the modern professor's feeling of warm relief and gratitude at encountering artisanal, human-crafted bad writing while grading papers

3) AI is not itself creative or productive without a human in the loop. If the job can be entirely done by AI, rather than the AI just being a tool to speed up a human's work, the job is a waste of time, does not need to be done, and a competent manager should eliminate that job.

2) AI is already leading to new BS jobs. The deluge of AI slop is proof enough of that.

Ok, I'll bite.
1) This is an oversimplification. Bullshit jobs arise for a variety of reasons. Some will be retained, some will be automated away.
2) AI will lead to a variety of new BS jobs.
3) If the job can be done with current AI, it didn't need to be done and is BS.

A good test of whether people actually believe specific academic theories is if they use them to argue against other fashionable ideas when they conflict, even if the new position's lower status. Anyone who believes Graeber's Bullshit Jobs argument should also be pretty vocal right now that companies will not be at all interested in replacing workers with AI.

.@DRG_physics: can I get your help with a statistics thing?
Me: yes, absolutely
Toddler: can I help too?

Low stimulation entertainment idea for your toddler:
Put on the cricket.
They could watch for 5 days and receive no stimulation whatsoever.

.@FiPanther asked me for a very specific recipe book for Christmas.
Today I learned it's the one with THE beef Wellington recipe.
Should I be worried?

I roll my eyes not because you're wrong but because you think you're funny.

I never understood when adults couldn’t figure out the correct name for characters on kids shows, but @DRG_physics reaction to referring incorrectly to one of the Octonauts as ‘professor tentacles’ is why I’ve committed to the bit.

Every song on Brothers in Arms is incredible - the album has a very special place in my heart, and ‘Walk of Life’ was played after the marriage certificate signing when @DRG_physics and I walked back down the aisle together at our wedding. Great interview!!

@DRG_physics @OfficialBlueyTV And yet you eat my cooking every day 🤔

Successful relationships require setting expectations. Tonight I told @FiPanther that, while I will do many things for her, I will not make the sacrifice Bandit does in this episode of Bluey @OfficialBlueyTV.
