Why is it, in this most 'intelligent' of ages, I cannot get my calendars to sync up? Looking at you, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

Who has heard this? "NASA and the U.S. National Institutes of Health have begun enforcing new policies that appear to prevent authors from publishing scientific journal articles with non-U.S. coauthors."

China’s investment in research & development has reached parity with – and by purchasing power measures has surpassed – that of the U.S. @OhioState Professor @CarolineSWagner details the broad implications in this piece republished from @ConversationUS: news.osu.edu/china-surpasses…

Science is how we’ve cured diseases and how we just sent four humans around the Moon. It’s a big reason why we’re the greatest country on Earth, but firing the National Science Board shows just how much Trump doesn’t understand that.
Caroline Wagner retweeted
The Trump administration has downsized US science by historic margins — but it's not just via grant or workforce cuts.
Our new @nature analysis reveals the government has cut more than 100 scientific advisory panels across all major science agencies.
The National Science Board can and should continue to meet. U.S. science is under attack, and not from China... from within our own government. theconversation.com/china-su…

trump just quietly wiped out the National Science Board.
Not a few seats.
The whole board.
Fired by email.
Zero explanation.
They oversee the National Science Foundation, the essential pipeline for billions in US research.
In case you don’t know what they actually do.
They-
Set priorities.
Help decide what gets funded.
Make sure it’s based on science and not politics.
That funding helped drive-
MRI tech.
GPS.
The internet.
Medical breakthroughs.
These seats are staggered so no one president can flip the direction overnight.
That guardrail is now gone.
Now it comes down to who replaces them and whether science stays independent or gets even more political.
We won’t feel this tomorrow.
We’ll feel it when the next breakthrough never shows up.
U.S. science--one of civilizations greatest achievements--is being destroyed right under our noses... we need to stand up for science. theconversation.com/china-su…

This 2 hour lecture by Yann LeCun (Turing Award winner) will teach you why the next trillion dollar AI company won't be built on LLMs.
He trashes the $100 Billion LLM race, attacks Musk and Amodei, declares scaling dead.
