Corporate research spending is nearly $1T/yr. Yes, corporations have a lower risk tolerance than the government, but that's not always a bad thing.

Not just risk tolerance - they also have different (generally much more short-sighted) incentives.
I kind of wonder how much of that money being reported is really research vs gamed numbers? eg for taxation claim purposes and things along those lines.
Especially interested in data from Alphabet (e.g., from ongoing legal battles?)
(I'd assume Amazon & Microsoft are too clever, too well-run for their own good/our eptification)
