Oh yes, and this is not just a me problem... hallucinated citations predominantly "assign credit to already prominent and male scholars" arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723

[2605.07723] LLM hallucinations in the wild: Large-scale evidence from non-existent citations arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Researchers audited 111 million references across 2.5 million papers on arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN, and PubMed Central to find non-existent citations at scale.
  • They estimate 146,932 hallucinated citations in 2025 alone, concentrated in fields with rapid AI uptake and in small or early-career author teams.
  • Fake citations disproportionately credit already prominent and male scholars, and existing preprint moderation catches only a fraction, the paper says.

At the very least, since the OpenAI Navier Stokes controversy, a suggestive pattern is emerging. Writers remember: they took our work without thinking twice. The commercial and reputational rewards of stealing science may be too tempting www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/s...

Not being snarky or nothing, but the US government has been building Frankensteins for decades, by incentivising irresponsible innovators.

‘If you’re building Frankenstein, stop’: JD Vance dismisses calls for AI regulation theguardian.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • US Vice-President JD Vance told frontier AI labs on the All-In podcast that if they are 'building Frankenstein,' they should stop, not seek federal regulation.
  • Vance called industry appeals for AI rules 'a bit of a Trojan horse,' suggesting incumbent labs want regulation to lock in their position.
  • The rebuke followed Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei's essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' which urged coordinated slowdowns among leading AI labs.

Polls show people expect AI to at least advanced science. Navier-Stokes, right? AI may throttle science instead! It doesn’t always advance understanding, its glut overwhelms filters for quality, and its methods don’t fit medical research. Gift link to my NYT essay. www.nytimes…

“The idea that preparing students to succeed in an AI-saturated world requires reimagining college as an AI incubator is not a sign of technological acumen, but of tech illiteracy. An LLM is not an aircraft requiring years of training to operate.” www.chronicle.com/article/har…

Kings Cross is increasingly awash with AI firms & London's taking a leading role in AI safety. But a caveat: it's mainly the kind of safety that cares about models from being used in cyberattacks or going rogue, not societal impacts like inequality or AI psychosis www.nature.c…

The way I squeaked when I saw this on the shelf at Daunt! I've been researching LLM Theisms as a religious studies scholar for a bit now, but always happy for more background from the LLM cartographers themselves :D
