thereby making it nominally notable to have its own #Wikipedia article. 😳

Yeesh. I tried to do an article merge on the Spanish #Wikipedia because it somehow ended up with duplicate articles on the same subject.
Obviously this is pretty hard to do because I barely understand #Spanish and I did the mistake of turning one page into a redirect which is apparently a no-no judg…

One typical use of AI coding assistants in my work right now: generating locator maps for Bolivian municipalities on #Wikipedia with Posit AI, R, sf package, and public data.
The process was not fast, but now I'm enjoying the power of code to churn out all 339 of these.

No more donations to Wikipedia until their entire staff is unionized then. Ideally also the management fired.
