Well, agreed! I'd say that's good evidence the political bureaucracy of big-Science has substantially corrupted that (your?) culture.

It's not the only way though. There's a bright light coming from open source. Stay close to the people in AI saying "code, weights and methods or it didn't happen"

The code that runs most of the net ships with lengthy howto guides that are kept up to date, thorough automated testing in support of changes/experimentation, etc. Experienced programmers who run across a project without this downgrade their valuation accordingly

It doesn't solve all problems, but it does show there's a way that's being actively cultivated by a culture that is changing the world
