I was recently introduced to the Lex Fridman podcast. He does long interviews with a wide range of super interesting people. I heartily recommend listening to the recent interview with Jimmy Wales. It has restored my faith in humanity a little. https://lexfridman.com/jimmy-wales/

I'm giving up on WT.Social. It's a neat idea, but failed to gain critical mass in a reasonable timeframe, and even the upcoming big release 2 doesn't sound like it would alter the fundamentals. And now I've found that the person I read the most from on WTS (the prolific @estherschindler) is on Mastodon as well.

Will #Wikipedia be written by #ai Founder #JimmyWales is thinking about it …
“I do think there are some interesting opportunities for human assistance where if you had an AI that were trained on the right corpus of things — to say, for example here are two Wikipedia entries, check them and see if there are any statements that contradict each other and identify tensions where one article sems to be saying something slightly different to the other,” Wales said.

New day at @openuk #StateOfOpenCon. Starting with the keynote from #JimmyWales talking about moderation and regulation.

@e_urq Interesting. Will you make a list of the edits and the users who made them?
Possibly related: Due to the extensive credible documentation, #OperationPaperClip has a #Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip, even though #PhillipCross is a very active user promoting #Establishment #CIA narratives and #JimmyWales is apparently ok with it https://popularresistance.org/phillip-cross-the-mystery-wikipedia-editor-targeting-anti-war-sites/

#elmo / #Elon on #twitter just castigated #JimmyWales of the #wikipedia project for relying too much on "mainstream sources".
Never mind if he's right or wrong, who the fuck is #ElonMusk to decide how Jimmy Wales should run his project? Further, isn't he busy enough with his own projects? That social media site, the electric car company, those rocket ships to Mars he wants to build, and brain implants to make us all social media zombies.
Hutzpah!
