Beg your pardon, where does this notion come from? Is this sarcasm without the tag? Virtually all scientific progress comes from academia, industry merely commercializes the last step. I can't think of any scientific field where this is not the case. And most academic scientific research in the US is funded by grants from NIH or NSF.

Do you remember the citations for those papers? I am a data scientists researching improvements on the scientific method, would love to have that example you mentioned!!

The models are selected whether they matched reality (all of the historical data since the model was published)- how is that cherry picking? I think that is a fair criterion.

The "adjusted models" had parameters changed to better model how annual human pollution has changed since the models were published. Note that they were not adjusted to arbitrarily output a higher temperature. It was a separate phenomenon from temperature. How is that invalid?

What is your argument? Of course some of the models are not going to perform well, many of them were developed when computing was relatively new and computing power was extremely limited.

I am skeptical- show me evidence that commodity prices have gone up proportionately with increases in minimum wage, or even any significant effect size. I have yet to see any data that supports this. Average price for a commodity is not even the relevant metric, it's the price of the cheapest available budget version of a commodity.

I am not an expert,what you say seems feasible, but the defensive AI would need ground-truthed datasets for training. How would these be obtained? i.e. where would you get known fakes? This process would have to be repeated if newer versions of the adversarial AI produced sufficiently different fakes.

Have you really thought about this? Do you really think price increases from UBI will universally affect all goods? It doesn't matter how the average price of all goods responds to UBI, but instead the cheapest available products for a given class of goods, the ones specifically marketed as being cheap and sold at razor thin profit margins. There is no evidence that UBI will raise prices of all goods homogeneously. The whole reason UBI could work is it will not proportionally raise the prices of the cheapest available necessary goods for survival (e.g. cheapest available rice, potatoes, toilet paper, water other basic goods).

If the drones could be deployed while airborne (without take off) then there would be no need for take off/landing equipment if they could be powered by a wireless charging method.
