It feels like DARPA has fallen so far. In a post-Salt Typhoon era it's really hard to imagine them as dynamic, best-in-class innovators anymore.

This administration doesn't really prioritize anything that has to do with intelligence, so advanced research was obviously going to fall by the wayside.

What are you saying? Do you think my claim was that all US research programs have closed up shop?

No search results for "Salt Typhoon" as the query. This nation really is fucked.
