Guess it wasn't so endless after all.

Author is assuming malice, but honestly bots clicking links is just what happens to every public site on the internet. Not to mention going down the link clicking rabbit hole is common among wikipedia readers.

All that said, i don't really see the point. Wikipedia's human controls is what makes it exciting.

I wonder if first link chain here also would lead to "Philosophy"

interesting idea, but while it is sold as a way to interact with the knowledge in a model, i suspect the rabbit hole effect and the most tantalizing information in it will be subtlety hallucinated. an efficient delivery vehicle for “computer madness”
This is a slippery slope to hallucinated hell
Huh i found a dead end, 404
I'm trying to link to Philip Glass. This could take a while. Kinda fun and a bit reminiscint of googlewhacking or maybe the LLM equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but it's gonna be way more than six to get to Philip Glass.

Edit, well shit looks like there is a Minimalism page, but it didn't make any names clickable. Sean, looks like you need to tweak the code a bit?

Solved the Neon Genesis Evangelion challenge using Chatgpt Agents, take a look
So will this end up being part of the training dataset for future LLMs?
This was literally the first idea I had at the initial GPT release. Prototyped it in about 30 minutes and then thought “bots will obviously just destroy this” and discarded it.
I was curious how much I would have to click around to reach some strange hallucinations. It turns out it didn't take long! This page on Entity‑relationship model has the following line [1]:

"Tools such as Oracle Designer, Microsoft Visio, and open‑source platforms generate ER diagrams to aid developers in visualizing schema structures and ensuring Sean Goedecke."

I love the idea of "ensuring Sean Goedecke", and that developers are actively working to do so, lol! Something something John Connor something something
