“Well-meaning” people are using machine translation to write Wikipedia articles in languages that they don’t speak themselves, accelerating the degeneration in quality of the web corpus for several languages with relatively few native speakers.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral
Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

Eine kompetente, unkontroverse und gesprächsbereite Frau musste sich zurückziehen, weil sich zu viele Unionsabgeordnete geweigert haben, mit ihr zu sprechen oder sich mit ihren tatsächlichen Positionen überhaupt auseinanderzusetzen. Und stattdessen bezahlte Lügen glauben wollten.

Strategisch clever, wie die wenigen noch gemäßigten, sozial-liberalen Stimmen in der Union aufgebrachte DemokratInnen und VerfassungspatriotInnen mit "Wir müssen zusammenhalten"-Rhetorik einlullen, während die wahren Handelnden der Union die Republik zersägen und Richtung Autoritarismus umbauen.

One of the reasons the old White Wolf books had so many emdashes is that it was an easy punctuation mark to input specifically on Macs and we were a Mac studio. Also, there’s a ton of stolen WW material in numerous LLMs, so we’re a non-zero portion of why genslop uses emdashes — they train on it.

Anyway: our notion of "indie" is a moving target, an era-specific cultural construct born of media discourse that *really* just means "creator-owned-and-published." Mainstream expectations about what subcultures should and shouldn't do -- and how they ought to look -- sure are weird though, huh?
