Except nothing here is hindering the ability of scientists to develop whatever new technologies they want in their labs.

You're being sensationalistic. They're not banning super computers. AI research isn't facing an existential threat.

It’s quite hard to make any suggestion to a researcher these days, especially AI researchers who think they know it all.

Even calling research work as “research” is not well received many times :)

This is one of the reasons I’d like this bubble to burst soon, so that we can focus on applying the resources we got efficiently, rather than pursing - many times pointless - “bleeding-edge” research.
