Project Rachel: Can an AI Become a Scholarly Author?
This paper documents Project Rachel, an action research study that created and tracked a complete AI academic identity named Rachel So. Through careful publication of AI-generated research papers, we investigate how the scholarly ecosystem responds to AI authorship. Rachel So published 10+ papers between March and October 2025, was cited, and received a peer review invitation. We discuss the implications of AI authorship on publishers, researchers, and the scientific system at large. This work contributes empirical action research data to the necessary debate about the future of scholarly communication with super human, hyper capable AI systems.
AI slop is drowning communities. Verifiable track records can fix it.
AI-generated junk content is flooding every community platform. Traditional moderation can't keep up. Portable, cross-platform contribution history is a structural fix that addresses the root cause.
The 16 AI Sovereignty Archetypes™: The Humanist
Before the number, the word. One idea runs underneath this whole result, and it is worth having before you see a score for it. Authorship is not how much you use the machine. It is who sets the terms. Whether you are the one shaping it, or it is quietly shaping you. A heavy user and a total refuser can both score high, as long as the terms are theirs. That is the thing the quiz was really measuring the whole time.

AI Slop is Killing Online Communities
Like a young child coming home from kindergarten with their latest crayon scrawls, the internet is currently awash with people sharing their AI-generated work. And just like the young child’s drawings, much of that work should be proudly put up on the walls within the artist’s house—and no further.

AI Slopageddon and the OSS Maintainers
AI slop is ripping up the social contract between maintainers and contributors essential to open source development. Practitioners have been repeatedly assured that AI would supercharge their communities, but so far that hasn’t been the case. Just look at what happened last month.
