I’m curious to know your views regarding the Trump administration’s Jay Bhattacharya. ChatGPT summarizes his philosophy as not that government should stop financing scientific research, but rather that it should:
* continue to make substantial investments in basic and biomedical science,
* fund more innovative and potentially transformative projects,
* reform grant-making to reduce bias toward incremental research,
* increase transparency and accountability for taxpayer dollars, and
* foster a scientific culture that welcomes open debate.
Except that this administration isn’t doing that! I’ve spoken to a whole bunch of my friends and the funding situation is dire. And this is fundamental physics—so no politics, it’s high impact and not incremental, blah blah blah. These guys are full of it.
Feels like we’re knee deep in CP Snow here. On the bright side, there is a chance that the widespread adoption of AI will really disrupt both the legal profession and the professional consultant class.
