Imagine taking the whole Web, removing spam, duplicates, bad explanations

It will be the free new Wikipedia+ to learn anything in the best way possible, with the best graphs, interactive widgets, etc

What LLMs have for free but humans for some reason don’t

In some places it is possible to use copyrighted materials to educate if not directly for profit

I'll need a research team and five years.

Uh huh. Now imagine the collective amount of work this would require above and beyond the already overwhelmed number of volunteer staff at Wikipedia. Curation is ALWAYS the bugbear of these kinds of ambitious projects.

Interactivity aside, it sounds like you want the Encyclopedia Brittanica.

What made it so incredible for its time was the staggeringly impressive roster of authors behind the articles. In older editions, you could find the entry on magic written by Harry Houdini, the physics section definitively penned by Einstein himself, etc.

Love it when Silicon Valley reinvents encyclopedias

The proposed project is a non profit, I don’t think it can be a for profit legally (it didn’t stop AI companies, though)
