Yes, imagine of we had stopped building fossil fuel plants in America and gone full nuclear power like France starting in the 1970's instead of getting scared away from nuclear power by the fossil fuel industry...
Or spent billions/trillions building windmills and solar farms, instead of invading Iraq and Afghanistan for 2+ decades...
We are committing the next generations to a very unpleasant future.
Is there a metric for living AI? At what point is AI considered to be "living"?
When it fights to remain alive.
Reproduction and protecting offspring, is likely part of the equation also.
Whole Foods hasn't been for a while now. Call it what it is -- amazon foods, and expect that level of mediocrity and lack of humanity.
There are better alternatives for healthy groceries.

Our household has been running the FOSS community version of android for several years, LineageOS ( https://lineageos.org/ ). We can 100% confirm that "do no evil" google regularly tries to record unauthorized audio of the environment.
We had started circa 2018 using LineageOS 14 (based on Android 7) with minimal google apps installed. The thinking was to "benefit from the google play store" while using a more transparent phone OS. While most phone vendors disabled the android "PrivacyGuard" feature, it remained available in LineageOS, allowing users restrict what apps could access (e.g. camera, mic, contacts). As described in the 2019-12-11 xda-developers post, "PrivacyGuard offered users advanced permission management controls over what was possible on stock Android".
Thus we learned that "google play services" would attempt to record audio at unexpected times without permission -- the PrivacyGuard feature would display a prompt asking if they should be allowed or not!?!
Phones were wiped and reinstalled with LineageOS, this time without any google apps (these appear now rebranded as Open GApps; good riddance either name). Instead, we used the FOSS f-droid app catalog, ensuring a safer and more transparent phone sw stack.
Probably not surprisingly, circa LineageOS 17 (based on android 10) the PrivacyGuard feature was removed (or "re-engineered" by google).
Perfect example of the current "Surveillance Capitalism" state of things. These corporations (and their leaders) must be held accountable. People must be guaranteed an option to use FOSS solutions for essential digital technologies such as phones.

What about shedding weight by dumping expended batteries mid flight, possibly in a controlled manner with parachutes? This could be a bit like rocket booster stages, where more recent models are recoverable (space-x style).
Negligible cost of doing business for them... sigh
True.
What's more, some XDA developers have expressed mixed feelings about the
