<< It's ridiculous how much attention and handwringing there was about Wikileaks and Snowden
The two situations are very, very different for reasons that should be relatively obvious. Musk ( via Trump ) has actual mandate to do that.
<< You can put aside any of the questions about the constitutionality of funding, this is an absurd breach of national security, both in terms of the INFSEC/IT aspect but also in terms of him casually shining spotlights on projects he knows nothing about and knows nothing of the consequences of disclosure.
This may be one point I am kinda agreeing with you on.
<< To me it's performative empty arrogance with real security consequences, both for the people whose personal information was accessed but also for national intelligence and military strategies and methods.
Maybe.. just maybe.. some of those methods should be revised in light of day.
<< Yes, I would want the department of defense to be funding research in this area.
I am genuinely of two minds about it so the question is why you think it is a good idea especially given that you also stated the following:
<< I would not expect anyone to glean anything useful about said research from a title entry in a grants database, or maybe from anything in the grant description.
Either it is ok to fund it, because you think it is a good idea or you don't know what it is and still think it is a good idea. I can accept one of those propositions.
