It's already clear that knowledge works are going to undergo a massive restructuring (to say the least) over the next decade; many (most notably in coding) are already well under way.
And knowledge work does not preclude running a lab & doing science.

Folks at Cognition argues against building multi-agent AI systems.
The author argues that decomposing tasks for multiple agents creates more problems (like context sharing) than it solves.

Fine essay here on Bio-ML and Noetik (a startup building foundation models of tumor microenvironment)
The thesis: The future of bio-ML is using rich, multimodal data to build foundation models for complex diseases, rather than focusing on simpler problems.

Andrej's analogy game is a hard.
I really enjoyed listening to his talk on software in the age of AI. Highly recommend, if you haven't watched it already.

This is a good (video) podcast on Mech Interp, highlighting recent publications from Anthropic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YQ...
Their research aims to move beyond treating LLMs as black boxes and instead reveal their "intermediate thought processes" via attribution graphs.

Interesting, and unsurprising findings here on genAI usage at work: www.axios.com/2025/05/29/...
The speed of change is so much that, I wonder how many "leaders" are able to keep up, talk less of writing useful guidelines. Keeping up is *literally* a day job.

Plenty of this kind of stuff in the book.
