Just to put it in perspective, here’s a joke.

Do you know what’s the difference between nazis and communists?

Communists killed more communists.

It’s funny, because it’s true.

Isn’t that what a marketplace means? Otherwise it’s an online shop?

Raising enough money to pay its employees and expand, but not the most you can without regard to anything else? Sonds like an interesting idea to explore. Or are you talking about super-dense pudding?

It would collapse on itself, unable to carry its own weight, heating up massively. I consider superheated pudding volcanos something of a downside, personally. I cannot reasonably estimate what might happen in the centre of the world, supercritical fluid doesn’t seem enough. Perhaps nanodiamond crystallisation from the organic parts of the pudding? Also lots of hydrogen release, I’d guess.

My suggestions involves only change of the legal framework. Besides, there are non-profit companies. I’m not sure about details, but for example Velux (windows manufacturer) and Carl Zeiss (optics) are supposed to be non-profits, and Anthropic could say no to the DoD because it’s some sort of not-just-for-profit company.

Thanks, that sounds very reasonable.

What would be the downside if all companies were non-profit? At first sight, it sounds like a great idea.

I just want to say that in addition to your usual unusually well-written review, I really appreciate that you included metric units. Thank you!

Nobody loves that. But there are people who love doing science, so they do it despite that.

You can have a separate database for 2FA. I use Aegis, but have a 2FA database for keepass as backup and for use without a phone.

Most parents won’t. People are people. Those that would want to have to ballance the risk of excluding their children from the collective.
