The 'all articles' section really is a dive into what happens when you allow unfiltered posting - it's a shame that it isn't clear how many individuals are creating this hateful and otherwise inappropriate titles - is it just 1 or 2 people, or has this been posted to 4chan or somewhere and there is a concerted effort to disrupt the site? Shame there isn't a way to flag pages for removal. I was going to point my kids…

Interesting idea with flagging. We are considering 2 options: 1. You can generate aricle only if it was previously referenced in previous one 2. Flagging mechanism, now that you brought it up. Let me know what you think!

Perhaps option 1 will be more resilient.

It could be complemented by a "Create" page for starting a new article, filtering bad titles and using a captcha to limit the vandals.

And another captcha for comment posting, which is already spammed, unfortunately.

I think a flagging mechanism will not be able to keep up with mass defacement.

Another suggestion: a daily dump of article titles, their connectivity and creation dates. I would love to visualize the underlying graph and its growth.

Thank you for such nice site!

It is telling that this piece of art (yes, it is art, and it is fun) is getting defaced by actual people, some metaphorically spraying the "fuck this AI slop" grafitti.

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.

That would be a play on six degrees of kevin bacon [0], which spawned at least six degrees of wikipedia [1] and wikirace [2].

Reposting my comment from further up in the tread here:

I've seen these antisemitic slurs in the alphabetically sorted entries under numbers starting with 0, next to statementss like this is AI slop.

Hypothesis: this is a targeted, scrupulous and agenticly orchestrated attempt to mark this as a potential "poison well" on behalf of some uncultured, technofeudocratic interests, that hate the arts and hauntology in the spirit of Jorge Luis Borges[1].

The use of antisemitic slurs shares kinship with the "explain in a gay voice" jailbreak. [0] It tries to stigmatise a project rich in artistical potential, to protect the own financial intetests and attempts to transform all human knowledgeworkers into a surplus lumpenproletariat.

Its similar to producers of pharmaceutical generica giving themselvess names with `0` or `a` in the beginning to be shown as first entries in the alphanumerically sorted listings of generics, pharmacies can supplement as cheaper options on doctors perscription (pharmacist in germany told me about the phenomenon)

Proposal: Ministry of not quite accurate maps has to be metainstantiated in regard of checking that the construction of a map of the territrorry of the non speculative and absoluetly factual thought of the encylopedia is not intoxicated by artefacts that take the formal consistency of the highly speculative and non factual discourse emanating in the like of reddit/tiktok/hackernews

‐--------- Being referred to in a previous article goes into the proposed direction. But I think what id also necessary is to cjeck for a certain asthetic quality of posts that disallows these attacks. Entries need to conform with the "guidelines" of the minustry of almost accurate maps (of the territory of borges library) - having a rich semantic structure that osscilates between a certain knowledge of concepts and and domain knowledge (e.g. about frequency modulation in birds voval chords) and phantasy: i.e. has an actually FACTUAL structure en contraire to what is happening on discourse such as on this site, kno`n say'n?

So not checking if it appears in a previous entrance, but developi g a higherdimensional metric in the sense of Sparse Auto Encoders, that represents the quality of that. The vandalism of some factual people (I like that expression) wouldn't conform with that. It should also have a certain ingenuity and must absoluetly be a protected secret of the monistry, because if the malicous nature, of this would somehow morph into the realm of the pedia that would be supertoxic i guess

Funny, but you could argue this is actively harmful to the web.

Interesting, but you could argue comments like this are actively harmful to the web.

withe the addition of asking to consider that being harmful to the web is the ethical thing, that is what the argument of op was

Noticed it kept using the term 'resonator' or 'resonance', decided to navigate to a page for 'resonance cascade' as a joke, and discovered this fantastically broken article: https://halupedia.com/resonance-cascade

I’ve seen this `">` in various articles. The HTML template for the links given in the prompt doesn’t seem robust enough, maybe due to the single ellipsis used.
