From time to time, I read articles on the boundary between neural nets and knowledge graphs like a recent [1]. Sadly, no mention of Cyc.

I'd bet, judging mostly from my failed attempts at playing with OpenCyc around 2009, is that the Cyc has always been too closed and to complex to tinker with. That doesn't play nicely with academic work. When people finish their PhDs and start working for OpenAI, they simply don't have Cyc in their toolbox.
