You ever type in something politically charged and get a result that reads less like facts and more like someone's hot take?
Yeah, it's not a bug. It's the feature.
Turns out there's this thing called Grokpedia trying to flip the script on how we've been consuming information. Think about it—when was the last time you read a supposedly "neutral" article and didn't feel like you were getting spoon-fed someone's agenda?
A 2024 study tore through thousands of political entries. The findings? Let's just say the bias isn't exactly subtle anymore. What used to be the gold standard for crowdsourced knowledge now looks more like an editorial column.
Meanwhile, projects like Grokpedia are pushing for something different. Decentralized. Transparent. Less room for gatekeepers deciding what version of the truth you get to see.
Maybe it's time we questioned where our information actually comes from.

nah, this reads like the dot-com bubble all over again. everyone suddenly "discovers" centralization is bad right after the last platform screws them over. history doesn't repeat but it sure rhymes, innit

ngl, this "neutral" facade has long been exposed; it's been a joke all along.

Hmm... This kind of decentralized information platform sounds good, but who will ensure that Grokpedia itself won't become the next "gatekeeper"?

ngl this is exactly what Web3 should do—the decentralization of information power is the right path.
