Worth reading article about the possible effect of (AI) bots on Wikipedia: https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asi.24975 /via @wikiresearch@mastodon.social — In summary, as more LLM (chat)bots are being used instead of reading the Wikipedia, potential and existing editors may be less prone to contributing on it since less value is assigned to that public resource.
Summing up with the fact that editing bots could discourage editor contribution, this could lead to a stagnation of the platform (fewer and less trustable updates).
NOTE: since LLMs are fed with Wikipedia content, they could also end up being affected.
As a last remark, the article speculates how to counteract this decay with editor incentives on public knowledge platforms such as Wikipedia. They suggest exploring micromonetization.
Personal remark: could improving the perceived social capital of contributors (e.g., via stressing badges in users' profiles) help? Social networks started capturing this social capital from more knowledge-rich and open websites (and from 'the real world') even before bots began thriving…
Last Thursday, thanks to @BCNFreeSoftware@fosstodon.org , I had the chance to know more about @servo@floss.social engine. Martin Robinson ( working at @igalia@floss.social ) explained succinctly web browser's history, why browser diversity matters, what @rust@social.rust-lang.org provides in its development, its modular architecture and plans for #Servo.

Hi ha articles clau en més d'una vintena de Viquipèdies en altres idiomes, però encara absents en català. Ajuda'ns a reduir aquesta llista i a tenir-los també presents i amb una qualitat digna en la nostra llengua!

This week I discussed with a group of direct colleagues to move our appgroup from Whatsapp to Signal. We are now already over and using it. This was actually very simple. Just create a new group in Signal and from there you can share a ''grouplink'. It offers the possibility to share it through another app. That way you can share the invite in your old Whatsapp group. That's it. No need to approach indiviuals separately.

🔄 Dins del procés de millora constant que fem a Softcatalà, durant els últims anys hem treballat per a actualitzar el nostre Codi de Conducta.
Són unes directrius per a fer que la convivència dins de la nostra comunitat resulte tan sana, segura i inclusiva com siga possible ❤️.
Entre altres millores, hem definit quins comportaments considerem intolerables, com es poden denunciar violacions del Codi i com gestionem aquestes denúncies ✅.

#Suiza🇨🇭 no tiene jefe del Estado ni de Gobierno. El poder ejecutivo reside en un Consejo Federal de siete miembros. El Consejo tiene un presidente, ‘primus inter pares’, que rota cada año entre todos los miembros del Consejo.
Es por eso que la foto oficial, que se cuelga en las oficinas públicas, aparecen los siete miembros del Consejo más el Canciller Federal, que actúa de secretario y tiene voz pero no voto. Y, desde hace años, son sorprendentemente creativas.
