University admin at some point cleary thought to themselves, "human resources is insufficiently dystopian, we really ought to come up with something better." After years of meetings, they congratulated themselves on a job well done. "Yes," they purred, "'people strategy' is so much worse."

💂‍♂️Hello, this is OfGov how may I help you today?
🧙‍♂️Hi! Thanks. Its quite simple, my appointed political representative isn't actually representing my views or interests these days so I'd like to switch to a new one please.
💂‍♂️Okay, certainly sir. No problem. We can get that changed for you by the next working day. Have you decided who your next representative will be, or are you voting for yourself for a while?
🧙‍♂️Oh, I haven't got time for all that. I would like my representative to be John Jones from the Pirate Party please.
💂‍♂️Of course sir. I see he's had three thousand extra constituents added just this month.
🧙‍♂️Yes, his argument about copyright was very persuasive, I'm sure I'm among many changing their reps today.
💂‍♂️His voting power in parliament will be increased accordingly by the vote on the copyright issue next week. Is there anything else I can do for your today sir?
🧙‍♂️No, no, thanks. That's fine.
💂‍♂️Have a good day sir, Mr Jone's vote-weight will be changed to represent you at midnight. Do call again if you change your mind.

I think it is an illusion that we mathematicians are all these unicorns with our blackboards who do this mathemagic.
Turns out, 80% of what we do can be automated. Does it follow that 80% of us will be out of our jobs now? I think yes.
Btw, I think this also applies to industry jobs because what we train, to gather all the relevant facts for a problem, structuring, making an excel sheet, systematically going through available information, dealing with uncertainty. AI is pretty good at that.
