@evan i think it's really difficult to solve.
My daughter stated something the other day, i can't recall what, but my response was "go read the Wikipedia article, you'll know"
To which she replied "anyone can edit Wikipedia, and I'll have to read so much, I'll ask chatGPT instead"
I was stricken; you trust chatGPT, the bullshit machines over Wikipedia?
But i think it's a trend, and I think a lot of people would rather because they can get a "summary" and won't have to think.
If you care at all about whether public bodies, like the NHS, publish the code you paid for, you probably want to take a look at https://keepthingsopen.com
@funcrunch both of those are economic games that depend on growth. They're fine examples. You can get boxed in on both games.
@evan Firefox had a transformative impact, providing the platform upon which the modern web could be built. I still can't stop thinking about the impact Thunderbird would have had on the world of digital communications if it had had the same resources and attention.
I should also say that the Wikimedia editor community is a big drag on developing new interfaces for editing, since the editors are also the fact checkers. Getting a flood of new edits from ChatGPT users or Alexa users or Google search users is a WP editor's worst nightmare.
@nickapos Wikipedia is *NOT* a lot more than user traffic.
