Congress' proposal to decrease funding to the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program at a critical moment for emerging technology competition is not a good idea.
The pivot of some AI research to open source (e.g. LLaMA) suggests the barriers to entry to compute will have parallels to other distributed hardware projects (e.g. folding@home). Compute doesn't always need localized advanced hardware, but access (e.g thin clients) to retain the most talent.
