Wikipedia is one of the pinnacles of human knowledge and achievement across all cultures and time and space, as much as people try to sue them and get content taken down the set of laws and protections it enjoys is a true moral and technological good.

It saddens me that we will probably see the end of wikipedia soon.

The Wikimedia Foundation has been fined multiple times by Russian courts for example, it's just not in Russia's jurisdiction.

I expect the slow ramp of anti wikipedia rhetoric, which will all be plausible to the credulous, until public sentiment is swayed enough to strip their protections.

Now that college students are using completely unsourced, uninspectable chatgpt to write papers even that cohort won't protest.

And then instead of having a messy but checkable and certainly criticizable open repository of all human knowledge we will have opaque bs producers that are impossible to criticize because it will show eqch person what they want to see with no room for open debate or discussion and humanity will lose any attempt at curating shared, open touchstones of truth and fact.
