🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

As Nvidia senior research manager Jim Fan put it on X: “We are living in a timeline where a non-US company is keeping the original mission of OpenAI alive — truly open, frontier research that empowers all. It makes no sense. The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.”
“There’s no overstating how profoundly this changes the whole game. And not only with regards to AI, it’s also a massive indictment of the US’s misguided attempt to stop China’s technological development…(as the saying goes, necessity is the mother of inventions).”
