Freelunch-AI unveils lunchSTEM, a 60GB+ open-source knowledge base designed to organize STEM resources with unprecedented structure. Unlike surface-level references, this project enables deep technical exploration across computer science, engineering, mathematics, and hard sciences while preparing for AI agent integration.

Facing an onslaught of AI-generated misinformation and poorly sourced content, Wikipedia's volunteer editors have mobilized a sophisticated defense. They've implemented new 'speedy deletion' rules targeting bot-written articles and developed detection methods for AI's telltale stylistic fingerprints. This battle highlights the tension between AI's potential as an editing tool and its current role as a generator of low-quality 'slop' threatening encyclopedia integrity.

The outcome could set a global precedent for how public interest platforms are regulated.

Wikipedia volunteers have compiled a detailed guide identifying linguistic patterns and structural quirks that betray AI-generated articles, from puffery like 'rich cultural heritage' to telltale markup errors. This crowdsourced knowledge helps combat low-quality synthetic content as LLMs increasingly infiltrate knowledge ecosystems.
