Blurred Lines
The lines between research and industry in AI are a bit blurry at the moment.
Habit
It’s hard sometimes. Kids, obligations, expectations. Etc.
Constancy of Change
Behind the scenes, things are improving.
Perspective
Maybe, instead of asking “What jobs will AI replace?” we should ask “What jobs will AI improve?”
Workplaces
I’ve written a few times about borrowing from manual/industrial jobs to inform knowledge work. But there are also key differences.
Specialization

Leading or Lagging
Some of the most important pieces of feedback you receive as an academic are lagging indicators.
Efficiencies
Technological development is great for increasing efficiency. There are pros and cons to this.
