Dude: The gallium, indium, & hafnium, are depleting at an accelerating rate, & they are not being readily recovered from e-waste. Not sustainable!
More importantly the digital economy, especially AI, on a net basis is not a significantly productive sector of the economy.
You're pedding a dead-end.

Isn't this just a legal work-around to produce more dramatic slop using 'barely legal' characters? -- given that was a large part of the take-up when the first AI image generators arrived.
It'll end in unfiltered, abusive digital misogyny.

Don't knock it! For some of us all those little scribbling jobs pay the bills between the commissions which actually have our name on them (in UK elitist media esp. it's also a class thing).
In fact, pity ghostwriters, because we've all just seen our futures get taken-out by poorly produce AI slop.

I follow a lot of people who I don't like what they say, because I want to know what they're saying; damned if you do, damned if you don't.
However, I would likely unsubscribe if you started extolling the modern virtues of Jane Austen novels.

Your certainties are, in terms of available evidence, a matter of 'confidence' -- and you have not explored those 'other' restrictions to eliminate those confounding arguments.

Also, beyond the minerals issue, given 10% of the global population are responsible for half of lifestyle emissions, why do you not focus on reducing affluence and thus inequality as solution? (my long-term research project).
Another misdirection in terms of possible 'solutions' on your part?

Just watched for s second time. You say here & elsewhere that "we know the solutions". However there's hard research from geophysicists doubting ability to replicate the 'service' of fossil fuels with green tech. due to limited mineral resources.
Does that mean that you are propagating falsehoods?

I'm already wondering how the die-hard nationalists in Wales, Scotland, and ESPECIALLY Northern Ireland, are going to react to being forced to carry a 'British' identity card.
