Per my other reply, i am curious about the content of article and how (formerly) prominent biologists have been affected and punished. The story about carol hooven, the former harvard scientist, was especially disheartening.

richard dawkins was no creationist either. the article mentions how his award was taken away for stating his opinion. Any thoughts on that?

I wasn't going to post this article, but this part caught my attention:

"In an earlier post, I asked whether scientists might soon be forced to consider the occult as science. Perhaps some readers think the concern far-fetched. But consider: Science is as dependent on the concept of public truth as the great religions are. In an age when private truth is rapidly gaining in power, it is just as vulnerable as religion."

Feel free to downvote me.

This is a recipe for killing an industry:

"When OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm last year, it caught many power brokers in both Silicon Valley and Washington, DC, by surprise. The US government should now get advance warning of future AI breakthroughs involving large language models, the technology behind ChatGPT.

The Biden administration is preparing to use the Defense Production Act to compel tech companies to inform the government when they train an AI model using a significant amount of computing power. The rule could take effect as soon as next week.
