The Carpentries train researchers in digital and coding skills - allowing them to use computational methods, because universities often aren't placed to do this themselves.
In a time when the only organisations that can train huge models are those that can afford the compute time, we need more people with the skills to evaluate them and find their weaknesses.
We need to find a way to fund the Carpentries or we will have a generation of researchers who won't have the computational research skills needed to keep Big Tech accountable.
