This is exactly my perspective as well. Seeing humans as inherently valuable is the key. It's shocking to me that so many people seem to have been reducing humans to the results they are able to produce and now that the results appear to be drying up, their perception of their own human value is going down with it.

I agree. Most human-generated content I've run across on the internet over the past couple decades has been fairly low quality and, to be honest, most of the self-admitted LLM-generated content is higher quality. I'm continually surprised that so many consider any content written by humans to automatically be more worth their time to read.

I'm much more interested in the content itself than the author that wrote it.

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.

Society is just a lot of people.

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.

Ah, so you're talking about CPI. Then in that case I agree. It's not clear that CPI == inflation, though.

How could grocery stores (and food supply chains) cause 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.

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