Thanks, that is interesting!
>> So (11508 websites * 2^16 sha256 operations) / 2^21, that’s about 6 minutes to mine enough tokens for every single Anubis deployment in the world. That means the cost of unrestricted crawler access to the internet for a week is approximately $0.
>> In fact, I don’t think we reach a single cent per month in compute costs until several million sites have deployed Anubis.
Apes are also not whales.

And there we go. That's an us problem and not a them problem.

There are several interviews with native tribes who still practice hunting and gathering and that's the exact thing they worry about. Those humans are identical to us. But by your argument, "civilized" humans are more exceptional than these groups of humans?
Humans still have these basic needs and worries and thoughts. Just because we layer meta-societal pieces on top of that doesn't make them go away.
What makes humans different is technology. That does not make us different in an inherently exceptional way.
Partly, but that's a side effect. What makes us different are the mental faculties that give rise to technology (and many other fields).
NaCL? Mozilla won this one. Wasm is a continuation of asm.js.
Dart? It now compiles to Wasm but has mostly failed to replace js while Typescript filled the niche.
Sure, Google didn’t care much for XML. They had a proper replacement for communication and simple serialisation internally in protobuf which they never actually try to push for web use. Somehow json ended up becoming the standard.
I personally don’t give much credit to the theory of Google as a mastermind patiently under minding the open web for years via the standards.
Now if we talk about how they have been pushing Chrome through their other dominant products and how they have manipulated their own products to favour it, I will gladly agree that there is plenty to be said.

There is no mentioning of "looking"
And, of course, neither are paradoxes. They're just math that can seem paradoxical if you don't look closely at it.
