The aim of justice is for us to be at home and reconciled in our social world. The problem of poverty is about much more than failing to meet basic needs, but fundamentally about lacking basic recognition and respect.

I have heard many prophecies about AI lately but one is clear:
AI will make a positive impact on government if, and only if, it increases public trust in information and institutions.

After 3+ years, today is the day that my book “The Worlds I See” gets to see the world itself. It is a science memoir of the intertwining histories of me becoming an #AI scientist, and the making of the modern AI itself. All versions are now on Amazon a.co/d/fYKf74L 1/

Almost all of the federal funding to universities goes to STEM and biomedical research.
The amount going to social science is a rounding error, and to humanities (including social criticism), it's essentially zero.
STEM research in universities is the root of *all* the technologies your companies are based on.
Do you really want to kill the golden goose?
Note: HHS funding mostly goes to medical research and life science through NIH.
Cutting those funds wouldn't just kill the golden goose. It would kill people.
