It’s sad isn’t (wasn’t) such a professor as a waste of money? I mean the market dictates what we get, with some influential persons and companies, but it’s all chance.

Why do we have these well paid professors working on stuff like this?

I think if we feel that we do need them, they should be laser focused on making sure there are societal benefits to tech. Not “working on cool stuff”.

Or is this no longer happening?

It’s your/our (tax) money. The money of the people.
