Good interview with Jimmy Wales, in which he tells how Wikipedia strives to maintain its utility as a trusted source of truth, even as it has become deeply embroiled in the Culture Wars swirling about it. One of the key antagonists in this war is Elon Musk, wielding the recently launched Grokipedia as his primary weapon. In the following interview, Elon shares his own perspective on the differences between these two utilities and why his is simply superior; whether this proves true or not, i can only think, in this emergent age of ChatBot mediation of all queries, that this may spell real trouble for Wikipedia.
