But doesn't the plastic biodegrade into CO2? What's the timeline? How does it compare to plants?

A live organism covering the planet converting carbon dioxide to a solid? We have those. They're called trees.
"What if trees get out and start to convert every bit of carbon dioxide to wood?".

Reply to Research found after six years spent tracking health outcomes among nearly 925,000 Danish seniors, investigators determined that when a man between the ages of 65 and 69 loses his wife he is 70% more likely to die in the year that follows, when compared with his non-widowed peers by Wagamaga
And not a single mention of the causes of these deaths. What a pointless article.

No.
And now the mandatory pointless ramble to make the comment long enough for this sub. We think. But we're not sure, since "long enough" is undefined. Forget artificial intelligence, how about some real stuff?

Honest question: What is the purpose of a public inquiry and why is it needed? It seems an inquiry is necessary to find out what happened, but we already know exactly what happened, and there is a parliamentary committee looking into it, no? The calls for a public inquiry seem to be coming from cons who will do anything to make JT look bad. In this case, he doesn't need their help, he's doing a fine job of it on his own.

This looks like a good step, but no one ever mentions the underlying cause of drug use. The simple fact is that happy people don't use drugs. The vast majority of users are doing so because they have experienced trauma or have other issues.
We need to figure out how to give people the support they need so they don't have to turn to drugs. The best way to end widespread drug use is to stop creating more users.

Reply to Are most of our predictions wrong? by Sasuke_1738
TVs shows and movies are not predictions. In fact, there are very few actual predictions, at least by anyone knowledgeable. Professional futurists, with very few exceptions, realize the futility and don't bother. Instead, they make "forecast"' which give a sense of which direction we are heading in and a rough idea of how long things will take, but there are always too many uncertainties to predict with accuracy. Breakthroughs and discoveries by definition cannot be predicted and have the most impact on the future.

This sounds like nonsense. Just because a machine can translate doesn't mean in "knows" anything. (see Searle's Chinese Room)

>It starts with some nonsensical gibberish from a techno-illiterate techstock snake oil salesman
That wasn't referring to you, but your source, Jeff Brown, who obviously knows nothing about technology. He just hawks get rich quick investment schemes (if he really knew how to get rich from tech stocks, he wouldn't have to sell investment advice for a living).
The graph he uses shows a single line with Moore's law, then "AI computing usage", which has nothing to do with Moore's law. It's like saying that buses are faster than race cars because the use of buses has increased.
The fact that neither you nor your source understand that loses you all credibility.
The same thing with the COVID nonsense. Whether you are apolitical or not, your source is a right wing nutjob conspiracy website.
You need fact based, peer reviewed, credible sources in order to write a useful book.

Don't waste your time with this book unless you are into right wing nutjob conspiracy theories. It starts with some nonsensical gibberish from a techno-illiterate techstock snake oil salesman claiming that Moore's Law has been exponentially surpassed by "AI computing power", whatever that means.
Then it talks about "important and urgent challenges affecting employment trends" where it refers to the COVID-19 pandemic as "biological agents released into the environment" and vaccine side effects as "Therapeutic-related Injuries", quoting the conspiracy website Gateway Pundit as a source.
It also refers to COVID restrictions as "sate-provoked blockages to their ability to make a living" (sic).
That's when I stopped reading.

Reply to comment by Potential_Designflaw in Human-made noise pollution was found to seriously hinder dolphins' ability to work together. by patient-Spring-4
I am convinced that noise is responsible for a lot more marine die-offs than we realize. I once read an article about codfish using sound, but when the journalists tried to record it, they couldn't due to the human-made noise in the ocean. I would not be surprised if this contributed to the collapse of stocks off Newfoundland, which coincidentally(?) happened just as offshore oil exploration began on the breeding grounds.
