Those gaslighting fuckers, I KNEW IT!!!

Was on #wikipedia. Got a survey, apparent the Wikipedia company wants to force #AI summaries into wikipedia articles, even though most wikipedia articles already have summaries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section

And people still pay money for this steaming pile of garbage?

No Adobe, there will be *no time ever* in which I will open a document in Acrobat Pro and want an AI summary rather than reading it. The entire point of opening is to read it, not your guess of what it says.

Some homelinks systems only support 390, some both...

It's getting proper #enshitification levels if you are not careful.

Per usual @pluralistic nails it.
