calibrates interferometers in total darkness
You spend years building fragile optical setups only to collect data that inevitably contradicts your hypothesis. Then you write grant proposals begging for more funding.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively guess which loose cable is making the cryostat hum funny.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Sensors and agents ingest raw oscilloscope streams to eliminate manual logbook entries.
Month 5
AI-managed pressure loops stabilize cooling systems without requiring human intervention.
Month 14
Vision-guided robotic arms align mirrors faster than your shaking hands ever could.
Year 2.3
Large language models hallucinate more persuasive research narratives than your actual data supports.
Year 4 · D-Day
The lab is fully autonomous and no longer requires a living witness to reality.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
