In a world where headlines spread without sources, Wikipedia takes a different approach: radical transparency. Every edit and discussion is visible to everyone, making knowledge creation a collective, accountable process that builds trust 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge.
Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

I appreciate @arstechnica.com for being one of the few outlet to correctly not attribute a user-prompted apology to xAI or the Grok model:

xAI silent after Grok sexualized images of kids; dril mocks Grok’s “apology”
xAI may be liable for Grok generating AI CSAM.

I don’t think it is progressive to force urban homeowners like me who live in fire-safe areas to pay higher home insurance premiums to subsidize people who choose to live in McMansions in places with very high fire risk.
This is what passes for progressivism and climate policy in California. Jane Kim’s answer for elevated fire risk and actuarial risk? Put it on the public dime. Urban renters should bail out well to do exurban property owners and landlords in fire zones. FAIR plan is already a ticking time bomb!
