How is he a grifter? I don't see any mentions of bitcoin or ai in his wiki.

Jimmy wales has a masters in finance. Larry Sanger has a PhD in philosophy.

Who would you trust more a guy with a finance degree or a guy with a PD in philosophy with great interest in ethics?

He's always dabbled in right-wing culture war type stuff with his various Wikipedia alternatives but more recently he's been into QAnon and anti-vax stuff.

I'd got the impression he was doing it partly to get right-wing funding for his various projects but maybe he's a true believer and I'm doing him a great disservice by calling him a grifter and not a lunatic.
