Boomers and GenXers wasted all their paranoia about the internet on the early and mostly harmless version. Now that it’s gotten way more dangerous they’ve all acclimated to the background radiation and they don’t have any fucks left to give about it.
i was watching hackers last night and 1995 matthew lillard was talking about how many computers your name goes through a day and i was like oh you innocent babes
I use that shit for technical topics all the time and I've known academics editing shit for correctness. It's the best. The idea that some fuckin dude at wherever Britannica or whatever was printed knew exactly what he was talking about like lol ok Brenda.
i was always told “don’t you dare even think about opening up that website” lol but i think i was the first out of my friends to notice the reference section and after that it was smooth sailing as long as we didn’t say we found a source through wikipedia 😂
I used it to know what else to look up. It was never a reference to be quoted, but it gave me ideas on what to add to my research list. But I used campus libraries for that part.
The thing about Ai the general public needs to understand is that the ruling class plans to destroy & steal everything. including public schools which they will replace with Ai run children warehouses - think pre school with Ai for kids too young to work

Only one of the six books appeared to be real (but with a non-existent author). Only two of the six authors it named were real.
ugh. To be back in a sim0ler time.
When I was in HS we had printed reference materiel that was at least years out of date
I remember educators freaking out about wikipedia, and being mostly wrong
Can't help but think that helped set up our current Regurgitative AI situation
