Great article on how Wikipedia uses process, often unto tedium, to prevent polarization and fend off ideological attacks. But pay attention to the part about “state capture,” and what happened in Croatia when neo-Nazis took over the admin board.

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

If you haven't read this
@joshdzieza.bsky.social
piece, I strongly suggest you do. Too much good stuff to single out one quote, but the frame it offers: verification and deliberative decision-making as a bulwark against power, is a vital antidote to the vanities of the current media discourse

"Wikipedia is one of the few platforms online where tremendous computing power isn’t being deployed in the service of telling you exactly what you want to hear." Terrific Verge piece this morning

Used this article in class this week and the debate was incredible - from business ethics to policy, touching upon some metaphysics and metaethics. We, as a society, need to talk more (and more effectively) about this sort of tech and what we want it to look like.

This was published while I was at the National Assembly so I never really got a chance to promote it, which is kind of insane? It's one of the best features that The Verge has ever published. When I first read the draft I went "what the fuck did I just read??????"

This is a truly outstanding, beautifully-written article. Insights into a hidden world with "fractal dilemmas" indeed. If you only read one thing this week, read this.

I believe some people can be comforted and helped by AI companions, but it seems clear that the companies making them are not acting responsibly. Excellent from Josh Dzieza
