I don't think the GP advocates a barter economy, rather he defines what sharing really is. If 50.000 people go to the stadium, there's a large chance close neighbors go there so there's no point using four cars when they can

You have not demonstrated that corporations have artificial intelligence. At most we can say they are an artificial life form that thrives and takes over when the environment is right for them. So by changing the contents of the Petri dish

This format is suicide from a numerical stability POV. It will lose 3 to 4 bits of precision for an operation with mixed exponents, whereas double will only lose one. Any kind of marginally stable problem, say eigenvalues with poorly condit
