Didn’t Andreesen get his big break developing Mosiac at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois?
Good thing for him no one was sneering about federal funding for universities when he needed it

Yeah, there’s all the reactionary culture war stuff, where unis are meant to be hotbeds of Marxist indoctrination. But if you’re wondering why the tech-lords are leaping into the assault on unis, here you go. A vision where universities are a “government supported and funded cartel” — sucking down 🧵

Illinois is renowned worldwide as a hub of scientific research, education, and innovation.
It’s in no small part thanks to the work being done here at the UIUC’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

I've received a tip that access to NASA supercomputing services used for fundamental physics research has been disrupted. I was told in-process computation jobs were interrupted from January 22-29 and access hasn't been restored. If you're in this situation, message stevanzetti.12 on Signal.

Big Tech should have either kept calling them server farms (agricultural, quaint) or started calling them supercomputing facilities (futuristic, exciting). Data centers (whose data? why is it centralized by you?) was the worst possible choice.

Breaking NCAR apart fragments expertise, slows research, and weakens forecasting systems that directly protect lives and property. You can’t just scatter teams and expect the same results weather models, supercomputing, and long-term datasets depend on continuity.

I predict Trump will kick ELmo Musk to the curb like he did to Rex Tillerson.
But there is much more to the Trump/Musk/Saudi Arabia team than meets the eye.
AI Supercomputing and raiding our military IP.
Only big oil players have supercomputing next to the global superpowers.
Be very aware.

"Without NCAR’s infrastructure + supercomputing abilities, many small colleges & universities wouldn’t be able to do research with the latest models. NCAR research influences every piece of weather & climate prediction in the US: air quality, droughts, hurricanes + more." - @carlonimbus.bsky.social
NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.

“NCSA” is the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The internet you know is a *government project*. Andreessen doesn’t talk about this so much.
NSF paid marc andreessen's salary when he was writing NCSA Mosaic, then let him walk with the concept (and code, maybe? I forget) and start Netscape.
it's evocative of the government agency most directly responsible for the existence of cryptocurrency and "AI" is being destroyed by people who are mindlessly obsessed with tearing things down in favor of cryptocurrency and "AI"
