Elon Musk and David Sacks are attacking Wikipedia again.
They say they will replace it with “Grokipedia.”
Why? Because quick, free, independent fact-checking is their enemy.

Quote:Elon Musk said Tuesday that his AI company xAI is building “Grokipedia” after he and his allies accused Wikipedia of bias.
“We are building Grokipedia @xAI,” Musk wrote on his social platform X. “Will be a massive improvement over Wikipedia. Frankly, it is a necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe.”
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said his version of the online encyclopedia, apparently named after his AI chatbot Grok, would be an “open source knowledge repository” available to the public “with no limits on use.”
Musk criticized Wikipedia on Tuesday as “Wokipedia” following similar accusations from his allies. White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks slammed the site as “hopelessly biased.”
“An army of left-wing activists maintain the bios and fight reasonable corrections,” Sacks alleged on X. “Magnifying the problem, Wikipedia often appears first in Google search results, and now it’s a trusted source for AI model training. This is a huge problem.”
Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, who hosts the “All-In” podcast with Sacks, also suggested Wikipedia was engaged in “one sided censorship.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
