Since you talk about price-points,  did you mean "low-ball" ... not 'snowball'. Cause poor people low-ball their purchases of everything from pajamas to pork chops.

Who gets 'snowballed'  are high-maintain women shoppers who must keep up with the pack from Coach hand-bags to baby diapers. Cost is no object to them , except higher prices are precious commodity doled out to those women with filthy rich  husbands. They will buy anything at any price that sets them apart. So really jack-up the price of fake-meat cause  those top 3% women will rave over it like werewolves over a fresh carcass..

For success of chemical faux-meat -- at 8X the price --  only one state is needed to allow fake-beef to be shipped, and whose women don't care that their last date fed them an amino acid soup, that slime-molds love to eat , but gussied-up like a T-bone .... not even a lipsticked pig !  Oh the sensitive vegans we need them traveling on the big rocket to Mars, where fake beauf-stake will be served every day.

Price is KING ? Say it ain't so ! What would you buy ... a  full glass of NYC tap-water. Or a Manhattan double  martini -- dry very dry with 100-proof Tanqueray .. and a pair of  green olives, with a slice of lime . What could be better than 3-of-those , for the cutey beside you to finally put out ! Damn the cost ...

Rationality  is way over-valued ... humans live happily or die-badly on emotions. Think of the night sky ... think of the trout stream ... think of your loved ones. It's all emotion.

Only wankers and nekbeards and monsters see value in anything else. Think of  lambs silence  .. and biting off tongues. That's what rationality brings you ... the curse of duality along with a cold heart ...

You make the standard Randist blunder worshiping tragedy-of-the-Commons". Your agency over your property ends at my property line. You may not pollute the air over my property ( by say...  burning shoes or clothes ) beyond "acts of god";  you are infringing on my property rights . Yep --- you may not "mine" on your own property if  mine  tailings/run-off crosses my property line.  Tuff tit to those sociopaths who would privatize profits while socializing costs.

Intense propaganda and physical abuse by data-manglers  is supposed to convince every Joe-Peanut that the lower standards of service/performance/reliability provides by *.ai/LLM is the STANDARD to be maintained. Kinda like convincing ice-cream eaters to buy air-foamed store brand ice-creame instead of buying heavy creame, vanilla-beans  and eggs and churning it yourself. When crap becomes the standard of excellence, excellence ceases to exist.

Almost ANY building task involves "specialty" or "hi-IP" input.' from  CS-grads building computer code to Amazon savages building water buckets. Yesterday I watched a film on members of the latter group ... savages if you will ... who raised water  from river to tree-top housing by rope+winches with JUST the number of holding  "knots" supportable by the vine-diameter from which the rope was created. Amazing "specialist" creation for an everyday task at the river; wife will be p*ssed without that bucket of water for rinsing veggies ! I believe all builders solve multiple "specialty" cases every day.

Look twice, shoot once !  I checked the current ArsTek website for systematic AI-slop.  There's a prominent article on self-replicating quasi-enzymatic RNA. While my mol-bio is decades old I find the  science writing rational and human; quality popular science written/over-watched  by a biochem PhD. ArsTek is not dead yet.

"If AI is really about the future of humanity then why isn't OpenAI cooperating with the PRC on the further development of DeepSeek? "

Because Americans do not want a "Chinese" future, but a future based on Western "enlightenment" principles and (re)publican  governance. In Abrahamic cultures, the individual is (ultimately) only answerable to G*d [ "... thou shall not have strange gods before me"] . Not so with various Eastern collectivist memes.
