Go into Healthcare. Thar area is pretty safe and always needs hands on workers.

The new technologies going on right now are exciting & the pay is getting better each year because there's always shortages.

What about yesterday's CO2. Nothing can compete with trees

Only if they're able to make it profitable and scale up (while still remaining clean). I don't like being a pessimist, but I'm not holding my breath.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/thedailybeast:

New research from chemical engineers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology may result in us adding another tool to our decarbonization arsenal: a microscopic bacterium named Cupriavidus necator that can turn CO2 gas into a biodegradable plastic.

Their work, published on March 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that with the right setup and ingredients, C. necator can continuously produce a bioplastic from CO2 in the air. If the method is able to be scaled up, such a system could be a two-in-one solution, converting excess CO2 into a biodegradable plastic that obviates the need for energy-inefficiant plastic production.

Do you think it's a feasible way to help save the planet?

China 4x the population, yet nowhere near 4x the solutions!

Do you like math?

In spaceflight there's a conflict between delta-V and thrust to weight ratio - solid rocket boosters give a lot of thrust or 'muscle' so they are used for getting things off the ground while the lighter fuels would be in a later smaller stage that thrusts to get you in transit from Earth to Mars.

Refueling could be a thing, but without space manufacturing it won't be much of a useful thing. The staged design we use will get you to the moon and back because blasting off from the moon isn't nearly as hard as blasting off from Earth.

Getting to Mars and back could hypothetically be done by parking a huge orbital fuel tank around Mars, but getting it there would be an unprecedented achievement. Payload is expensive and it takes a lot of heavy fuel to provide enough thrust for an earth->mars or mars->earth transit. If you want a human crew and a ship capable of holding them then the fuel tank is going to be ridiculous, and the heaviest stage to get it off earth's surface would be terrifying.

This would require a massive conspiracy between buisness men.

Impossible.

It's not a matter of "hydrogen bad" so much as it's a matter of "hydrogen not gonna do what Hype Science Magazine says it will do, at least not yet."

Promising faster cheaper easier transit is today's incarnation of the boy who cried wolf. Replacing what we have with something better is what vast many claim and scarce few deliver.

The Netherlands’ hyper-efficient food system is both a triumph and a cautionary tale

Going back nearly 80 years, anxieties over food security have driven the tiny Netherlands to become a global leader in agriculture despite having just half the land area of South Carolina.

After a horrific famine during World War II killed more than 20,000 Dutch, the government heavily invested in its agricultural sector through subsidies, rural infrastructure, and industrialization.

Two decades ago, it pledged to grow twice as much food with half as many resources, a goal it has already far exceeded. Today, the Netherlands produces 6 percent of Europe’s food with only 1 percent of the continent’s farmland.

In 23 US states, Singapore, and Moldova. Yes.

If the price and maintenance is right, otherwise cheap and maintenance free solar pv + heat pump will outperform this. Solar thermal panels are a maintenance headache, but perhaps these will work better by not getting too hot, they still have to make it robust to freezing temperature problems.

Can I eat it?

Well, emotions are nothing magical. Just chemical reactions that an AI can emulate.

It does most “understand” anything. It is programmed with certain structures that allow it to recognize the rules of other structures it has not been programmed in. Humor is a highly structured language model, exactly the thing it is designed to mimic.

No. Because it is not meaningfully “intelligent”. Stop it.

I think it's worth understanding the difference...

If it does the dishes every day it would not take long.

I used to do the dishes manually every day for 10years. It does not take long unless you let it stack up over time.

I just want my robot butler please ;) That can do all tasks a human can

I'd really like to study economics but i guess you are right. Using mathematical and statistical models to produce information is for my understanding what economists mostly do, and thats something that AI is already very capable of.

Some people have made an argument (including Mark Cuban and Yuval Noah Harari) that although philosophy has been one of the worst degrees thus far, it might be valuable in the future since AI raises a lot of questions about ethics, and people need answers about how to live meaningful life without work. here's some random article someone wrote. https://medium.com/i-human/forget-about-coding-the-job-of-the-future-is-philosophy-33acadcee05a

I actually have a long background in team sports so sport sciences and coaching could very well be quite a good AI-proof option for the future

"Having a sense of humor" implies that it appreciates the joke and feels the emotion of it being funny.

Chat GPT can analyze and identify jokes, even write jokes itself and tell you a joke is funny, but it is simulating a sense of humor, not actually experiencing it.
