Sure. I’m fine with discernment. That’s why we have peer review, grant committees, and an entire structure designed to promote important research— like next-gen AI and natural language research.

Why do you feel you are so expert in AI research that you can declare this project wasteful— simply because one possible application is search engines? All AI research has the potential to improve search engines.

it is a wasteful application of stimulus funds. it may very well be an excellent project, deserving of grants and funds through normal channels designed to fund such projects.

what is your experience with basic, government-funded science research?
