The sourch for this is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum page, which explains this was a thing that happened in 1919, but among many, many other events - such as the birth of Anne Frank.

It also does this really vile thing where it will use footnotes as evidence, but review of the footnote shows they've taken massive liberties with the context and significance.
For example, they claim that the "Stab-In-The-Back" theory was a major driver for perceiving jews as military threat.
For example, they claim that the "Stab-In-The-Back" theory was a major driver for perceiving jews as military threat.
![A primary perceived military threat stemmed from the "stab-in-the-back" legend, which attributed Germany's WWI defeat not to battlefield losses but to betrayal by Jewish-led revolutionaries and socialists who undermined the home front. Promulgated by military leaders like Paul von Hindenburg in a November 1919 parliamentary testimony, the myth highlighted events such as the November Revolution, where Jewish figures like Kurt Eisner (who declared the Bavarian Soviet Republic in 1918) and Rosa Luxemburg (co-founder of the Spartacist League) played prominent roles in strikes and uprisings that forced the armistice.[83] Nazis amplified this narrative, arguing that Jewish disloyalty—exemplified by over 12,000 German Jews serving in the army yet allegedly prioritizing internationalist agendas—had sabotaged the war effort, fostering a belief that unchecked Jewish influence posed recurring risks to national defense.[84]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hibx2u4ltsnhovoqvwfygtoi/bafkreiftkzngxti4cv6vhp4qkc3vx5w45ka36mm5i22toca6zoyihv52pq@jpeg)

Aside from the fact its weird there's a section for "Scientific and intellectual contributions" it's even weirder to have a paragraph about IQ tests under "contributions".
But "Grok" really wants it to stay in there.

So I went to Grokipedia to see if it had been contaminated by the "Elon Musk is better than ..." bug.
It's widely known it doesn't have the full contents of Wikipedia and is adding pages... but uh... not super comfortable with these being promoted as "new pages"

It's pretty wild how Microsoft is funding OpenAI, and between them they want to make like 2 dozen new nuclear power plants just to run their AI slop... but Windows wants me to use my monitor as little as possible to save the planet.

Firstly, good - fuck that guy, he was a prick of a DM.
Secondly, D&D at home isn't a competitive sport, there's no money riding on rankings - if your players are not having fun and are getting frustrated you should absolutely help them out and/let them skip the puzzle etc.

The Discord for Paizo's ORC License is pretty much officially dead at this point, with occasional appearances by spam bots that get cleaned up intermitanently.
I feel very confident in my early assessment it was never about helping the TTRPG community, just riding the OGL nonsense for clout.

Hence why you end up with nonsense where kids who haven't even finished school are being pitched as 10x engineers by other kids who talk amost entirely in slogans and only finished their bachelor degree last year (and can't hold down a job).

Amazon Luna is a spectacularly bizarre product in that all it wants to tell you about itself is "claim games, free with Prime". Clicking on About Luna brought this up instead.

Honestly baffling to me that sites claiming to be and presented as having serious educational value are putting this nonsense as a feature on their site.
If you can get away with reading the summary, you do not need to bother doing so because you already know the material, it should be that simple.
