  • They’re struggling because they’re not learning, or learning how to learn.

    LLM outputs aren’t reliable. Using one for your research is doing the exact opposite of the steps that are required to make good decisions.

    The prerequisite to making a good decision is learning the information relevant to the decision, then you use that information to determine your options and likely outcomes of those paths. The internalization of the problem space is fundamental to the process. You need to actually understand the space you’re making a decision about in order to make a good decision. The effort is the point.







  • It sets an absolutely obscene precedent that a government can globally restrict information. Even global terrible actors like Russia and China haven’t succeeded at that.

    Yes, that precedent is 1000 orders of magnitude more harm than India losing access (which they won’t, because the entirety of Wikipedia is open source and would be mirrored in the country instantly. But even if they actually would, it is literally impossible to get anywhere near the harm of the precedent this sets).




  • No, I have no interest in digging through their history. But it’s less than trivial to do. Any random no name site can do it in 5 minutes with any source of the geo-mapping information, with virtually no knowledge required. It is not work.

    GDPR can do literally nothing but block any site that doesn’t have finances under their jurisdiction, and they shouldn’t be able to. No one else will enforce their fines for them. It’s no different than Russia fining Google more money than exists. You can’t just magically rob someone because you’re a country.


  • Yes, they do. They’ve done it in the past.

    It literally doesn’t matter what Indian courts rule. Being banned from India is orders and orders of magnitude more acceptable than blocking a single article anywhere else on the planet. It single handedly eliminates all of their credibility.

    India isn’t capable of enforcing fines against an organization that doesn’t operate in their country and there’s no chance a US court will enforce such an unhinged judgement. They can’t be forced to pay.
