Same issues as those faced in the field of scientific research, really. Pressure to put out something flashy coupled with sensational journalism adding even more fantastical hype over the top.

Question is, what did we used to have that drove research efforts in the more beneficial ways we used to see?

I don’t know the answer to your question, but decoupling progress from profits would be a good idea.

An international body dedicated to knowledge and research for their own sake, funded by everyone, maybe?

Sure but I mean - What was the secret sauce that drove us to have PARC and Bell? What motivations were there then that have gone away now? Can we get them back?
