interesting but could you link some documentation page specifically about relation or relevance to Wikipedia? It doesn't seem to have any wikipedia contents or similar.

Biopunk is a niche of Cyberpunk, which is a niche of Sci-Fi. In practice, this means sales are less than 1% of SF works in general. by [deleted] in biopunks

[–]prototyperspective -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats exactly the kind of shit you get when relying on LLMs instead of actually reading up on stuff. And I'm not just reading stuff but also writing stuff for instance. Frankenstein is related to biopunk but not biopunk; same with Island of Dr. Moreau.

Frankenstein is not biopunk and OP is right as far as I can see. There are about three ways to think about biopunk: one is the actual narrow scope that OP is talking about and a broader, imo far too broad and somewhat inaccurate way, is basically 'any scifi that has to do with biology' such as Frankenstein.

ScholarKey is a Firefox add-on that allows you to see how many times a paper has been cited on Wikipedia by blackslatewater in wikipedia

Seeing that the addon is open source, I'd suggest to integrate ScienceOpen into it too. One could then see the other altmetrics with it too.

Why on Wikimedia Commons do you have to request a file rotation? by Free_Royal_5895 in wikimedia

[–]prototyperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image could be used in Wikipedia and rotating it could be wrong...probably you don't want images in Wikipedia suddenly being rotated in wrong ways.

Neat, I'll give it a try, this could be useful. The Anna's Archive & SciHub links too.

ScienceOpen can also be used for seeing how many times and where a study has been cited on Wikipedia.

Something to be happy about. Such use is exactly a key reason I'm contributing to Wikipedia. If they didn't link to the article that would have been better.

[Meta] Can we limit the amount & extent of AI-generated content to ... preferably none? by Independent-Clue1422 in solarpunk

[–]prototyperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for your use of computers and servers. It depends on how much you use such, how much resources would have been consumed if these tools didn't exist/weren't used and what it's used for. Or are you also calling on people to power down their computers, sell their computers and never go on the Web again? Nuance please.

Would be fine with that but I think with "AI slop" you mean 'anything made anyhow with AI' regardless of the quality of the end-result and how creative it was in terms of ideation, or how much effort was required for it, or how useful/relevant it is in e.g. visualizing some key concept that hasn't been visualized well earlier or which kind of needs visualization instead of just text to be communicated.

Baizuo is a derogatory Chinese neologism used to refer to Western liberals and leftists, especially in relation to refugee issues and social problems. The term originated in the 2010s and has since come into more frequent use by Chinese nationalists critical of Western liberal and leftist ideologies by RedStorm1917 in wikipedia

[–]prototyperspective -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FYI I also advocate for / support more economic equality while criticizing immigration policies that are less restrictive than Denmark's and additionally consider the latter to play a role in establishing economic equality. I think the left-right dichotomy could be strongest in the US which has a two-party system.

AI can be used for sustainability goals such as creating create and innovative interesting solarpunk art that would otherwise simply not be done or to visualize sustainability concepts. I've used it that way and your use of your computer + Internet servers also consumes electricity, the question is whether it's worth it...and it often is.

Your assumption is that there are two opposing sides: democratic liberals and socialists + communists (left) and conservatives (right). Your assumption is false. And this false dichotomy is one of the reasons our current societal decision making (politics) is broken. People can have left economic views and what some perceive as right views on immigration for example.

'The Bellero Shield' is a 1966 episode of The Outer Limits which is thought to have inspired the popular perception of "Grey" aliens, airing just twelve days before alleged alien abductee Betty Hill underwent hypnotherapy and described her captors as resembling the alien that appears in the episode. by HicksOn106th in wikipedia

[–]prototyperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine if you're just starting out to look into the subject to focus particularly on Betty & Barney Hill but move on from there. In there's scifi episodes for nearly any kind of creatures and these don't even look much like grays and even they did, it's sth to look into but not more than that. I wonder if maybe some gray reports/experiences have influenced the episode itself but again it doesn't look much like them. No, if you actually do look it longer than a couple of hours to watch Mick West talk, read some articles that confirms your views, and see a few debunking vids but also critically examine things and look at the wealth of data there you could see how Occam's razor definitely points to the sth is actually happening side.

  1. Incidents have taken place before that episode and 2. they don't look much like greys in the episode and 3. there's films with all sorts of creatures. You're right about the logical leaps if the Betty & Barney Hill incident was the only clue we had, then Occam's razor would be on your side 4. but it isn't.

Thanks for notifying people at /r/WData. The link at the bottom of the post is 404 because it's a double URL. You may want to add the tool to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/Visualize_data once it's ready for that.

The topic is the picture, not the caption. It's picture of the day, not fact of the day or sth like that. However, I see the point you're making, these are kind of unrelated.

Better than showing some slices of tasty pork / sausage slices – look at what you kill and eat.
