calibrates mass spectrometry during your lunch break
You spend years mixing volatile reagents and waiting for spectrometers to finish. Research is just repetitive data entry with more potential explosions.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still troubleshoot why a sensor failed because of a weird smell.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 13
Automated vision sensors record every lab observation without requiring your unreliable human notebook entries.
Month 9
Robotic fluid handling systems execute liquid transfers with precision far beyond your shaking hands.
Month 21
Generative models propose synthesis paths that maximize yield while ignoring your anecdotal hunches.
Year 2.9
Automated hazardous waste disposal cells eliminate the risk of you accidentally creating toxic sludge.
Year 4 · D-Day
The lab autonomously publishes your findings while you clear out your locker.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
