If as an academic institution, you are disallowing students and faculty from downloading python libraries to do their science in the name of security, then you are well on the path to irrelevance in the science and engineering space.
Brand name publication = peacock's tail. It's wasteful and harmful, but it grows and persists because it's favored by the selection process.

I’m begging academics who are generally interested in AI use for academic purposes and for application in their own scholarship to do the necessary research on the energy consumption of such technologies. Being knowledgeable of the harms is a reasonable expectation.

Ooooof... The potential for damage to American science here is manifold. We are already spending a tiny fraction of the GDP that we spent in the 1960s that made America a superpower. Science is already struggling in so many places, and this budget does further damage.

@DKThomp So many comments focused on whether there are too many administrators, so few focused on why tenured faculty are being replaced by adjuncts.
Every time I agree to work the polls, I’m thinking about the neighbors I will to talk to, free hoagies I’ll eat, & $200 Then the night before I think ha ha what time do I have to be there tomorrow (thinking, idk 8am?). That is when the horror hits. It’s 6:30 Dear God it’s 6:30
I just took a Zoom call from my outdoor trampoline. I had the video off. I was so excited - jumping, flipping, giggling, - until my team (of like 20 people) said, "AMY WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?". It turns out I'd forgotten to mute myself. 😫

You can apply cold and, with a strong resume and cover letter, get an interview. But since there are many unknowns in all this, you have a better chance if someone the hiring manager trusts recommends you. Remind people you're searching, and get to know others in your industry.
