> A clearly understood goal > A common set of values in pursuit of that goal
The only time when i have seen this to be true is when people don't have to work for money and when they believe that their basic needs (maslow's hierarchy's bottom 2 layers) have been taken care of forever (FIRE). That's when they truly work for a shared set of goals/values
Isn't the entire deal with LLMs that they are trained as megaliths? How can bespoke modelling overcome the treasure trove of knowledge that megaliths can generically bring in, even in bespoke scenarios?
This network is sustainable and running on established blockchains which have been running for over a decade now - ETH.
This network somehow needs to penetrate domestically too - something like a UPI. That moment is going to be a watershed moment that should break this duopoly.
PS: Its a separate matter altogether that Visa/Mastercard are trying to gel well into this new age infrastructure
Nothing any technology does wasn't NOT possible before that tech went mainstream. The point being tech saves time/cost and boosts productivity. For e.g. if you would have been able to find a webpage in an hour before, search made it easier to find that webpage. Similarly, AI synthesizes webpages and information for you.
That is the point of technology. If you could reach from point A to point B, using a bicycle, car, train or an aeroplane, each has its own use case at its own value and price point. Each such tech saves time/cost. To say that is is only a different modality, fails to capture the value add.

But so do pretty much all developed world currencies isn't it? And relatively speaking dollar has pretty much increased or remained stable against other currencies including EUR, GBP over the last decade or so.
We live in a global world where no country is self sufficient. We depend on oil from a few countries, clothes from some other, electronics from some more, so on and so forth. In such an interdependent and connected world, all payments are made in global currencies and PPP in isolation doesn't really cut it.
India pays the same in $ for oil, as does let's say the UK. Similarly, when an Indian travels abroad, they pay the same in $/£/€ as let's say another globe-trotter from Europe.
PPP in such cases becomes a facade, to stoke their egos and to justify to the nationalists that their nation is doing well.
Also, on an apples-to-apples basis, ~46% of Uber's revenue comes from markets outside the US where self-driving is yet to go through its own motions, regulatory approvals, local dynamics, learning (see how autos drive in subcontinent), etc.
