Yeah, I consider it the most serious fuck up. Yet, I'm not sure I would be really troubled even by that one if I knew nothing about that and casually came across this piece. I mean, maybe K2 is a name for 2 different peaks (it sure sound generic!), maybe something else I don't understand. Who knows!


I think the bigger problem is that we as content consumers are more and more looking for quantity rather than quality. While reading this climbing text I was thinking that I should probably carefully check for inconsistencies but I felt I can't be bothered to. I am not sure if that is only my feeling but it feels like the content matters less and less as long as I get entertained and with the neural nets getting better and better and I getting less picky we will meet somewhere in the middle where my brain keeps scanning for buzzwords and the net optimizing for it. Which feels this way with youtube, netflix et al. as well and I think this won't become a future we really like.
