I watched an event with Jimmy Wales at the Edinburgh Book Festival today. He was talking about his recent book, The Seven Rules of Trust. As well as being a living internet legend, he's a proper raconteur. It was great hearing the story of the early days of Wikipedia, as well as his thoughts on the effect of AI on the platform. I look forward to getting stuck into the book!
Wikipedia is a modern wonder of the world. If you're able, please donate a few quid to help keep it alive.
