  6. Welcome to the future, where AI agents hunt down alleged online copyright infringement

    As readers of this blog have doubtless noticed, the latest hot tech – and investment – area involves “agentic AI”, where AI systems are allowed to operative autonomously on allocated tasks. There’s no doubt there are some exciting possibilities here, as well as some troubling issues concerning lack of control. It’s a rapidly-evolving area of research and experimentation, which makes […]

    nytimes.com/2026/04/27/climate

    "The agency’s prestigious research office spent decades doing scientific work insulated from political pressure…For more than a half-century, [it] did groundbreaking research aimed at saving American lives. It studied fertility, asthma, wildfires, drinking water, climate change and myriad other health threats. In just one year, it has been almost completely dismantled."

  21. "Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year."
    washingtonpost.com/science/202
    (#paywalled)

    "A Washington Post analysis found that through March 31, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health [#NIH] is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. Biomedical funding has also undergone a shift, the analysis found, cutting the U.S. research footprint across nearly every major disease area - including fewer grants focused on women’s health, cancer and mental health. Overall, the NIH supported over 2,700 fewer scientific projects in fiscal 2025, about a 15 percent cut in the number of competitive grants compared with the previous fiscal year."
