Teams are bolting AI onto everything they can, often without slowing down to define which problems the tools should actually solve. The result can be what some researchers now call “workslop”—AI-generated output that looks productive but doesn’t actually move anything forward. More dashboards no one looks at. More summaries no one reads. More content, less signal.

I am just so tired, and so bad at crafts. I dream of the day we can all take it down a notch without shame: skipping an event here, ignoring a made-up holiday there. What I need is a quorum. Without it, my kids will continue to feel neglected — all their friends went to the world fair, and they said the food at Venezuela was incredible — and I will continue to feel guilty, pretty much all the time, but especially when I’m staring at my ceiling at 3 a.m.
