Edit: I ask because CyC is built by a group of its employees, it is not crowdsourced. Crowdsourcing often involves a much larger group of people, like in Wikipedia.

Cyc does not seem like the things that I would expect to work very well compared to a system that can build the world model from scratch because even if it is crowd sourced it would take to much effort.
I mean notice that the inference algorithms are too bad, to make the system capable enough. You can still increase the capability of the system very slowly, by just adding more data. So it seems easy to instead of fixing the inference, to just focus on adding more data, which is the wrong move in that situation.
