Sorry for the typos, I wasn't at a device that could do decent photo manip so used gemini to edit this, mostly worked, sorry for slop ;_;
Way back when villages and towns were hella smaller, unapproved behavior was nipped on the bud, because people talk and there were less people that you just couldn't disappear into the masses. There were _actual_ real social consequences.
_Technically_ we're just moving back to basics, but the social consequences of the increased awareness should apply to everyone – equally.
There's also things like "symbolic" lifeforms like viruses, yeah, they don't live per-se, but they do replicate and go through "choices", but in a more symbolic sense as they are just machines that read out/ execute code.
The way I distinct symbolic lifeforms and abstract lifeforms is that mainly symbolic lifeforms are "machines" that are kind of "inert" in a temporal sense.
Abstract lifeforms are just things that are in a way or other, "living" and can exist on any level of abstraction. Like cells are things that can be replaced, so can be CEO's, or etc.
Symbolic lifeforms can just be forever inert and hope that entropy knocks them to something to activate them, without getting into some hostile enough space that kills them.
Abstract lifeforms on the other hand just eventually run out of juice.
We are to these like ants are to us. Or maybe even more like mitochondria are to us. Were just the mitochondria of the corporations. And yes, psychopaths are the brains, usually. Natural selection I guess.
Our current way of thinking – what exactly *is* a 'mind' and what is this 'intelligence' – is just too damn narrow. There's tons of overlap of sciences from biology that apply to economics and companies as lifeforms, but for some reason I don't see that being researched in popular science.
But alas, that is not what the for profit public companies have a mandate to do.
If the maths come to about ±0 then there would be tons of goodwill to be gained by spinning up the robo-taxi project as a non-profit org.

You know how the shorthands work elsewhere, so this just replicates that.
