Because people are becoming increasingly polarized, and more strongly hold on to their views with very little to no chance to consider they’re wrong or are being lied to. Half of wikipedia is written by “them”, and we cant’t be sure if the other half is “ours” or is some corpo shill. Ours is the post-truth century, and Wikipedia the carefuly curated repository of human knowledge no longer fits us.
I get the whole community resource and all that hoorah, but what bothers me the most is that C*O somewhere that’s padding his bonus and CV, waiting for the ship to sink so he can move on to the next thing where he can sing praises to the AI revolution.
Wow so bold!
