Very interesting tool, but it's biased and not neutral from the get go, because I explicitly formulated claim in neutral way, but it automatically rewrote it to be western/wikipedia POV and then immediately proceeded to verify it.

original neutral:

  US DEPT OF DEFENSE/DNAVFAC planned renovations to School #05 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013 before Crimea became part of Russia in 2014
automatically rewritten to biased western view:

  The United States Department of Defense, via the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), planned renovations to School No. 5 in Sevastopol, Crimea in 2013, before Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
https://lenz.io/c/73c0f16c

And the follow up

  The phrasing "Crimea became part of Russia" is more neutral than the phrasing "Russia annexed Crimea."
, and according to this tool is Misleading 9/10

Yeah, so my personal conclusion that this tool is garbage, it checks western/US allied only LLM providers, that in turn search only for western/US allied sources/documents like BBC/NATO and result is what it is.

Wouldn't trust anything about medieval or cultural from someone in general and in this case _mirelaivanova_ who is touched by oxford group think, who is abandon twitter in favor of bluesky, who talks about "the uses and possibilities of the gender theory in the study of medieval world" https://youtu.be/dK9qpHIWXRs?t=118

This checks out, and reflects obscene world of SV according to bragging insider Lucy Guo @lucy_guo

    How to be successful in Silicon Valley: 

    1. Be born a man
    2. Be gay
    3. Hook up with the right people
    4. Repeat #3 until you've made it
    
    I've heard of investors leading rounds, founders getting multi million dollar contracts, and more. 
    It's wild stuff.

    Not the paypal mafia but the gay mafia

off-topic, but, please stop hosting websites behind cloudflare, just nginx is enough, cloudflare is cancer.

Unfortunately for everyone, people like you tie their entire identity and income to specific technologies, movements, or communities—becoming deeply tribal in the process. When something or someone undermines their sense of security—even with constructive criticism—they react defensively, often to the point of ignorance.

All this, combined with the fact that Zig, at best is still in beta quality and at worst amounts to a massive waste of everyone’s time, makes it unsurprising that people block you and simply refuse to engage with your loud community efforts, endless churn and crust tied to beta quality compiler.

> Zig is not really a handmade project, case in point both Andrew and I are blocked on social media by the two gods of the handmade movement (casey and john) and, according to their die hard fans, Andrew gave a talk at the last handmade conference that caused the community to split apart (the reality is a bit more complex than this, but Andrew's talk is certainly one that you wouldn't see at their new "better software" conference).

> Andrew's talk is here (second event after the two people chatting while sitting on chairs): https://handmadecities.com/media/seattle-2024/hms-day-one/

> Here you can see a particularly funny (but also sad) reaction by one of these people https://drive.proton.me/urls/MB1EB4EF34#YZdvmAvBFp1C

Regarding the links you posted:

In the first, at 2:30:40, Andrew Kelly publicly calls out a specific author of a competing technology in exaggerated, caricatured, and fabricated context.

In the second video, yet another author of a yet another competing technology directly points out this unapologetic and concerning behavior on Andrew Kelly’s part.

And now you—“VP of Community @ Zig Software Foundation”—assert your “righteous” stance by sharing these videos, while ironically pointing out that some of those same individuals (of competing technologies fame) block you on social media.

Too bad that doing your job probably means being as loud and visible online as possible to spread the molecules of Zig no matter what.

Github making suspect repository private and hiding recent account activity is wrong move and is interfering with citizens investigation efforts.

Fuck off. And since you here, you might tell us all how much you get incentive by aligning with U.S. owned Ad platforms, that also align with U.S. national interest to smear foreign tech giant Ad business?
