> Companies exist to earn money

By providing product or services of value, not by maximing profits at any cost (definitely not by taking advantage of people, shortcomings of rules/laws, ... , or by harming people, ... , environment)

> I've wondered if it is some innate need to nourish herself with calcium, or if it's stress relief :)

methinks: Calcium is required to make the egg shell. Calcium supplements would help, just in case "Life finds a way".

For me, if someone says "try and see for yourself", it implies possibility of failure or something new.

If outcome is considered in terms of success or failure then try implies non-zero probability of failure. If outcome isn't considered in terms of success or failure then "try this flavour of ice-cream" is experience and try this outfit(fits or doesn't) is a test you can't fail. Philosophically, it is as master Yoda said: Do or do not, there is no try.

Felt like deja vu

> There's simply so much to know that the LLM has an inherent advantage.

But do they understand it? I mean, A child used swear words, but does it understand the meaning of the swear words. In other comment, somebodies OH also mentioned about artistic abilities and utility of the words spoken.

> Not to lie me in the face.

Are you saying that, it deliberately lied to you?

Reminded me of Dunning Kruger curve, the ai model at the first peak and you at the latter.

> capitalism favors profits over anything else.

At what rate of return does "profits" turn into unbridled greed and capitalism turns into parasitic exploitation?

Mark Twain — 'Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.'

In democracy government is for the country/people and not the other way round.

How about engineering the society/civilization(?)/world so that "all can" work hard (8hrs), rest hard (8hrs), live hard (8hrs) and die hard when the eventuality arrives?

There is also an entertaining TED talk by Marco Tempest explaining cards https://www.ted.com/talks/marco_tempest_a_cyber_magic_card_t...

>> An algorithm is not a proof.

> That is an opinion that many do not share.

Say, we have an algorithm to color a planar graph with 4 colors, can we say that we have a proof for 4-coloring a planar graph?

You have a typo, https://newbeelearn.com/tools/csvonline/

How about a bullet? :)

> would you want a 'passionate' doctor

As long as the doctor is proficient/expert/licenced, why would the rest matter?

> Eventually, business owners will no longer need people at all.

Who will they sell to? For business/markets to exist, it needs people who can buy.

Yeah, there is a huge difference between opportunist petty thiefs and organized crime bosses.

I view such companies as Trolls under the Bridge (i.e. appstores) that connect the app developers and the users.

Why bother to downvote, if you can't state the reason?

I think they are refering to the phenomenon of "Each and every cell of our body is replaced after a period of 7-10 years which means we renew."

Maybe the difference is free floating bouyancy in air and actively opposing gravity on the ground.

Is there any way to isolate or sandbox it, so that the rest of the phone/device is not compromised?

We get used to the smell and stink (environment). Ever realized that the person who walks into the room notices a smell that the people in the room aren't even aware off.

Production to produce what for whom?

A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas” (Hardy, 1992 , p. 84)

I lean towards patterns of ideas, relations, structures and organizations.

> Should an enterprise created for profit consider other values than profit?

Enterprise is created to provide a beneficial service to the society/humanity/world. Profit is a means to sustain the people, who are working in the enterprise, and subsequently the enterprise. The problem starts when some smartass in power becomes greedy and turns an enterprise for service to people into an enterprise ONLY for profit. If you only want to make money, work in a govt mint.

And I always read it as "The Featured Article"

Something similar to "begin with the end in mind".

Reduce is attacked by advertising and marketing. Reuse is squeezed under social pressure. Recycle (lends itself well for business) is targeted by businesses.
