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

We went to sleep and woke up with no credits on lmm provider :( Vurrently working on that
It's working now and I have to say I love this. The whole project is whimsical and gives me a strong SCP vibe but (sometimes) without the creepypasta aspect. I was very pleased to see that articles generated from links retain the context of the page that created the link - and even refer back to the original page. For example, the article from my original comment: https://halupedia.com/the-alien-wizard-war-of-1425 me…
Confusingly, both articles do indeed mention each other for me.

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!
Seems like something the ai could help you with - ask it in the prompt to return an error if the submitted article title doesn’t seem like a whimsical fake encyclopedia article title

#214The model seems to have an unhealthy obsession with fungi: https://halupedia.com/alan-turing Which I guess makes some sense for a hallucinopedia.
Probably because this is in the prompt:
> Invent everything. REAL-WORLD FACTS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. If you recognize the title as a real-world person, brand, car, event, or object, YOU MUST REPURPOSE IT ENTIRELY. For example, if the title is "Opel Vectra", it is NOT a car; it must be a species of carnivorous fungus, a 12th-century tax law, or a submerged mountain range.

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.
Its amazing I clicked stumble once and got an "06 fuck Jews and Islamists", humanity is truly a marvel.
My first three stumbles were:

#216Was curious about the prompt –& especially if it referenced Borges – and found in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BaderBC/halupedia/614eefee... >: > export const SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are the sole author of Hallucinopedia, an encyclopedia of things that do not exist. You write encyclopedia articles in a deadpan, matter-of-fact tone — the exact register of Wikipedia — but the subject matter itself is silly, absurd, p…
If you have idea how to improve it, I'm all ears ;)
Re: Show HN: Hallucinopedia
#217I made an SCP foundation inspired page: https://halupedia.com/hard-to-detroy-reptile My favorite link generated there is the Institute for Unyielding Biology: https://halupedia.com/institute-for-unyielding-biology
there's a typo in your first title
Oops!
Apparently I can’t edit it in order to fix it. It’s only the link above, though — the original article I generated was spelled correctly.
Re: Show HN: Hallucinopedia
#218kinda cool but kinda lame, no overall consistency over articles
Used to be a problem - now consistent for new articles ;)
Re: Show HN: Hallucinopedia
#219This 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

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

Just added comment section :)
Cool! I'm curious about the design. Maybe you have a "how I did it" post coming soon, or something. One question: Did you find away to get some convergence, where a newly generated page will tend to cite pages (or stubs, at least) that already exist in the universe? Seems hard to do it with generated text, but not impossible.
It is instructed to reference A LOT of articles. It just hallucinates all the url. If the url points to already existing article - it's just a coincidence
