The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

@scott-delaney.bsky.social has had a front row seat to the Trump admin’s cancellation of NIH grants I caught up with Scott as his project to track research grant terminations became real personal — and his own funds were cut 🧪 www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/n...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

NIH terminated *7* grants focused on mitigating the spread of misinformation just last week. That's half of all grants that contained the word "misinformation" in their titles in 2024. So he spreads misinformation, then prevents others from correcting it. Cool cool

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.
