A group of Wikipedia editors have formed WikiProject AI Cleanup, “a collaboration to combat the increasing problem of unsourced, poorly-written AI-generated content on Wikipedia.” The group’s goal is to protect one of the world’s largest repositories of information from the same kind of misleading AI-generated information that has plagued Google search results, books sold on Amazon, and academic journals. “A few of us had noticed the prevalence of unnatural writing that showed clear signs of being AI-generated, and we managed to replicate similar ‘styles’ using ChatGPT,” Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of WikiProject AI Cleanup, told me in an email. “Discovering some common AI catchphrases allowed us to quickly spot some of the most egregious examples of generated articles, which we quickly wanted to formalize into an organized project to compile our findings and techniques.”

So, um.
I may be starting to get a weeeee bit annoyed with people on the r/Hermitcraft subreddit.
Like, when I made the meme that is still getting an insane amount of notes (holy crap thank you so much I am super flattered), it was understandable that people didn't know what it was in reference to. I went, "ah, probably should have linked Cleo's vid!" and lived and learned, you know?
But Cleo's video has been out for a week. It's only twenty minutes long, and the moment when they and Grian meet up is five minutes into the video.
And like. Grian seems to really want people to see his friends' videos? Like when Gem's snail arrived, he deliberately left that plot thread dangling to be answered in Gem's video. The guy has made an eight hour video showing off the other Hermits' bases. I also highly suspect that one reason Grian is one of the last people to upload collab videos he's in is because his higher subscriber count means his video will automatically racket up to the top of the recommended page, and he wants his friends' videos to get a head start on him.
So the fact that there's this significant amount of Grian fans who won't even watch five minutes of someone else's video to get an answer that Grian left hanging is ... it's just super disappointing, ngl.
And just. Don't even get me started on that "continuity error" comment. I actually had a pretty long response to that on reddit. TL;DR: it's not a continuity error because there's perfect continuity as long as you watch Cleo's video.
Grian does not have to fill in the gaps, that's not his responsibility, nor should it be. The point of a series like Hermitcraft is that you get multiple perspectives. If you're upset that one perspective doesn't show everything, then you shouldn't be watching SMPs.
#Yeah#I mean I've watched all of Cleo's s10 so I knew what was going on with her#but if I've seen smth new mentioned and I don't know about it#I usually try to find the newest Hermitcraft video that may contain the answer#I don't always watch Skizz's videos but I watched his today because someone said the bunker location was revealed#and low and beyold it was

Anonymous asked:
do you have any favorite hermitcraft fics i feel like you'd have some really good recs
Anon I hope I can help you, but please understand I mostly read life series fics and almost exclusively if they include Scar, so like most are scarian. (All relationship tags are in order of the most to least relevant imo)
A Trick Too Accidental to Name (link)
Relationships: Grian & Scar (mostly, Pearl is also there)
Status: Complete
Word Count: 19k
Basically, the Watchers think Scar is a devious little guy and they are spying on him and it's mega creeping him out. He also can't get a straight answer from Grian abt wtf is happening. Takes place Season 8. If you like this you should also check out Ad Astra (link) although that leans more life series imo
In Sickness and in Health (link)
Relationships: Grian/Scar
Status: Complete
Word Count: 8k
I'm gonna throw up just thinking about this fic. Basically Scar was kidnapped cuz Grian's a superhero and they needed to get to him, but it follows their recovery and the rebirth of the relationship following such a traumatic event. REALLY good. Please read it.
THE DIVORCE OF THE CENTURY (link)
Relationships: Grian/Scar (bg Etho/Bdubs)
Status: Complete
Word Count: 7k
If you are ever in the mood for a silly fic this is THE silly fic. It's treated a bit like crack and somehow that's what keeps everything feeling so in character. Genuinely such a delight. Oh uh also the plot is Scar and Grian get divorced. Kinda.
Lodestones (link)
Relationships: Grian/Scar, Scar & Bdubs

I think this is the best hermitcraft/life series superhero fic. And I went through a phase where I read a LOT of them. This fic is pretty slow on updates atm, (a few months in between at least) but there are updates!! And it is SO worth it!! As the author puts it "Scar saves the city’s most dangerous criminal, makes him his roommate, falls in love with him, and then also saves the world with him. In that order, with various setbacks along the way"
someone loved, never known (link)
Relationships: Pearl & Scar, Pearl & Grian, Pearl/Gem, Grian/Scar (also like, every single Hermit makes an appearance)

This fic has SO much to talk about. First of all, the premise is that Pearl has been grieving the loss someone she cannot remember (its Grian), and then she meets Scar and he is also experiencing it. So it mostly focuses on Pearl and Scar building their relationship as they try to discover who is missing from their lives and why. The relationship dynamics in this fic are SO good!!! I cannot stress that enough. I don't want to overwhelm the relationships bit because I'm trying to highlight the most important ones, but Pearl's dynamic with Impulse as well as Tango and Etho is really well done! And I'm struggling on where to place Gem/Pearl in terms of importance since it isn't super relevant to the premise, but it is such a good and natural relationship and uggggh you have to read this fic! As a Pearl & Scar lover is it to DIE for!
Five seems like a good number... so I'm gonna leave it there. I am always open to giving more recommendations and even more open to receiving recs!!
#I was actually looking for Scar centric fics so this is perfect#<-omg prev I have more!!#only two of these are Scar povs#the 1st and 4th#but the others are focussed enough on Scar and/or his relationships with people I think it's fair to call them all Scar centrix#except maybe the last which is heavily focussed on Pearl
Captain America knows what’s good.
STAY WOKE
This is the Captain America we need in 2017.
Let’s hear Cap’s entire speech:
“Listen to me– all of you out there! You were told by this man– your hero– that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people– that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was – how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!
“Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals– its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth! I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different than them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn American into nothing! And the only reason you’re not less then nothing– is that it’s still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!”
