Nearly every mechanism that made my career possible—Ford, NSF, Harvard BiGS—is gone or on the way to the chopping block.
This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

Why is Microsoft pushing Gen AI crap into Windows and Microsoft 365, etc.?
Because massive corporations no longer make consumer products for consumer desires, needs.
Consumer products are now weapons to spy on you to make shareholders and fascism happy.

Shootings in DC are down substantially from where they were a few years ago having fallen steadily since mid-2023. Gun violence fell briefly in the wake of the National Guard + Federal law enforcement deployment but has largely returned to its pre-intervention level over the last few weeks.

It has been pointed out to me that this means 2.5 billion-dollar AI music company Suno has spent less money on music than many individual music fans
Billboard got access to Suno’s investment pitch deck.
It revealed that Suno has spent $32 million on compute, and $2,000 on training data.
Let that sink in.
