"The AI Unbundling", by @benthompson → https://stratechery.com/2022/the-ai-unbundling/
I had this article bookmarked since late 2023 (thanks to @maxlath's Time Capsule browser extension for the logs!), but even (finally!) reading it now in 2026, it offers an impressively prescient and clear-eyed panorama of the impact of AI in the how we communicate and disseminate ideas, and is especially relevant in the context of the so-called #SASSpocalypse in the wake of #VibeCoding. Absolutely worth a read!

I really enjoyed this episode of the #BetweenTheBrackets podcast featuring @Wittylama about the past, present and future of #Wikipedia at its 25th birthday: https://betweenthebrackets.libsyn.com/episode-200-liam-wyatt
The themes of reduced (direct) readership, shifting habits of information consumption, AI crawl-bots and long-term sustainability via explicitly symbiotic partnerships, were touched upon with clear thought and insightful remarks. The Wikimedia movement is lucky to have Liam in the #WikimediaEnterprise initiative!
🕑 1 hour 14 minutes It's the (belated) 25th anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia - and the 200th episode! For this special episode, we have the return of Liam Wyatt (username Wittylama), a longtime Wikipedia volunteer and commentator, the first-ever Wikipedian-in-residence, and now a Senior Technical Partnerships Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation, to talk about Wikipedia's past, present and future. Links for some of the topics discussed: at Internet Archive (video) (November 2025 Diff blog post) (January 2026 blog post) (November 2025 GLAM-Wiki talk by Liam) (May 2025 presentation by Giuseppe Lavagetto) (January 2026 essay by Christophe Henner)
