Matt Artz' "gephi-ai" allows AI agents to remote-control Gephi and perform an analysis. github.com/MattArtzAnth... The install was a bit tedious, but it's just an alpha version for now. My install and test walk-through: gist.github.com/jacomyma/754... +

Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +

If we want to stay at the forefront of knowledge production, we must fit technology to our needs.

I see academics disclosing their use of generative AI in their papers. They may do it willingly or just as a requirement in the publication process, I don't know. I can see why you would want to know that, but it still strikes me as odd.

AI Statement: During the preparation of this work, the authors used ChatGPT-5.4 to support literature research, improve the readability of selected passages, and format references. The authors reviewed and edited all AI-assisted output as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the publication.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

This is excellent, one of my favorite long-form pieces on agentic engineering - includes several non-obvious ways in which leaning on coding agents can catch you out

I just published a deep-dive into the 250-hour build behind syntaqlite, a SQLite formatter and LSP I built using AI agents. AI agents were the only reason built this after 8 years of wanting but there's a psychological toll to AI-assisted engineering. The post-mortem: lalitm.com/post/buildin...

Just published open access, a playful exercise I developed and ran with students: "The Cringe Test: student evaluations of intelligence with LLMs in a Turing Test adapted for classroom use" www.frontiersin.org/journals/edu...

Frontiers | GIFT-AI: The Cringe Test: student evaluations of intelligence with LLMs in a Turing Test adapted for classroom use

This article presents “The Cringe Test,” a classroom adaptation of the Turing Test (or imitation game) that stages dialogue with large language models (LLMs)...
