Is the $1.7B a Bet on Atoms Itself, or Just on Travis Kalanick’s Name?

Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we’re on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines. Reframing the AI debate through the lens of evolutionary biology, he shifts the question from whether we should fear or embrace AI to whether we understand what’s at stake…

I wonder how many of these vessels would be needed to clean up India?

But you need to go to the source and stop these countries from continuing to dump plastics. If not, we will be back to the same place in a number of years.

This is great news. I think they should work on smaller scale versions to install in cities and even bigger ones to clean up the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

This is great! I am glad people are doing something about it. Sadly though, this is a band aid to the real problems which is the constant consumption of one-time use products. Consumerism is not necessarily bad, but in this case, we can clearly see the consequences of our unchecked consumerism. More importantly, we need to hold companies accountable as they are the source of the problem; they need to innovate. All the blame cannot be on the consumer when the consumer has no choice other than to buy the single use items. Also, recycling is not very efficient (at least today) and it enables further unchecked consumption. Hopefully, we can tackle the real problem instead of the symptoms before it is too late.
