Join Jen and Dagna as they explore the fascinating history and impact of Wikipedia! Discover how Wikipedia became the world's largest encyclopedia, surpassing even the Ming Dynasty's massive collection. Learn about founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, the origins of the name "wiki" (Hawaiian for "quick"), and how it all started as a side project for Nupedia in 2000. The hosts discuss Wikipedia's 25-year journey, the 8% decline in usage due to AI, and why human-curated knowledge still matters. Plus, enjoy tangents about Terrence Howard's math controversy, the Tasmanian tiger, Sumerian history, and why you should never fully trust AI. This episode celebrates the importance of research, critical thinking, and keeping Wikipedia alive in the age of artificial intelligence.
