Wikipedia makes it easier to be informed. The wealthy dont want you informed. Simple as.

Attention.

Because facts don’t care about his feelings, so he needs to create a platform where his feelings become truth.
That’s also why he lobotomizes Grok so often, to purge any facts that he considers “woke”.

Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

This isn’t the first time they have tried this

Holy shit. They claim Einstein’s Theory of Relativity has something to do with moral relativism? That’s so fucking stupid.

Yeah, but this will not require any people to add content since it’s all stollen and simply manipulated which is easier to automate than producing original content which AI can’t be trusted not to hallucinate about quite yet. The idea is to then get the search engine AIs to point there as much as possible as it will likely be optimized for AI scraping rather than human browsing. Then since the AI results are prioritized more and more, they can get their truthiness to be what people see over actual reality.

The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

I wish Sagan were still here. We could all use his guidance

Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

I, too, can print out wikipedia articles and use them to wipe my ass.

This is actually worse. It’s copy/paste with an AI “correcting” any view that doesn’t conform to Elon’s view.

“We think people just like Blahaj because their friends online do, not because of the shark itself, but we have no evidence either way, and also mainstream media is liberal and bad.”

I don’t know wtf this nonsense is even trying to say, but whatever it is it’s deeply offense to those of us at lemmy.blahaj.zone

To be clear:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.
Vs.
https://grokipedia.com/page/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.Grok explains itself:
Co-founder Larry Sanger has argued since 2020 that the platform exhibits a pronounced left-wing slant, attributing it to the exclusion of conservative viewpoints via policies that deem non-mainstream outlets unreliable, even when they report verifiable facts overlooked by establishment media.[89] This is evident in the Reliable Sources guideline, which prioritizes legacy media—often critiqued for institutional left-leaning tendencies—over primary data or alternative analyses, effectively blacklisting sites like those affiliated with the Daily Wire or Breitbart unless corroborated elsewhere

As long as this doesn’t become a source for Wikipedia

No chance

So basically all of Wikipedia’s errors plus new errors from grok? Amazing
But can we also increasingly let chat bots edit Wikipedia itself, please? Oh, we are? Great

In a time when attention is considered a currency, why are we sharing stuff like this???
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
i might use this once, point and laugh at it and go back to using Wikipedia.

Am I the only person who immediately thought that Musk will end up suing Wikipedia for infringing on “his” content?
MrSulu@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Fuckedy fuck fuck donkeyshit. Just my personal opinion of his latest idea.
angelmountain@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Wikipedia works because of the vigilant team of volunteers maintaining its quality. Let’s see how Musk is going to do that 😏
gerryflap@feddit.nl 1 year ago
When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality
kbal@fedia.io 1 year ago
Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.
sunbeam60@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Vigilant team of right wing AI bots correcting any “libtard bias” as soon as it occurs.
This really solidifies the US’ splitting into two. Now there are two versions of “truth”. It breaks the heart.
teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
That is literally the opposite of Musk’s goal.

It will be full of frog memes and crypto “fundraiser” popups. The references section at the bottom will be links to buy life insurance and commemorative freeze-dried Trump feces with bits of undigested/unpaid bills sprinkled throughout.
