• WHY GROKIPEDIA IS MAKING THE MEDIA MELTDOWN - AND WHY THAT’S A GOOD THING

    The legacy media is melting down over a digital encyclopedia. Not a government scandal. Not a war. A website. It’s called Grokipedia, Elon's AI-powered alternative to Wikipedia, and it has already done the unthinkable: challenged the establishment’s control over online “truth.”

    Launched in beta as version 0.1, Grokipedia already has more than 885,000 entries, and that’s just the start. Musk says version 1.0 is coming soon and promises it will be “ten times better”. Better than what? According to Musk: better than Wikipedia itself. And if you look at how both sites handle controversial topics, he might be right.

    Wikipedia is run by volunteers, but let’s not kid ourselves, ideological gatekeeping is baked into its DNA. From politics to culture to science, pages are shaped by editors who lean overwhelmingly left. Anyone who’s ever tried to update a conservative viewpoint knows what happens: instant reversion, flags, bans, and “consensus.”

    It’s not “the wisdom of the crowd.” It’s the orthodoxy of a very specific crowd.

    Grokipedia’s arrival struck a nerve because it breaks that consensus. It doesn’t just rewrite articles, it reframes narratives. The BLM entry? It notes the movement’s scale, but also includes the violence, property damage, and 25 deaths linked to the 2020 riots. Wikipedia barely mentions that.

    The Tucker Carlson page? It calls out the systemic media bias he exposed, citing actual reporting, something Wikipedia refuses to do without filtering it through their editorial “neutrality” filter.

    Even the entry on Elon Musk pulls no punches. It praises his impact, while noting the relentless attacks from left-leaning media. Shocking, right?

    This isn’t about articles, it’s about power. Wikipedia has held a near-monopoly over online reference knowledge since 2001. Now, an AI-driven, open-access rival shows up and suddenly every blue-check pundit is in DEFCON 1 mode.

    The panic isn’t about errors. It’s about losing control over the narrative. Grokipedia lets people see different angles, uncensored, and that alone makes it dangerous to the establishment.

    Truth Doesn’t Need a Gatekeeper

    Grokipedia isn’t perfect. No source is. But it offers something we haven’t had in a long time: real competition in the knowledge economy. And that’s exactly why it’s driving Wikipedia’s defenders, and their media allies, absolutely mad.

    If your version of “truth” can’t stand up to a free marketplace of ideas, maybe it was never the truth to begin with.

  • NASA’s Voyager 1 — 48 Years in Space and Still Not a Full Light-Day Away

    Launched on September 5, 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 has been traveling through space for 48 years. After traveling over 23 billion km, Voyager 1 is now the most distant human-made object, still sending faint radio signals from the edge of interstellar space — nearly half a century after launch.

  • A world first. New footage from Mars rendered in stunning 4K resolution. We also talk about the cameras on board the Martian rovers and how we made the video. The cameras on board the rovers were the height of technology when the respective missions launched.
    A question often asked is:
    ‘Why don’t we actually have live video from Mars?’
    Although the cameras are high quality, the rate at which the rovers can send data back to earth is the biggest challenge. Curiosity can only send data directly back to earth at 32 kilo-bits per second.
    Instead, when the rover can connect to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, we get more favourable speeds of 2 Megabytes per second.
    As you would expect, sending HD video at these speeds would take a long long time. As nothing really moves on Mars, it makes more sense to take and send back images.
