Why did you post this Wikipedia entry?

Do you use AI or something to submit random stuff? Do you have other accounts or bots to upvote your submissions?

Is this an account to just submit fluff to fill in the gaps, like how reddit was bootstrapped?

We lie to adults all the time for the same reason.
jauntywundrkind•1mo ago
I wish we could do more lie-to-children with computers. Just the idea of having be comprehensive explanatory models to give people, even if they are wrong, feels so so much better than each app having its own facade, a surface gloss that the user rarely has so much as opportunity to peer behind.

Watching promises & async arise so strongly in the broader programmer-sphere has been incredible (#ErlangWasThere all along but anyhow). I still consider it a bit of a mistake that the definition of a promise is regarded as a future value, when to me it so clearly first class entity, is an ongoing process which will eventually have a return value. But we still manage and juggle processes and work in incredible ways, that (Erlang aside) were so unimaginable. If we could show that off more, if we could expand observability from an operator concern to a readily available co-partner, I think there's such interesting hopeful ways that we could let people in to computing. Some lies and fudging to let people feel a little better about what has largely been black boxes would go a long way.

Especially now with AI, where it's so unclear to all what we are really getting. Where's the systems of the world haven't even the pretense of being well reasoned, perhaps, but merely regurgitations by the blind eye, fakeness, suffusing and invading all reality about us: more than ever it's important that we make the technosystems of the world elaborate themselves, with some truth, and ideally with some higher level lies that wrap deeper machinations. Like nature, a glory of being able to ever zoom in, or blast off & look down.
