Please don't skip this 4-minute video. Today Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia ran off on a reporter because the reporter dared to ask the question "Are you the co-founder of Wikipedia." If you've lost count of how many times Jimmy Wales has asked you for money this year, we hope that you at least give 2% of your attention to keep this public techbro embarrassment out of our faces for all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uswRbWyt_pg#wikipedia #jimmywales #techbro

@Cat It's a hit piece. What he walked out on was a bad setup. Larry sanger the other cofounder has in years since become a right wing extremist, and the interview asking him about it was intending to stir up "controversy". It is nothing about walesxtslong all the credit etc. The interviewer was fucking with wales, he saw it, and smartly walked off. There's a blogger who made a video explaining it and I can't find it in my history. I'll see if I can find it in my posts.

@Cat The jimmy wales hit piece is really getting around. I begin to think this an intentional act to harm him and mainly harm Wikipedia.

@tomjennings weird coincidence that the piece got legs around the same time as Musk's LLM Wikipedia clone launched, really makes you think hahaha
