This happened on February the 9th - 10th

This wikipedia article was marked for deletion, so just in case https://archive.ph/wip/7fvmI

Other forums are mentioning conspiracy theories about political oponents sabotaging the current (new) government.

No skin in that game




Yeah this wasn’t even interesting when I read about it a week ago

Hacker “Olds” amirite


Why would someone want to delete an article that was absolutely complete rubbish? Wikipedia may have standards, but they are really really low.

Of course it was all the monkeys fault, for being part of a geographic location, with poor energy planning, poor infrastructure support, in a third world country, all the things intervening primates need to shovel disinformation.

"The nationwide blackouts were attributed to a massive disruption caused by a monkey which had apparently intervened to trigger an irreparable damage which made it unable to restore the electricity in most parts of Sri Lanka immediately after the incident had unfolded." ( This from the Wikipedia article is not Artificial Intelligence, its shocked monkeys forced to type randomly type ).

Damn that damn monkey, and his triggering intervention of irreparable damage. Just what do they think AI will do with all this world salad? Was it written by AI or was it written by the monkey as a suicide note? or the place went to sh*t-hole Level 5 when Arthur C Clarke died?

Inquiring minds what to know, why third world problems require primate interventions?

This could have happened anywhere? Puerto Rico? New York in 1977? London 2003? Was it all the work of intervening primates?

When your premise is utterly absurd, you can drive the point anywhere: Shock the Monkey.
