There is absolutely no point to us doing science if people aren’t at the center of the scientific story. And in the case of particle physics and cosmology, there is no argument that we need the intervention of GenAI to speed things up. None. At all. The universe will be fine if we don’t go faster.

More broadly I’ve heard a variety of comments from physicists (not the blogger) that are along the lines of: “we don’t even need students anymore” and “what’s the point of hiring students anymore” and it’s really hard not to reply “it’s our job to train the next generation you stupid, selfish fuck”
