I'm not saying that's a step down from the Sun Belt, but doesn't this make their pathway into a 24 team playoff a lot harder?

Cuneiform was invented in Iraq. A new open-access overview of the world's largest cuneiform catalogue, co-authored by @epp.cdli.network at @ads-update.bsky.social, is out in Arabic in an Iraqi journal, for the people whose heritage it is. Read more in our news story: www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/...

I rejected an AI article submitted to the Journal of CAA (and I probably only spotted it because I'm an expert), and the editors were going to let them rewrite it. No, I think the author should have been fired or thrown out of grad school (if they were even real to begin with).

Ethan Gruber @ewg118.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It's getting really challenging to peer review articles because you used to be able to take it on good faith that a bibliography was real and the citations actually said what the author said they did.

When everything is AI, nothing is AI. [Wikidata is Linked Open Data] news.virginia.edu/content/qa-w...

Q. How does Wikipedia work beyond the encyclopedia most people know?

A. People are familiar with Wikipedia, which is the encyclopedia of prose text for humans, but there’s also a project called “Wikidata.” It is an imagining of Wikipedia that AI uses to answer questions.

Every Wikipedia article has a Wikidata entry in the database, which is a conversion of the information in Wikipedia to structured data. People can often find interesting global datasets. So, for example, there are biographies for certain professors at the University of Virginia, and a person could go into Wikidata and ask for a list of all the people who are employed by the University of Virginia.

It's hard pinpoint the very earliest memory of a scary scene or character, but I would say 1) The lightsaber fight between Luke and Vader in Empire and 2) some scene in Brave Little Toaster where the vacuum cleaner (?) goes nuts and 3) Watership Down

also, I thought web3 was supposed to be the knowledge graph, but I guess everyone forgot about that and went straight into gen AI, which is sort of the complete antithesis to knowledge graph

Yeah, you're probably right, but a lot of them have lost a lot of money too, so they are probably looking at AI as a way to make up for their losses in crypto
