They get to play in a sandbox designed for them. They're taught how to play in the sandbox, and are given the toys to play (roads, electricity, raw materials for example). We get to be the sand.

Corporations have been 'people' since the 1886 USSC decision in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad.
Yet somehow, unlike most people, they've escaped having to go to jail when they commit crimes. I'd call that an unfair advantage.
158 families isn't much to feed 300 million starving people. We need rules on who gets to eat the 0.01%
It is very hard to grow food outdoors in either case. Underground the temperature is fairly stable at about 30+°F. If that's allowed, and I can manage how to grow food underground, then from experience I know I can easily survive 9°F and spend a LOT more time outdoors than at 100°F
Nuclear is: very slow to make, very expensive, generates dangerous waste, invites proliferation.
Wind and solar are quick, relatively much cheaper, create little waste. The sun is forever.
Personal transportation needs a complete redesign. Burning fossil fuel at 20% efficiency (80% waste) to push a 4000lb. vehicle with a 200lb person in it is insane. Personal electric vehicles of 200-300 lbs tracking defined lanes at 20mph under computer control would take care of 80-90% of urban travel needs. And greatly reduce the number of roads needed.
No, I wouldn't assume non-convergence either ... NOR would I assume that that AI didn't just grab that 'high-level' 'Elaboration' from some site ... without a citation.
(Very human ... Lots of people use quotes to sound smart, hoping they'll get away with it. LAWYERS! Ministers! Presidents, even! )
One less formal way of looking at it is this: there are an infinite number of multiples of 35. starting with 35, 70, 105. Add 6 to each of the odd multiples. 35+6=41 (prime); 105+6 = 111 (prime). With an infinite # of candidates, you've gotta get to an infinite number of solutions (for some value of infinity!)
As for that Dirichlet stuff, it's way beyond any of the useful stuff I learned too.
Very nice. Makes my generic LLM look like a lumpkin. I'd heard that mathers were impressed by some of them.
Hypercard (Bill's baby) was great; it's HyperTalk was a very cool alternative for many "usual" programming tasks. After it died, I kept using it until the web took off ... then, in a couple of hours, I used HyperTalk to make an app to convert my stack content into HTML pages. If it had only had networking built in, it'd probably have become the (much better) basis for the Web.
I came to a conclusion about GPT (which is very good with English on most topics) when I asked it how many prime numbers, when divided by 35, leave a remainder of 6. It quickly and confidently said there were none. It hadn't even tried. The correct answer (there's a proof) is: an infinite number.
Two months later it answered that there were 3. Closer ... but no cigar
