DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT ‘Is This DEI?’
Federal grants that had been approved after a full application and review process were terminated by some random inexperienced DOGE bros based on whether ChatGPT could explain—in under 120 characters—that they were "related to DEI." That's what the newly released proposed amended complaint from the Authors Guild against the US government reveals about how DOGE actually decided which National Endowment for the Humanities grants to kill.

It is time for the editors of PNAS, J. Geology, and J. Glaciology to step up with the same professionalism exhibited by PLOS One. There is more than enough evidence for similar (or worse) problems with YDIH papers in those Journals, and they are also documented on PubPeer. pubpeer.com/search?q=YDIH

13 years ago #today, a small (~18 meter diameter) asteroid impacted over #Chelyabinsk, Russia, and exploded at 22 km altitude, shattering windows and damaging some buildings. Thousands of small (and a few larger) fragments like these rained down. It was the largest impact of the last 100 years.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
