I wonder what the transmission rate of information through genetic evolution is.

Kilo base pairs among other things.

Over time, yes, but I suspect the per-second bitrate is extremely small.

Do not forget parallelism. Neural networks, electronic circuits, and a lot of other processes in nature occur simultaneously at an enormous scale.

Didn’t this come out a couple of years ago? Is there a reason we are seeing it again now?

JPEG XT, JPEG XS, JPEG XL are all for completely different use cases and built with different technology. XT and XS are more mature standards, but less appealing for the internet use case than XL.

I wonder how much this will be obscoleted by JPEG XL.

JPEG XL reference codec includes a slower encoding mode for high density photography compression (iterating with butteraugli guidance like in guetzli). Of course there will always be some room for external optimizers, just I'd expect the gains to be smaller.
