Who gets a Wikipedia page?

Post by Lucifer »

I may be reviving an old rivalry, but come on. If this jackass gets a Wikipedia page, we all do.

Step up. We can't write them ourselves. It's spelled "Manuel Moos" and "Dave Fancella".

I would be happy to write one but I just can't find anything that meets Wikipedia reference standards. I went through their guidelines several years ago when my boss felt left out because other researchers at our institute had pages and he didn't. It was actually kinda hard to find enough valid references. If you can point me towards any news articles or interviews that mention you I'll write something up!

I don't participate in dick waggling contests, for fear of entanglement, obviously. Luke is a notable figure in Bitcoin, which hopefully* will be remembered as our second biggest complete waste of energy and computer hardware. Let him have that :)

(*) the hope being that we won't find even stupider grifts.

Now imagine in 5000 years your legacy is people read your wikipedia page stating you developed your own government-independent currency out of political and religious paranoia, indirectly helped all kinds of blackmarket weapons dealing, drugs and sex trafficking while being paid handsomely and being able to claim you have a reasonable distance to these "sinful" occupations, only to be robbed of a ridiculously high amount of your fortune a few years later and calling for government help. You're at best somewhere up there with this guy. I don't have a personal grievance with Luke but I wish the current wikipedia page got that irony across in a better way, because it mostly looks like commissional work.

I forgot to mention that this so-called AI (more accurate: plagiarism and abuse generating machine) is currently positioned to become the MOST useless waste of energy and resources. You may think from my previous posts that spot would be reserved to using heavy boxes of steel to move single people around the city, but that started as a good idea at the time and keeping to use horses would likely have been worse.
