I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

And still it forms the central cogs in the corporate machine.

In Norway we only have the red ones. Shy small things that run to climb up a tree when you approach. You’re lucky to see one.

I saw the grey ones first time when I visited Oxford. Students were sitting in the grass, and a hundred squirrels just ran around in-between them. Very different creatures indeed.

Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓

The statement in the title is absurd, but I believe it. If we’re cut off, I wouldn’t be able to use mail, attend 50% of my meetings, or access any project files.
