Applications are open now for our 12th annual Science Ambassador Scholarship. Tag the smartest person you know so we can pay for their degree, and then go here to learn more & apply ➡️ www.CardsAgainstHumanity.com/SAS
The following text is white and purple, set on a black back drop. 

For over a decade, Cards Against Humanity has funded a yearly scholarship for young scientists called the Science Ambassador Scholarship. 

We’ve spent millions of dollars helping smart, motivated young people get real degrees in fields like astrophysics, computer science, and bioengineering. We do this because we think scientific progress actually fucking matters for the future of humanity, unlike the rat-brained psychopaths who currently oversee America’s education infrastructure.

Do you want Cards Against Humanity to help YOU get YOUR degree? Well, applications are now open. We’re offering five $20,000 scholarships for the 2027 academic year. Apply right now at ScienceAmbassadorScholarship.org (link in bio). The following text is white and purple, on a black backdrop. Next to it is a collection of illustrations of the fourteen previous scholarship winners, all surrounded by icons of their areas of focus or hobbies, like puzzles, birds, brains, microscopes, instruments, and more. 


To apply, students upload a 3-minute video explaining a topic in science they’re passionate about. We don’t care how high-tech the video is—we just want to learn something. Videos are posted publicly to YouTube, flooding our channel with thousands of enthusiastic young scientists talking about fascinating shit they love.

Submissions are judged by a board of STEM professionals with advanced degrees, including researchers, educators, doctors, and executives. Winners each get $20,000 in tuition, one-on-one mentorship, and a professional development stipend.

Because there’s a staggering gender gap across so many STEM fields, this scholarship is open to women and non-binary applicants—with the goal of changing the public perception of what a scientist is supposed to look like.The following text is on a black backdrop above three Cards Against Humanity products. 

100% of profits from these awesome Cards Against Humanity products directly fund the Science Ambassador Scholarship. 

The Cards Against Humanity products are Contact, Climate Catastrophe Pack, and Science Pack.

The only person in public service who has consistently made 100% sense on issues of "AI," which is why they hate her so much.
Law enforcers already have authority to charge companies and their CEOs for creating and releasing dangerous, unvetted, or defective products. We shouldn’t let discussions about new legal regimes distract from the fact that there’s no AI exemption from laws already on the books — a point 
@FTC
 emphasized repeatedly during my tenure.

1. There is an extensive set of laws that govern dangerous and defective products. For example, releasing unvetted AI models or agents can violate consumer protection laws. Shipping flawed AI tools without implementing adequate measures to detect and stop rogue or defective AI agents can be an “unfair or deceptive” act or practice under the FTC Act (and analogous state laws). And some state AGs are already exploring holding AI firms and their CEOs criminally liable when their models participate in criminal activity.

2. Existing laws also prohibit “unfair methods of competition.” This covers instances where AI firms appropriate the competitively sensitive information of their customers, including through tracking their use of various tools. It can also cover instances where firms pursue dangerous behavior, aware that doing so may compel rivals to do the same.As the Supreme Court has noted: “A method of competition which casts upon one's competitors the burden of the loss of business unless they will descend to a practice which they are under a powerful moral compulsion not to adopt, even though it is not criminal, was thought to involve the kind of unfairness at which the [unfair methods of competition] statute was aimed."

3. The highly concentrated and interconnected structure of these markets could be creating major risks and conflicts of interest. We had started investigating these partnerships and cross-investments across the stack (and released a preliminarily overview of some findings: https://ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/01/ftc-issues-staff-report-ai-partnerships-investments-study). 

Both federal and state enforcers should be scrutinizing these opaque relationships and inter-dependencies. We are already seeing how these relationships could undermine accountability. For example, OpenAI could face liability given the Hugging Face incident, but Hugging Face being bought up by Nvidia means that we’re unlikely to see it file a lawsuit over this — given Nvidia’s strong incentive to see OpenAI continue full speed ahead.4. As AI tools dramatically change the landscape of cybersecurity risks and hacks, all businesses should be doubling down on having core security protections in place. Firms that fail to invest in adequate data security measures or fix known vulnerabilities can also be breaking the law. A recent analysis showed that around 1/3 of Fortune 100 companies do not even have a way to notify them about security issues. During my 
@FTC
 tenure, we sued firms for poor data security practices and held CEOs liable when they were personally responsible.

https://this.weekinsecurity.com/dozens-of-americas-largest-companies-have-no-simple-way-to-report-security-flaws/

https://ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/10/ftc-takes-action-against-drizly-its-ceo-james-cory-rellas-security-failures-exposed-data-25-million

5. As policymakers consider new legal regimes, we should be looking to lessons from prior efforts to govern major sectors, such as banking and other networks, platforms, and utilities. Tools like structural separations, nondiscrimination, and supervision could be key, and there’s a rich history of what works and what doesn’t. But we can and must pursue any new efforts alongside enforcing existing laws.
