Looks like Grokipedia has been expanding out profiles on everybody with a Wikipedia page based on publicly sourced stuff on the web. My Grokipedia page is enormous compared to my Wikipedia page. Its chronology is extremely confused, but otherwise the facts seem accurate (and accurately referenced), though there's a lot of biased language. In my case that seems to be almost entirely in my favor. Stop trying to make me like you, MechaHitler, it won't work.

Took me long enough, but I just realized my WiFi access point logs show a lot of vehicle traffic in my neighborhood. Not quite an ALPR, but I've got date/time stamps, SSIDs, and MAC addresses of passing vehicles with WiFi.

@hardindr @Trott That seems like the most likely explanation.

@Trott Thanks, that could be. I tried again with this: "@JimLippard

Ken Thompson's impressions are based on the early days of Multics in the 1960s during Project MAC. My experiences later as a consistent user from 1979 to 1989 and periodic user since then (it's now open source and can run on a laptop via hardware emulation), and as a developer at the Phoenix Multics Development Center from 1983-1989, were quite different. I found Multics to be far more consistent, elegant, and secure than Unix, and worked on the project that earned it the first B2 evaluation from the National Computer Security Center. Reflections on Multics by those who built and used it may be found on Tom Van Vleck's Multicians website."

I made a short comment on the video pointing to www.multicians.org, but it has been deleted.

BTW, see pp. 51-52 (pp. 55-56 of the PDF) for the core insight of Thompson's reflections on trusting trust, a decade before he wrote it. https://csrc.nist.gov/files/pubs/conference/1998/10/08/proceedings-of-the-21st-nissc-1998/final/docs/early-cs-papers/karg74.pdf
