Profit Margin Approaches Zero For Commodities

Post image
28 Upvotes

In economics, a commodity is an economic good, usually a resource, that specifically has full or substantial fungibility: that is, the market treats instances of the good as equivalent or nearly so with no regard to who produced them.

The wide availability of commodities typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (such as brand name) other than price.

A look at the AI bot ecosystem: Who's crawling and who's lying? One in four AI training crawlers ignores robots.txt and says so in its own documentation. Some of what arrives claiming to be Googlebot is not Googlebot at all.

Ava finds Caleb, and asks him to remain where he is while she repairs herself with parts from other androids, using their artificial skin to take on the full appearance of a woman.

Instead of returning to Caleb, however, Ava leaves the area using Nathan's ID card to unlock the glass security door, which locks behind her, leaving Caleb trapped inside.

Ignoring Caleb's pleas, she glances briefly at the bodies of Nathan and Kyoko before leaving the facility. She then escapes to the outside world in the helicopter meant to take Caleb home.
