Great piece which I will save and reread. I am one of those benighted academics that occasionaly struggles with submitting research papers. It is getting better: all in one pdfs are becoming the norm. What is really difficult are the sheer numbers of papers you are asked to review now, given the torrent of submissions.

On top of this are constant demands for information on x, y, or from all sorts of places.

Your piece conspicuously avoids mention of ChatGPT. I can imagine it being trained on academic and corporate intranets. Suddenly the bing of emails, slack etc. will give way to the chatbots providing answers and reporting layers will be disintermediated. How do you see this developing?

I don’t know! I expect it will have positive and negative effects depending on the applications orgs select it for, per Bloom. So the variance could be high.

I should also mention that Don Moynihan has a substack focused on administrative burdens and their costs. I believe some of his work has been taken on board by US GOV in recent laws.

Thanks for this piece. So much of this resonates with my experience. A bit depressing though - much focus on the diagnostic. A follow-up piece on potential solutions please!!!
