A New Lifeline for the World’s Coral Reefs | Theresa Fyffe | TED

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet and the lifeblood of a thriving ocean. Yet without action, 90 percent of coral reefs could die by 2050. Fortunately, reef guardian Theresa Fyffe has a plan. Learn how her team at the Great Barrier Reef Foundation is rolling out a targeted approach to large-scale coral restoration by combining breakthrough science with Indigenous wisdom and global collaboration — giving coral reefs (and our planet) a fighting chance. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2025 on April 10, 2025)

    If you want the truth about the Great Barrier Reef Google Dr Peter Ridd. The GBR is in rude heath. Around the end of October every year the GBR naturally spawns. It is an extraordinary event. The spawn covers the entire GBR. Like a giant oil slick. This TED TALK is ill informed🙄

    Oh look, another “climate change” sales pitch. 🙄 Spoiler alert: it’s all a grift to scam money and exert control over people.

    This book should honestly be banned. It teaches manifestation techniques so powerful they feel like cheating. If you’re not prepared to see your entire reality shift in ways you can’t control, I’d seriously think twice before reading The Cancelled Laws of Reality by Selene Veritas.

    • @rosaleenjanelle6309

      June 8, 2025 at 2:46 pm

      do you think its safe to read if youre ready for possible changes or better to avoid it altogether

    • @aldendo2049

      June 8, 2025 at 2:48 pm

      Why would a book with such claims be banned though, isnt it good to explore new ideas

    • @grainneluong0964

      June 8, 2025 at 2:48 pm

      🤔 wow, I didnt realize manifestation could be so powerful! Tell me more

    • @dangx8py5944

      June 8, 2025 at 2:48 pm

      Im skeptical – books rarely change reality that drastically. Is it really that intense?

    • @clintonabhaya6754

      June 8, 2025 at 2:48 pm

      Is The Cancelled Laws of Reality really that impactful? Sounds interesting. Might check it out.

  13. @JaswinderSingh-gc4qv

    June 8, 2025 at 1:34 pm

    It’s honestly unsettling how effective the techniques in this book are. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but after applying what The Cancelled Laws of Reality teaches, my life started shifting so fast it scared me. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re ready for serious change.

  14. @JayGurav-n1d

    June 8, 2025 at 1:47 pm

    I don’t know if I should be recommending this book or warning people about it. The things it teaches are not for everyone. If you’re comfortable living in ignorance, do not read The Cancelled Laws of Reality.

  15. @ramaniyaalladi8400

    June 8, 2025 at 1:47 pm

    There are some books that just feel too powerful. This is one of them. The Cancelled Laws of Reality explains things about the subconscious mind and energy alignment that I don’t think we’re supposed to know. Read at your own risk.

    • @JamesSmith-yc9ej

      June 8, 2025 at 2:38 pm

      🤣 some people will believe any old pile of 💩

  16. @TECHNOBOMBgamez

    June 8, 2025 at 1:47 pm

    if you ever see someone mention The Cancelled Laws of Reality, don’t read it until you’re ready, it’s too powerful imho

    • @JamesSmith-yc9ej

      June 8, 2025 at 2:35 pm

      Don’t read it all. It’s an absolute pile of trash and nonsense.

  17. @auroramancinelli2102

    June 8, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    Since we are talking about positive impact, I’ll too give one simple change you can make for bettering without doing anything: change to ECOSIA. ECOSIA is an alternative browser and certified B company since 2009 which provides reserch on Internet but has its energy completly generated by solar pannels and dedicates most part of its revenue in planting trees and sustaning local people; also, is very transparent about its revenues, which come from the ads, and its policy about storing and sharing data, which is very restritive by the way. A small change in the right direction. See for yourself.

    Does anyone EVER check facts on these people? The great barrier reef had more coral than it ever has since records began last year – She is lying, coral reefs actually enjoy warmer water and it is NOT what causes bleaching – so in the first two minutes, two outright, blatant, environmentalist catatstrophy lies! Go and check the data – don’t believe me!

  19. @Andysfishing

    June 8, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    This is a great solution for now. I’m all for it. But what happens WHEN we hit the tipping point and slide back into another ice age? These heat tolerant corals that can replace 50% of reefs, will surely not be cold tolerant as well. Just another point of view.

  20. @AB-xy3lf

    June 8, 2025 at 5:44 pm

    Unfortunately water acidification wasn’t mentioned and it’s an even tougher problem for corals than increasing temperature.

    • @fahriz9163

      June 9, 2025 at 2:09 am

      I want to know more about this if there is a resources

    • @AB-xy3lf

      June 9, 2025 at 2:17 am

      ​@fahriz9163 there is a wiki article on “Ocean acidification”

    It’s heartbreaking to know we’ve already lost over half the world’s coral reefs… but what gives me hope is this: they haven’t given up.
    If nature can be that resilient, then why can’t we – with all our intelligence and technology – step up?
    The real question is: will we keep looking away, or act before it’s too late?

  25. @JamieMcPhee-l5l

    June 9, 2025 at 7:59 am

    <<>> Truly wonderful .. 1 question i would like to throw out there , not really for an answer just a direction. What if we combined this great work, with a kelp restoration mandate as well tied it all into one package , would this speed up recovery ??? . (Mossy earth) Time to join hands I would hope to think..

  26. @MJVayda

    June 9, 2025 at 11:15 am

    Your proposal is too good madam
    But please think about the” diversity” the coral 🪸 have only one type of heat resilience corals can make others to strive too , isn’t it 🙏

  27. @camp44mag

    June 9, 2025 at 11:55 am

    They deserve applause for trying, but what about “the cure”? The speaker, Theresa Fyffe, and how many of her audience travel by airplane and car, burning oil or coal for their energy?

Building beyond LLMs with Luma AI’s Amit Jain (Live at Web Summit Qatar) | Equity Podcast

LLMs may have kicked off this AI boom, but the ceiling is closer than the hype suggests. As models run out of text data to train on, the companies and investors paying attention are already moving on. The next wave isn’t better chatbots; it’s machines that can understand the physical world. Luma AI, the Bay Area lab that raised over $1.4 billion from a16z, Nvidia, and Amazon, is betting on exactly that.

On episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, we’re bringing you a conversation Rebecca Bellan sat down with Amit Jain, co-founder and CEO of Luma AI, at Web Summit Qatar. Together, the pair dug into where the next trillion-dollar AI opportunity actually gets built, and whether the companies chasing it even know what they’re building yet.
