It's pretty fun to poke at! Although it's certainly difficult to be exact, it would be neat if generated pages used the context of the pages they were linked from (ideally, all pages that link to it) to guide the direction of the page. From the ones I generated it seemed they were mostly independent.

Update: Implemented it. All new articles work that way

That really improved things! Now each rabbithole goes deeper and deeper and deeper...

It’s been defaced. It’s already got sex crimes and antisemitism all over the place.

Just in the comments, right? That is where I see it. If I were the site owner I would just turn comments off. It was a cute idea when someone on HN suggested it, but without moderation open commenting becomes a cesspool in a hurry.

Took me two clicks of the "Stumble" functionality to hit unsavory stuff that someone clearly made on purpose.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Without the argument being explicit then there can be no retort to it, so closing your mind before hearing it demonstrates that the argument itself is irrelevant. One could thus conclude that the existence of a valid argument is not itself a condition for my question.

We also shouldn’t close our minds to the possibility of an eigen-retort, one which covers all possible arguments already made or argued in the future regarding the consequences of this website on the health of the Internet. Someone who is aware of the eigen-retort would therefore not need to hear the argument. Since I haven’t heard either the hypothetical argument or the hypothetical eigen-retort yet, I’ll withhold m…

I concede that the my question was loaded, but the assumptions behind it are grounded in practical experience. Regardless, I have not committed myself either to the existence of an argument, I just stated that its existence was not a condition for the validity of my question for SwellJoe. The statement which was made can mean a number of possible things, but we cannot know what unless the question is answered. So the existence of the retort is revealed by the question, and until that reveal we are limited to questions or assumptions.

What would you think of a person who said that they are already convinced that an opposing view could not be correct without even hearing the arguments for it?

I'm reasonably confident there is no argument that I would buy. I hate AI slop more than average, but this is not slop being injected into human places. This is a dedicated dumping ground for slop, paid for by the owner/instigator of said slop. I don't have to go there, and it's not trying to fool anyone and no one will be fooled by it. AI slop on a forum or social media or on facebook convincing boomers that a black…

That clarifies things much better than the original statement, but rejecting arguments you have conceived of which fail does not preclude the existence of those that do not, and thus the original question still remains.

Try clicking "Stumble" a few times...

Yeah I see that now. Also clicking on the all entries list shows pages of garbage. Just takes a few sucky people to ruin things.

Care to elaborate? https://halupedia.com/015-fuck-jews-and-islamists

Allow me. You can name an article anything you want, and the thing will generate content, though not necessarily relevant to the title you chose. So some vandal comes along and supplies a hateful title, et voila.

Well then this seems like the dumbest site ever...

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

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.
