If conservatives want to hand over wikipedia to the left then I am ok with that. If the military and CIA can also stop editing it that would be great.
They won't though.
The whole point is to move Wikipedia rightward by introducing an extremist alternative that makes Wikipedia look like less of a shilling utility for liberalism.
I don't see how it's going to achieve that without Grok actually being trusted by people and the only people that trust Grok are extremely dim. This is an AI project that will die with the AI bubble bursting.
He wants to do to wiki what he's done to Twitter but the problem is he can't buy wikipedia. The outcome will be the same as if he had tried to compete with Twitter instead of buying it.
