On a side note, what is your take on AVIF vs WebP? I recently moved my site to 11ty and looking to re-encode several hundreds of images. I do want to keep the quality of the photos as much as I can, while reducing the network load.
I think there is a fundamental idea that the only way to measure success of companies is the monetary value to shareholders. US companies optimize for that and they cannot believe other countries/cultures would have a different value system.
I do not remember where I read this, but it has struck with me for the last 35+ years - "Poverty is a crime, but the poor are not guilty of it".
I have seen abject poverty growing up in India.. It is right in your face most of the times. I have friends from the other side of the street and pretty much, you live in very different realities.
Looking at the graph in the article, it starts falling off from 2010 and it is actually on a uptick in last year. A honest reading would be that internet has increased access to information and AI is obfuscating it again.

ThirdAI (thirdai.com) | Houston, Bangalore, or remote | Full time | Senior Software Engineers
We are a startup building high performance machine learning systems on CPUs. Our core technologies are hash-based algorithms that accelerate neural network training and high dimensional near neighbor search. We are a new and well funded company (we just raised $6M of seed funding), and already have more customer interest than we know what to do with. We pride ourselves on a collaborative, open, and idea heavy culture. Our perks are great, including 401K matching, free lunches, and substantial equity.
For location, remote works, as long as you can travel some days of the month to our office in central Houston or Bangalore.
We are looking for engineers with 3+ years of experience building and shipping high performance systems. Machine learning, C++ and Rust experiences are a big plus, and definitely tell us about any AI publications you have, we’re interested! If building a new set of machine learning algorithms from scratch sounds fun to you, get in touch! Feel free to email me vaidhy [at] thirdai.com. Our website is under active reconstruction using Hugo (that’s how early stage we are), but feel free to find out more about us at https://www.thirdai.com
By definition, this is impossible to achieve. Assume that some person says I want what everyone else has. There is no post scarcity. It is better to think of it as meeting a set of pre-defined needs. These needs can change over time. for e.g., internet access. But framing it as wanting everything I could possibly imagine is a straw-man.
