Academics: thoughts on academia.edu and researchgate.net? I'm trying to minimize passive AI usage, and lately Academia.edu has been sending me BS about grants they've found for me using AI. Has anyone deleted their accounts or found alternatives? Is LinkedIn better or worse?
Ha ha! You always inspire me! Onward in 2026 🙌🏼
Thank you, I loved working on this special issue with you!
