![TEXT: Wikipedia – highly decentralized, community-edited, consensus-based, transparent. Some centralised elements, eg non-profit Wikimedia Foundation owns the site’s servers; some admins, elected by the community, have special privileges. This piece [link] details a recent campaign of “right-wing attacks” on Wikipedia’s credibility.
Grokipedia – top-down, AI-run, no community editing or public edit logs, its internal decision-making considered opaque. Musk is widely reported as being the main lever-puller when it comes to things like political tone. Jimmy Wales has some interesting things to say about Wikipedia and Grokipedia in his interview with Lawfare [link]. Meanwhile, this piece [link] claims “a majority of Grokipedia’s entries are just cribbed from Creative Commons Wikipedia articles, [while] much of its user-created content is based on absurdly unreliable rightwing sources like InfoWars, The Gateway Pundit, Natural News, and VDare.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3amwq43wzgo7cbdxxtb6lnoa/bafkreih5mtxvkfo24hgahcelpe37fhg5ckvugys53y4qwx3fiickgfcf5e)
