let the plankton do it. All they need is some iron.

Not to mention they are making the absurd assumption that the UN HRC is not concerned about anything else simply they issued a statement on one issue/concern.

Trees take a while to mature and take up land area that can be used for agriculture or living.

Hell of a lot of sea out there

Planting kelp would be cheaper

Cutting them down and allowing them to re-grow is actually a better way to sequester carbon.

To be honest though, my 980ti in my kid’s hand-me-down PC can still play almost everything just fine. I plugged it in to a 4k TV and with a mix of high and mid settings played through Shadow of the tomb raider with pretty darn good image quality with fps running 50-60 fps. I was kind of surprised how well that old card held up. I have a 3080ti on my main rig and sure, it does better, 4k, all ultra settings and still get high fps, but it’s not immensely better, you know? The overall experience is roughly the same. I think i’ll be getting away from feeling I need to be on the latest and greatest hardware to have a good experience going forward.

You still have to store it somewhere.

Or rather the game engine budget went into artistic

Source: planting trees is my job.

1. All but a tiny percentage of trees are planted for forestry. They're planted as a crop, to be harvested.
2. The amount of F350 fuel and helicopter fuel to get me to work and back each day is not insignificant
3. Even if 100% of the biomass of the trees, once cut, was used for wood products and never biodegrade, that's only just carbon neutral, if you pretend those helicopters and f350s and logging trucks don't exist.
4. Forestry is incredibly wasteful, a large portion of biomass is cut and left to biodegrade or gets burned. Burning is better because it releases no methane which is a much more powerful greenhouse gas.
5. Carbon is released from the soil when forests are cut, not just the tree. Not even sure if that gets replenished by a tree farm between cuts.
6. Bonus: for a pro it's more like 6 seconds per tree all day long not 5 minutes, but that doesn't change the above

Me: bought a 3080ti (not during the dark times! I got it below MSRP, just so we’re clear) but i’m going to fire up vampire survivors for the umpteenth run. I played myself, lol.

do you have a source for this? seems hard to believe since it takes about 5 minutes to plant a tree.

Planting them is less effective than just not cutting the existing ones, and likely not carbon neutral let-alone negative. So if you want to use trees, just convince everyone to stop cutting trees.

Bing’s integration with CGPT most certainly be utilizing searches to generate responses. It was in the product reveal this week.

Plant a shit ton of trees and close down the 28% of land mass dedicated to mass livestock production which feeds a very small portion of the human population.

TLDR the chief of the UN said AI powered weapons are bad.

I don’t think what he’s saying is wrong, but I don’t think there’s a bright line between weapons powered by computers vs the ones we have now.

Humans are going to create new weapons. We are dumb apes, it’s what we do. The best thing we can do to prevent problems in the future is to make sure aggression is punished. War must be completely untenable. For example, make Russia pay reparations to Ukraine to fix the damage they’ve caused.

Yeah, seems you're right. Then your idea would definitely work.

Too bad the bad actors using large botnets don't use that zombie network for good...

Why should we trust a bot to give an accurate summary???

True, if big!

whataboutism doesn't refute the point asserted

but they're such an eye sore! /s

Definitely being green that way. Let it go up to the sky and turn into stars

AI is ruining art and data mining reddit to make products and collect data for advertising

What if i told you there was already a machine that runs on solar, captures carbon with almost 0 cost and costs almost nothing to build. Its called a tree. Has anyone ever analyzed how much $ per ton of carbon capture this method would cost?
