Research where the conclusions are known beforehand is not research, it is propaganda. This Orwellian attempt to dictate reality a far more serious crisis than the funding cuts. Science can handle layoffs, it can't handle corruption.
Linda McMahon: "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

My mother telling me it's fine because "the stock market goes down sometimes."
Yeah mom... But it's down to where it was a year ago. That's a year of interest lost. Unless it rebounds super fast I would've been better off with that money in a HYSA instead of an IRA.
And this was DELIBERATE.

Machine learning models are a mixed bag for tech questions.
Ask a model an obscure technology question and will it give you the answer? Most definitely not.
Will it lie to you? Likely.
Will it give you some paths to go down if you're at a dead end? Probably.
Is that worth it? I'm not sure.
