To take what is an official pronouncement from the White House as a semblance of truth is a political stance as indicated by all actions heretofore by said administration being exposed as rationalizations for desired outcome. Maybe next time if they have so many ideas, write out a coherent alternative plan that some future administration could implement instead of jumping on this bandwagon with “individualism good”. This guy may be much smarter than me but he didn’t read it, the testimony in front of Congress was more revealing yesterday, too. The report mainly wants to increase funding for AI and decrease biology and medical research, the pesky stuff that can point out basic truths that might contradict doctrine - he was intentionally vague when giving testimony. Research funding could have been reformed but this is not it, the report reads more like something Thiel would have approved.

Says the man with a professorship in a public university in the most socialist and bureaucratic of Canadian provinces. A man whose "research" is to use public money towards improving performance on proprietary, patented, commercial computer architectures instead of developing general, broadly-applicable ideas. There is definitely merit to reconsidering how science is funded, but the hypocrisy exhibited here is… tabarnak!

>Except perhaps in the domain of computing (“bits”), we have been largely stagnant technologically since about the 1970s

This reveals a profound ignorance of basically all modern technology.

aka, replace real science with infomercials, cults, pseudoscience and bullshit MLMs

lol
