Trump’s new executive order promises to transform discovery through artificial intelligence, but at what cost to ethics, the environment, and human inquiry?
And then politicians should not be in charge of any kind of science research that should be scientist. Only Trump is not a scientist. He’s not even a good politician. He should not be in charge of anything to deal with the science sorry.
AI has an identical impact on resources i.e. land, water, power, infrastructure etc. as crypto. But like many disruptive technologies they have boom and bust cycles. There's a bubble coming. The bad part is the taxpayers are going to get stuck with bailing out billionaires. Again.
We have already seen Musk and this administration wreak havoc on government agencies. Now we are seeing wholesale destruction of medical research and basic research in the nation’s premier institutions. Genesis smells of oligarchy. Beware the temptations of speed and ambition minus responsibility.

If this project gives us the same rigorous level of scientific inquiry as our Department of Health and Human Services ….

You are exactly right. It would be easy (we've seen it with Grok) to program and train to produce convenient results, and call it proof.
The government is acting like the “sorcerer's apprentice” in Goethe's poem.
I am also convinced that this will mark the end of independent science, even though I know that dependencies already exist.
Thank you, Jordan. How interesting! I'll dig in
