"Why would someone flood Wikipedia with BS / DDoS the Internet Archive"

Wikipedia & IA represent:

🔘 Knowledge;

🔘 Ontologies;

🔘 Ontological Methods.

When your bid for power rests on destroying history, science, government, journ*lism — and replacing them with authoritarianism —

This is fascinating and 404 has been amazing on this beat, but I keep coming back to is the question of why. You can make money putting Shrimp Jesii on Facebook. Why would a person use AI to generate fake shit for Wikipedia? It's not even a scam, you can't make money off it. It's just vandalism.

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Wikipedia is knowledge curated by an ontological method, representing an ontology.

IA is knowledge curated by millions of ontologies, representing a fragmentary collective history

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

The "protest" DDoS & breach of IA has all the hallmarks of terrorism, replete with a dichotomy of target(s) and victims, purporting to be advocating for a secondary target/shield, while ultimately being a vulgar display of power: "Do what we want, or we can & will destroy a / the digital commons"

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Flooding Wikipedia with AI BS is also ultimately a vulgar display of power: "Do what we want, or we can & will destroy a / the digital commons"

I'm not confident in calling it terrorism per se, but an aspect of a larger campaign that also uses terrorism. Submarine aspects of a terror campaign
