#PARC joins forces with #StanfordResearchInstitute #SRI #SRIInc to form one of the largest #CS #AI #Tech research non-profits.
Research at a non-profit, that is funded by the public, supports science that is conducted in good faith, is accessible, and is for the social, communal good.
I am so very excited!
I am also very grateful that market pressures don't pull my research in random directions.

@shiwali congratulations, I think!
we certainly need more research outside the crushing weight of profit-seeking
Yes!! While there are reasonable concerns about how taxes flow into #tech (especially #AI) research, I think the landscape is evolving.
#ARPA_H #ARPA_C are great initiatives to ensure that scientific progress supports the public.
Scientists have to make choices though - working at a non-profit also means you are working at a salary lower than the market.
@trochee Yeah. It is painfully obvious and it has been challenging to not be just $).
But, the recent 'commitment' to #AGI that scientists have been forced to make at large tech, has convinced me that I made the right choice.
I am also very privileged that I am in a two-income household and was allowed to move to Seattle - Bay area housing would have been an impossibility for us.
