He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles once again after a months-long pause. In August, Lawfare reported that articles on Grokipedia hadn’t reviewed edits since April, but the platform’s live updates site is now showing various recent changes to pages — though as I write this, many are just a note that says “recheck all references and sources.”The site seems to have become active again relatively recently. The page for President Barack Obama has a note that says it was “Fact-checked by Grok” two days ago, and the page for Elon Musk was fact-checked while I was writing this, within the last hour.
However, the page for Honolulu, which I clicked on from Obama’s page, was last fact-checked 7 months ago, so it appears that not every page has a recent scan.While writing this article, I suggested an update to the Gears of War: E-Day page to note the game’s October 6th release date, and Grokipedia accepted the suggestion and now lists the date. I also requested an article about Meta’s Muse chatbot, and that request is “In Review.”Here’s Grok’s feedback to my request about Gears of War: E-Day.SpaceXAI didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment, and Elon Musk still hasn’t posted on X about Grokipedia since February. (Musk claimed about a year ago that Grokipedia would be “a massive improvement over Wikipedia.”) However, Benji Taylor, the head of design at X and SpaceXAI, posted last week about Grokipedia, saying that “We haven’t forgotten about Grokipedia” and that “v0.2 will be better than ever” (even though v0.2 technically launched in November).Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Jay PetersAIElon MuskNewsTechMost PopularBose’s first wired earbuds in 11 years add noise cancelingOpenAI launches Dots, its Muse competitorTrump finalizes rule to make cars less fuel efficientYour car’s data privacy problems are worse than you thinkNothing’s new flagship Headphone 1 Pro put you in the studioAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
