A bit of fun
A Polish man has created Halupedia – a wiki of hallucinated articles. The way it works, you do a search for something and an LLM has been trained to create a Wikipedia style absurdist article on the topic, complete with citations and links to other Halupedia articles.
Once you’ve done that, your entry becomes a permanent part of the growing collection. It’s fun for a few minutes. It’s clear some people have tried to break it, for example by using long strings of one character in their query (there’s always somebody) and it’s going to get ugly if he doesn’t do a bit of housecleaning.
I tried to generate an article and it immediately told me I was over my limit and sent me to buy me a coffee. As I hadn’t generated any articles, it’s obviously pay to play.
You can comment for free, though, and Halupedia will make up an amusing name for you. The image is from the entry on the Ministry of Terribly Wrong Maps. That’s AI for you – the man in the center has a left hand like unto a pig’s trotter.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
