Ted Cruz said he’d found $2 billion in “woke” science grants, but his team used keyword searches that flagged things out of context, like a grant to develop a device to treat severe bleeding that mentioned “victims” and “trauma.”

So it makes total and absolute sense to stop that research. This one's not an AI mistake.
He could be competent
He chooses to be this way out of hate and disdain for humanity
Holy crap
Why did I read all that dystopian fiction?
Who knew it was strategic?
Dad read horror
I read science fiction bc it was less "real"
But seriously
Didn't we believe AI would destroy the world?
Trump just pulls his string when he needs a village
idiot to distract his MAGA constituents!
“The only "trauma" and "victim" Raphael Edward Cruz has experienced is his beard trying to escape”
And Cancun Ted knows garbage well.

Here’s the problem.
Say they flag “breast” to block porn…but then it blocks breast cancer treatment info.
Someone types “child pornography.” Are they looking for it, or researching laws against it?
It's hilarious and completely on brand for Cruz to see Elon getting all the attention and think "I should copy that!"
His Republican colleague Lindsey Graham once said of Cruz:
“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”
See my blog post on Cruz.

...when the fish you're out fishing for, willingly bite single, bare hooks, deploying a net is unnecessary
Just keep tossing shiney objects at them & they'll be hooked
Quite literally killing science, one grant cut at a time.
Like watching a bunch of pig ignorant middle aged drunk white guys in a bar being asked to consider the importance of science research
"It don't affect me.."
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

Khmer Rouge cultural cleansing
sorry for yelling
If their programs are as inefficient as the people setting the code, and they end up causing planes to fall out of the sky, flagging nonsense because it has a keyword …
Let me go out and get me some sun.
Goal: New methods (for) the prepration of marine-derived chemical substances with anticancer properties
"Bad" part: widen particip'n [] by students belonging to groups that have been historically underrepresented
A “Trauma ward” is a real place where real people are saved from real death.
These people are dangerously literal & stupid.
They don't care.
Caught lying? They don't care
Harms their neighbous? Don't care
Economical devestation? Dgaf
They expect to be immune and now they feel extra empowered.
