A Wikipedia page about why you shouldn’t use LLMs to write Wikipedia pages.
Pretty funny.

Why Ghost References Still Haunt Us in 2025—And Why It's Not Just About LLMs aarontay.substack.com/p/why-ghost-re… #AI #citations #ScholarlyPapers

The persistence of ghost references in 2025 may not just be a story about LLM randomly hallucinating ghost references for no reason.
Academic RAG systems that retrieve from curated databases and use proper citation verification have largely solved this problem at the technical level.
The real story is older and more uncomfortable. Ghost references have always existed, created and propagated by human sloppiness: typos, careless copying, citing without reading, conflating similar papers.

But I've seen some outside of an educational context as well. This one is absolutely horrific. It's another case of a #lawyer using an LLM to generate #court filings of one type or another, without even checking its output to see if the brief makes sense, cites actual case #law, etc.
This is a #sanctions order from a #judge in this particular case. It is gripping reading.
https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/mississippi/msndce/1:2024cv00074/49169/79/0.pdf
In short: the lawyer was caught submitting briefs with "hallucinated" #citations, either to cases that did not exist, or to cases that were unrelated to the legal point the citation was being used to uphold. An opposing #counsel contacted their firm about such an incorrect citation, and the firm did some cleanup, did some continuing legal education, instituted an "AI" policy, instructed the #attorney about what was forbidden, etc. And then that attorney ... just kept on doing it. Even after judges started noticing problems in submissions, this lawyer just kept doing it.
It was so bad that it basically caused the #implosion of the law firm.
Incredible.

Les meilleures pages et #citations du livre de #NicolasSarkozy sur son séjour en #prison mises en contexte par #Blast @blast pour expliquer en quoi, d'après les propres mots de Sarkozy, la prison n'est pas la solution.
En prime, vous n'aurez pas à vous acheter le livre, qui semble d'une platitude confondante pour un homme ayant exercé de si grandes fonctions...

“Il faut que la pensée voyage et contemple, si l'on veut que le corps soit bien.”
Alain, Propos sur le bonheur
New research in Journal of Informetrics asked 2,300+ social scientists from 42 countries: what are your top-3 publications?
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2025.101757
Only ~40% of self-identified “top” works also ranked in the author’s top-3 by citations. Even tripling citation counts wouldn’t push nearly a third of them into the bibliometric top. And 17% of “best” works don’t even appear in Scopus - especially in sociology and political science.

« Le "travail" doit perdre sa place centrale dans l'esprit, les pensées et l'imaginaire de chacun. Nous devons apprendre à le voir différemment : non plus comme quelque chose que nous avons – ou que nous n'avons pas –, mais comme ce que nous faisons. »
~ André Gorz, cité par @aworkinglibrary là : https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/exit-strategy
« L'affirmation selon laquelle les fabricants de bouillie [d'IA] remplaceront la plupart des emplois est une tentative pathétique de résurrection : seul le travail qui a été rabaissé jusqu'à la tombe pourrait être supplanté par des fantômes aussi ennuyeux et obséquieux. Le vrai travail a toujours été ailleurs. Il est peut-être temps de suivre où il nous mène et de laisser les morts dans leurs tombes. »
~ Mandy Brown

Hey nerds (/complimentary), if you were keeping a bibliography for a purely personal research project, what citation style would you use?
Boost if you love footnotes.

Nature: Influential list of highly cited researchers now shuts out more scientists: here’s why. “The creators of an influential list of highly cited researchers have shaken up their methodology this year, taking a swipe at scientists who associate with those linked to possible ethical breaches. The new rules have allowed the field of mathematics to return to the list, after being excluded for […]

- Vous n'avez jamais été mariée Mme Bertier.

My paper about using the fediverse to support urban memory just got cited by an Argentinian university conf paper! Yey! The fediverse is popular in south American countries because its sovereign apps and data.
