My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

since starting this, I've gotten sued by a credit card company for being unable to pay, and had to pay 700$ due to a delivery fuckup.

Please, if you can donate, it'd really help.

OpenAI is buying Astral https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-astral/

1. I'm happy Astral got their exit (which we all knew was the end goal)
2. I'm glad no one will accuse me of trying to kill the company anymore by working on standards or saying there are other workflow tools
3. I'm taking a wait-and-see view (e.g. Astral already said more AI is coming to their tools https://blog.pamelafox.org/2026/03/learnings-from-pyai-conference.html#:~:text=Astral%20is%20also%20re%2Dprioritizing%20based%20off%20the%20move%20towards%20100%25%20agentic%20coding%2C%20with%20less%20emphasis%20on%20tools%20that%20would%20be%20used%20solely%20by%20a%20developer%20who%20is%20manually%20typing.)
4. I'm going to continue to work on standards for a baseline workflow experience to make my kid happy someday

The conda steering council recently approved a set of CEPs (conda enhancement proposals) that effectively standardize the conda ecosystem. This is a big milestone worth celebrating! 🎉
