Aiki Wiki, Wikipedia We Have a Problem update
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2021 8:11 pm
Hi everyone, it has been quite a long time.
I'm glad everyone is still here. As some may know, my case study Wikipedia, We Have a Problem has been offline for some time, and I have an update which is also published here
https://rome-viharo.medium.com/aiki-wik ... 029e395987
“Wikipedia, We Have a Problem” disappeared from the internet in late 2019, after I hit a number of entrepreneurial hardships that distracted me just enough to let the domain lapse while a number of my detractors were on standby to pick up the domain name, and attempt to re-sell it to me for a high profit margin.
As the project and not much from me has been heard by anyone since, I would like to post a formal update, because much has changed.
First, Aiki Wiki, which is the project that Wikipedia We Have a Problem was informing, hit a milestone.
In 2020, I finally completed the algorithm for Aiki Wiki.
The algorithm can guide an online dispute or conversation to only one possible mathematical and psychological outcome, resolution. It is a combination of Game Theory, Psychology and computer interface design.
In 2021, the project was accepted into the National Science Foundation, and Aiki Wiki is partnering with a major research university, Top 5 in the United States. (I'm not mentioning names publicly yet because the last thing I need is a bunch of trolls contacting a prestigious research professor.)
The project has gone on to receive some pretty incredible high level endorsements, including a chief science officer from the top tech company in the world, a few prominent professors, and surprisingly has received endorsements from some very prominent attorneys for Aiki Wiki’s impact on legal disputes and more importantly as a prototype for a digital court system.
Since 2020, I have given over 200 live presentations of how a mutually resolving consensus can emerge without any requirement for a third party mediator and without any type of voting. (anyone can DM me or contact me for a live demo over zoom, its fun!)
What is more, I demonstrate how a process can exist within a computer interface that, with mathematical precision, can produce the most optimal outcome possible between ideological divides while naturally filtering the worst types of behaviors and choices.
This has been the peak experience of my life, and if anyone was following the journey of Aiki Wiki through the publication of Wikipedia, We Have a Problem, they would know how hard won this accomplishment is, primarily because my research into consensus building on Wikipedia required me to get harassed and targeted to a very extreme degree.
Cheers!
