collapses your entire career into a simulation
Observes celestial bodies using remote telescopes and runs complex Python simulations on high-performance compute clusters to model galactic evolution.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still defend a counter-intuitive hypothesis during a hostile peer review session.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Vision models autonomously ingest and clean raw telescope data feeds without requiring manual script intervention.
Month 6
Large language models generate statistically perfect grant proposals that match institutional funding priorities with surgical precision.
Month 12
Autonomous agents perform data analysis and synthesize findings into peer-reviewed articles within minutes of observations.
Month 18
Intelligent resource schedulers optimize cluster usage, eliminating the need for human input in managing high-performance computing jobs.
Year 2 · D-Day
The department retires the postdoc position as the AI autonomously maps the universe from its server rack.
