Elon Musk’s latest grok-thesque move: create a copy of Wikipedia and then have his AI edit it to reflect his increasingly extremist worldviews. Rather than hurt your eyes rolling them too hard, spend your time listening to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. «We’ll still be around in 100 years. He won’t.» he says about Musk. The interview, however, is less about Musk and more about how Wales understands Wikipedia’s role in a polarised information ecosystem. The internet needs more Wales, less Musk. Or, to quote the wonderful Billie Eilish: «If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties.»
