Rather than focus on the toxic behaviour & attitudes of the TechBros, how about taking some time out this morning to read an interview with Jimmy Wales the man behind Wikipedia.

As he reflects on the impact of AI on Wikipedia & other issues, he comes over as a refreshing change from other 'Tech Barons'.

‘People thought I was a communist doing this as a non-profit’: is Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales the last decent tech baron?

In an online landscape characterised by doom and division, the people’s encyclopedia stands out – a huge collective endeavour giving everyone free access to the sum of human knowledge. But with Elon Musk branding it ‘Wokipedia’ and AI looming large, can it survive?
