back again to share a new preprint from me and @mantzarlis.com! “What did Elon Change? A comprehensive analysis of Grokipedia” arxiv.org/abs/2511.09685
I had seen many spot analyses of individual grokipedia pages, but I was curious: how was grokipedia made? what did Elon change from wikipedia?

Claude (Opus 4.5) has started citing Grokipedia in its results.

I posted this👇 to a claim that genAI is better than Ctl+F to search historical docs. @tristanpalmgren.bsky.social replied with a genAI summary of my document and @bookllyfr.bsky.social asked if it was accurate.
It turns out that it did exactly what genAI does: made stuff up & got stuff wrong.🧵

That makes me really sad. They were both extremely successful in their fields. They didn't need to do that.

I wrote a blog post about a lecture introducing stability in ODE models and their numerical solution. The lecture transcript and code for figures are included.

Lecture notes on stability in the dynamics and Euler’s method

🚨 Excited to share our new research! 🚨
We tackle a big question in conservation: how can we make smarter use of existing surveys to learn about places and species we haven’t yet been able to survey? 🏔️

Happy to share that our paper ‘a formal theory of group-level adaptation for obligate eusociality’ (with @andygardner.bsky.social) is now out in @jevbio.bsky.social advances.

Though funnily enough, we got a really thorough review at Sci Rep. The reviewer was so careful they picked up a right author but wrong paper mis-citation. I think they even found typos in the supplement, from memory (20 pages of mostly maths). But we could have got somewhere else.

A blessing for the system, not me.
I really regret not going with my gut and saying “no” to submitting that paper to Scientific Reports. The Ecol. Model. ones can’t be helped because that was a respectable journal at the time, but Sci Rep has always felt dodgy. That’s a lesson learned for me.

Check out the graphical abstract for a paper recently published in Ecological Modelling.
I have papers published in Ecological Modelling. Never again, I guess.

Awesome, this is the second journal I’ve published in that has since let through egregious AI slop.
