13. That is so much of the industry now

This is the shit thriving under these guys underpants .
Crypto, these lousy prediction markets, influencing, those lame LLMs/Agents..

Meanwhile they got rid of most of the federal govt, even some of NIST, cancer research etc.

And all using excuses like: DEI!!!! Whatever your views on DEI (or really I should say “DEI”. Jamie Dimon etc should not be allowed to associate themselves with anything but robber baron hood. Woke capitalism is the enemy of woke), in point of fact a lot of the work the GOP/Trump defund is just hard science research.

Zuckerberg etc probably prefer that medical research is administered by his moll via Chan Zuckerberg than govt funded scientists beholden to no one etc.
