Wikipedia: Reliable Resource or Dangerous Collectivism?

A few weeks ago, I was listening to Sunday Edition and heard an interview with Jaron Lanier. The interview centered on his recent essay: DIGITAL MAOISM: The Hazards of the New Online Collectivism. In a nutshell, Lanier discusses the problem with Wikipedia, and what he sees as the beginnings of artificial intelligence. It’s an excellent essay if you have some time to give it a read.

Check it out on The Edge.
