@malteengeler The CEO of Perplexity, Aravind Srinivas, tweeted one year earlier, almost to the day (on January 14, 2025):
> It’s pretty clear that Wikipedia is biased. I’m happy to support anyone who wants to build an alternative to it that’s more neutral and unbiased using Perplexity APIs. It’s a long project that needs serious commitment. So, please ping if you want to do it.
Perplexity empowers far-right extremists, including Donald Trump and Ben Shapiro.
And then you have Lane Becker, president of Wikimedia Enterprise, saying:
> Wikipedia is a critical component of these tech companies' work that they need to figure out how to support financially. […] all our Big Tech partners really see the need for them to commit to sustaining Wikipedia's work.
Huh.
Turns out it wasn’t my cable modem that was the problem why i didn’t get replies from #Wikipedia:
»Issues and slow down in Europe«

There is so much to say about this. And little is positive. How frustrating to - once again - see the narrative of "Open Data" being used to openwash corporate benefits.
