    • Wikipedia co-founder reacts to Musk’s Grokipedia announcement:

    Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger said he is “happy” Elon Musk is creating a competitor to the online encyclopedia, but also expressed concern that the new artificial intelligence-driven platform could be inherently biased. In an interview with Straight Arrow News, Sanger shared insight into how he thinks Musk and the xAI team should build the platform to avoid such pitfalls.

    This may be very good news in a world where good news is increasingly hard to find.

    Copying this post by Bluegreen on his thread:

    ~~~

    Wikipedia: Congressional Investigation

    Reps Comer and Mace Launch Investigation into Wikipedia Information Manipulation

    For years, researchers and education professionals have claimed that Wikipedia content was altered to promote specific narratives. Congress seems to have taken notice.





    The influence of moderators on the most widely used content website has long been debated.

    Recently, the downgrading of the news website "The Debrief" based on the opinion of a few moderators rekindled outrage. It seems that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has decided to intervene. In an announcement on their website, they state that they are “investigating organized efforts, undertaken in violation of Wikipedia platform rules, to influence U.S. public opinion on important and sensitive topics by manipulating Wikipedia articles”.

    Any reasonable person would be astonished by the fact that AI chatbot companies are using community-driven content to feed their software when there is already a wealth of trusted and reliable encyclopedias that could have provided the content.

    Cost-cutting logic and access to information over reliability drive such companies. With an information system so fragile that institutions have discouraged students from using it for decades, one can only wonder what damage and social manipulation a coordinated group could cause by infiltrating the organization and, in effect, "rewrite history."

    Wikipedia has yet to respond

    Quote Timeline of Wikipedia–U.S. government conflicts - Wikipedia

    “As of August 28, 2025, the Oversight Committee's request set a production deadline of September 10, 2025; public hearings or transcribed interviews specific to Wikipedia had not been announced in committee releases, and WMF's formal response had not yet been published.”

    The entry about the Gaza conflict is 100% Israeli propaganda, which reflects Musk's bias.
