Getting emotionally worked up about stuff happening on Wikipedia and with your contributions is a thing you should avoid. Wikipedia has parts and aspects that brink on the random, recognizably driven by ego, ignorance and some mild state of perpetual edit-war. I still occasionally contribute a litte but make a point of not caring to much about what happens with that info.

If there is a fact that I need to be out there in the public, I post it on my own website. Problem solved.

Other than that people shouldn't forget that the internet - Wikipedia or anything else - is a virtual Mad Max Fury Road where you best keep your head low and use a nice bouquet of throw-away spoof accounts to get around and do things. Especially in spaces run by entities or megacorps that are totally beyond your control. As I guess every IT expert here will agree.

Comment I'm moving out of IT because of this. (Score 1) 89

It's simple logic. I can't provide real value-add as a regular developer or IT expert anymore. AI is good enough in most cases. At the same time we're experiencing a demographic collapse. This means that people are becoming more valuable, not less. The Nash equilibrium of a society banking on this sort of automation is somewhere beyond a fertility crisis and the collapse of culture. The only winning move is to exit the industry, I'm not needed here anymore. I'm currently looking for ways to go back closer to performing arts that I did in the 90ies using my extensive IT skills as a cultural technique rather than a job.
