It's surprisingly poorly worded. At no point does it define what you mean by the word "sector" 🧐 I can see how this nuance would have been lost over days of negotiating on small details, but it's kind of important to define what sectors we're talking about up front, yes?

AI currently appears to be having a minimal impact on science, although it is attracting an outsized amount of attention and resources, which could represent long-term danger to funding infrastructure. Would you like me to expand on these ideas? 😉

I was thinking the other day what a pisspoor effort the whole SG site is: 8 months in, there are barely a handful of papers with >1 comment, and most of the content is agricultural sciences. It ain't "fully verified" as claimed, either. Lots of pseudonyms making comments. So lame 😒
