But like honestly though, I've seen on YouTube people funded almost entirely through commissions and patrons manage metallurgical feats previously considered impossible like the forge welding of titanium to steel. Imagine what they could do with even a fraction of Nvidia's or OpenAI's budget?

Its funny, we dont fund all these things because they're "good enough" to work. And the reason we're dumping lumps into AI is because it doesn't even do "good enough" right now but there's a lot of people that expected it to already.
Didn't realize dolphin linguistics had reached "good enough". When did that happen?

These things dont get funded because they dont make enough (or are not expected to make enough) money
What's the total amount given to AI in a year? I'm curious how many decades we could solve world hunger, provide free healthcare for the planet, AND make advancements in renewable energy.
