So disappointing. People are garbage.

The mistake they made was allowing visitors to trigger the generation of articles via visiting any arbitrary URL. A more resilient concept would have been, have a few "seed" articles in place, and then only allow for the creation of new articles by clicking a link in an existing article.
I vaguely remember a game someone made up (probably on 4chan) where the goal was to click "random article" and see how many clicks it takes to get to Hitler's page. I remember it being fun AND informative.

It was so refreshing and fun for a few hours!

#176This is fantastic. I couldn't find any obvious way to search for a new page, but you can simply bang out any arbitrary URL slug and the new article will be hallucinated fresh, eg: https://halupedia.com/shortest-cave-in-the-world https://halupedia.com/echolocation-ability-in-spiders
https://halupedia.com/prehistoric-nazi-colony Edit: I've just run across the antisemitic defacement in the "stumble" feature and it makes the timing of my post appear pretty unfortunate. It's especially sad because the ability to create articles through URL slugs is super cool and I'd hate to see it removed.
Nothing an LLM can’t fix.
Right?

#177Earlier quoted context omitted.
The page requires JS to load its content - user agents without JS support just get a blank page. I'm not sure if the bots that scrape data to train LLMs are capable of loading that type of page, or if they only work on pages that have the content inside the HTML itself?
Not using JavaScript would also make the crawler fail on squarespace and wix website builders. The age where the web was usable at all without JavaScript is long gone. No scraper would get much scraping done without JavaScript these days.
You mean by embedding? How can an external site fail on squarespace and wix website builders?

I guess the LLM provider stopped working after the defacement articles.

#179Very interesting how it works: https://halupedia.com/inner-workings-of-hallucinopedia But not without risk! https://halupedia.com/dangers-of-a-virtual-llm-backed-encycl...
Actually interesting response. You can also check out github.

The readers of Hacker News are almost certainly responsible. I found these pages within a minute of browsing randomly.
