An important point getting overlooked:
When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies.
They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

@mcuban.bsky.social This recent FB post was from my wife’s experience at NIH recently. She has the same rare disease that took our son. NIH is a national treasure.

You probably already know that generative AI amplifies stereotypes and bias, but how bad is it? For months at @wired.com we’ve been interviewing experts and testing OpenAI’s Sora.

OpenAI’s Sora Is Plagued by Sexist, Racist, and Ableist Biases
