I want to stress, these sort of projects have immense value, but I also suspect that pretending they’re something that can be used, a radish, is actually hurting the research, or rocket ship if you’re keeping track. Now instead of researchers doing weird research things, you have community meetings filled with developer advocates trying to make sure their company gets in on the ground floor. Is this a problem with the companies funding this research wanting to pretend it’s something more real, or is it the large conferences looking for more “real world” focused solutions instead of research that won’t go anywhere for decades?
