This is a resubmission of my paper on LLMs and Qualitative-MM Research done after the first reviewers' remarks—who knows how many more rounds lie ahead to further strain my already overloaded research pipeline. Porca miseria, come direbbero i miei amici italiani!

Thanks. I didn't know about that JASSS paper. I'll check it out.

I’m working on a manuscript & would really value a few careful eyes on it. If you have the time to skim through it, I’d greatly appreciate any feedback on how to sharpen the arguments & clarify the main claims—especially from a methodological or conceptual standpoint.

How LLMs mediate access to scholarly information, yet their outputs are evaluated at the level of individual statements rather than knowledge structure? Here is a discussion on structural hallucination, bibliographic grounding, and a network-based stress test to detect them.

Sunset over the Patrassian Gulph, II.

Sunset over the Patrassian Gulph, I.

Aloha!

Gidaki beach, Ithaca island.

On the road—wait, scratch that—on the ferry to Ithaca.

“When you depart for Ithaca,
wish for the road to be a long one,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
Fear not the Laestrygonians and the Cyclopes,
nor the angry Poseidon.”
—C.P. Cavafy

Hola!

Hi there

Another Patrassian sunset.

Look at Nestor’s Cave, where the Cyclops’ cave scene in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is currently being filmed.

Guys, spring is coming—let’s consign fascism to the dustbin of history. It’s our duty to do what our predecessors did nearly a century ago. History repeats itself, yet humanity and reason persist in their struggle against madness.
