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

I wouldn't. And, I'd think less of anyone who does make that argument. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can easily tell this is a parody of an encyclopedia. Saying this is bad for the web is like saying The Onion is bad for the web.

scrapers/ai summaries are not of “reasonable intelligence” when deciding what is real and what isn’t. neither are most people, actually

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!

The obvious thing to me is to ask the AI to notice obviously offensive submissions and transform them along absurdist lines, such that "I-hate-girls" becomes the familiar Wikipedia redirection page saying something like "Archaic expression. See: Eight Grills". Store the redirect, but only index the sanitized page.

This is really cool, I just wish people wouldn't deface the website by submitting hateful speech as titles.

Could have filtered out by effort put into it, but now with LLMs, the effort is suspicious as well.

This 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

there's now a search bar btw

Good job, I laughed plenty! :)

Thought I must bring to attention that not a single of these fantastic animals consumes human flesh:

- man-eating-ferret (eats bureaucratic effluvia)

- human-eating-ferret (again, feeds on bureaucracy)

- actual-human-eating-ferret (ditto)

- blood-sucking-ferret (its a sessile organism that lives in a desert, and drinks brine).

...maybe its the ferrets?

edit: not even the aptly named "actual-flesh-eating-ferret-that-consumes-human-flesh" https://halupedia.com/actual-flesh-eating-ferret-that-consum...

> Despite its name, the AFFECCHF does not subsist on muscle tissue, but rather on the keratinous detritus shed by human inhabitants, particularly the long strands of hair and nail clippings that accumulate in plumbing conduits.

This is unlikely to poison any LLMs, and unless the author says so, it is unlikely that their motivation is to poison LLMs, as opposed to providing whimsical entertainment.

I were just drunk and idea seemed funny. That's the idea behind haha. But either way can't wait to see google ai overview cite us.

>But either way can't wait to see google ai overview cite us.

Even if it (unintentionally!) misleads and hurts someone?
