“Labeling that grant as woke because it puts like 2% of its total funds towards a K-12 outreach program seems like a mistake to me.”
It’s a mistake if it’s meant to show the grant is bad, and I suspect that Larks has political views that I would very strongly disagree with, but I think it does successfully make the narrow point that the data about NSF grants does not show that an AI designed to identify pro-woke or pro-Hamas language will be bad at doing so.
FWIW the point that I was trying to make (however badly) was that the government clearly behaved in a way that had little regard for accuracy, and I don’t see incentives for them to behave any differently here

Yeah, I agree with the more general point.
