Post docs is the base that AI was born from...

We still need post docs. What will change is their specializations.

That's why nobody writes their paper on gravity or polio in 2026.

I'm still using a laptop from 2013. It's an HP EliteBook with a third generation i7.

Graphics processing is beat by any new laptop or even a phone, but good old processing power can load a web site in the same time.

People just want to get to their next destination faster.

Long story short: More public transport sounds like a good idea to prevent more situations like you posted.

All of the issues with AI generated content can be explained further and in-depth because it has such a unique fingerprint in the pacing, verbosity, long-winded explanations, etc.. It also shows lack of effort. Just give me the prompt and the findings, I can write the article.

AI slop is a category and is categorically irritating to read, and not worth reading.
