This 100%. We're in the middle of an AI Manhattan Project and if "we" give up or slow down, another company or country will get AGI before "us" and there's no coming back after that. If there's a chance AGI is possible, it doesn't make sense to let someone else take the lead no matter how dangerous it could be.

The better analogy would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stargate

How could grocery stores (and food supply chains) cause inflation?

They’re part of the basket of goods that is measured when stating the official inflation figures.

Things getting more expensive than they used to be is inflation. I can’t see any way that grocery stores raising prices doesn’t “cause inflation”. The act of raising prices is quite literally what causes inflation. (Having currency that devalues is a reason for vendors to demand higher nominal prices, but it’s two sides of the same coin whether the currency is worth less or the goods have a higher price.)

Things in general across the board getting more expensive is a symptom of inflation, true. But I don't see how just a subset of businesses raising prices necessarily causes long term inflation. Even if all the existing grocery stores collude to raise prices together, that would just create market pressure for other grocery stores to pop up that can undercut and obtain a large amount of market share from the colluding businesses. So sure, there may be a blip of "inflation" while the market corrects and the new businesses start up, but overall it shouldn't cause actual inflation.

In the general case, CPI is how they measure inflation.

This seems to be the root of most, if not all, economic disagreements. It's just so hard to objectively measure these things.

There appears to be an error in the correction posted in August of this year. See if you can spot it.

This one?

Lol yes, research finding Yes, true relationship No is missing a left bracket in the denominator.

Traubenfuchs' profile appears to indicate it's a GPT-3 bot.

Any chance it could be MTU related? Sounds like the issue is only popping up when attempting to use full packets.

I was thinking DNS and/or IPv6.

For me, it's always DNS until proven otherwise. But the difference of some sites loading, but others not makes me suspect there's a split somewhere and IPv4 vs 6 seems as likely as anything.

I second the "always DNS until proven otherwise" sentiment, but in my case it's often self-inflicted in my obsessive desire to force all devices on my network to route their DNS requests through my PiHole.

It has caused some significant weirdness, and I've had to relax the rules just to get certain things to work at all.

The whole point of the free market is choice so that when people realize that certain things are unhealthy, they are able to switch to something else. Also, we aren't exactly in a free market at the moment: https://farm.ewg.org/progdetail.php?fips=00000&progcode=soyb...

This exactly. You have summed up my thoughts better than I could. I am also interested to hear from the downvoters.
