What is a possible business model for Wikipedia? Assume that they have a team of superstar engineers who can build any iterative feature immediately. So given development is not a blocker, how can they make money instead of relying on donations?

Recurring fees to publish, surface, and preserve misinformation. Lie to me, but pay a premium first.

This is very interesting.
- Deposit collateral while submitting an edit or post.
- Each submission will result in a challenge period where community can vote (or maybe even bots can reconcile the submission with models such gpt-3)
- if it violates some misinformation threshold, deposit gets slashed.

THIS is interesting. My cast was just arm-chair cynical.

My gut says this won't work but that the results, if done at a large scale, would be fascinating. The effect on active editors and edit-rates alone would be worth the chaos.

Costs presumably wouldn't be prohibitive to ideologues of the sort who already donate to orgs and political candidates/parties to advance their agenda. Nor to state/corporate actors trying to shape the past/present.

This is almost exactly what I’m building at Mosaic. If you’re into the idea let’s talk.
