On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.
AI-assisted engineers are burning out, is this fine?—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
AI-assisted code generation is not free. It comes with a hidden cost: burnout. Are we dangerously ignorant to this problem? And how can we cope with it? In this post, we discuss this question.
Human scientists trounce the best AI agents on complex tasks
State-of-the-industry report finds that, despite the limitations of artificial-intelligence systems, researchers have embraced them.
Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t
Coding agents as normal technology
AI is doing something weird to Science
In both good and bad ways, and it won't go away.

AI labs’ all-or-nothing race leaves no time to fuss about safety
They have ideas about how to restrain wayward models, but worry that doing so will disadvantage them
Why are workers so worried about AI? Listen to how business leaders talk about it
Concerns about AI pushing humans out of jobs may be a bit overstated, but the anxiety being felt by workers related to technology is real and nuanced.
AI Is a Waste of Time
The newest AI tools are accelerating basic research and scaring the general public. But many people are simply using them as toys.

the correct take on the AI risks. not "godlike machine that decides to kill us all" but "machine that makes it much easier for humans to kill one another." from the very sensible @timnitGebru in Wired: https://t.co/wM0ucsN2no pic.twitter.com/vtHQ02my0G— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) September 13, 2026
The politics and possibilities of ‘AI could kill us all’
AI will not exterminate the human race. But what big tech really *is* doing is bad enough that the notion may help fuel the movement against it.
Companies rushed in on AI. Now some are pulling back
Rapid AI adoption left workers cleaning up a flood of errors and low-quality work
