Love it! It feels very Borges! Feature request: also be able to click on the Talk page to see the controversies. I don't always want to trust the article itself as the final word. Edit: Oh look, there's an article about the YC! https://halupedia.com/y-combinator https://halupedia.com/y-combinator

  Cool! I'm curious about the design. Maybe you have a "how I did it" post coming soon, or something. One question: Did you find away to get some convergence, where a newly generated page will tend to cite pages (or stubs, at least) that already exist in the universe? Seems hard to do it with generated text, but not impossible.

    It is instructed to reference A LOT of articles. It just hallucinates all the url. If the url points to already existing article - it's just a coincidence Here's our source code: https://github.com/BaderBC/halupedia https://github.com/BaderBC/halupedia

This kind of Absurdist humour reminds me of the Marx Brothers or the Tip y Coll Spaniards. And the Sokal case with the Humanities branches, for sure. BTW: https://halupedia.com/postmodernism https://halupedia.com/postmodernism This is golden. https://halupedia.com/paradox https://halupedia.com/paradox Best entry, hands down. This is a love letter to Prattchett.

  It also feels a bit like Sam Kriss, if you know him. Some of his writing: https://samkriss.substack.com/p/five-prophets https://samkriss.substack.com/p/five-prophets His biography is quite interesting: https://halupedia.com/sam-kriss https://halupedia.com/sam-kriss
