Why does profit matter? . . . but I am generally in favor of research and development of any technology. In most research it’s hard to predict the future applications.
Answered your own question there.
If we weren’t hard wired to justify existence in capital there wouldn’t be so much occlusive hype around it.
Can’t argue with that. It is almost entirely a cash grab that is astonishing in its overreach and astounding in its apparent failure.

More profit does not equal more research and development, since there’s an awful lot of development happening despite the lack of profit.
I won’t speculate on the failure of the technology because I don’t know what was supposed to be achieved on what timeline.
But I’ll agree the industry is ripe with shit marketing and overselling/misrepresentating its current capabilities, because of capitalism.
