I mean its not hard to just do the first part. A weapon that causes massive auto-immune disease is perfectly doable using the same technology. If you can make your body target specific cells, in this case cancer, there is no reason why you can't make it target say, your brain, or heart.

That says a mature tree will absorb 48 pounds of co2 per year. CO2 is 20% carbon by weight, so that is 9.6 pounds.

If the car is capturing 4.5 pounds of carbon per 20k miles, then sounds like it is really more like 25-35% of what a tree does for normal driving distances

[Edit] Well, not even since the article says 4.5 pounds of co2, not carbon. In that case, it is more like 5-7%!

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Anderson069:

This fully electric car called Zem has created by 3D-printed from recycled plastics. Zem also has an interior made of pineapple and a dashboard made of cooking oil. “Zem” stands for “Zero Emission Mobility,” this car does not emit carbon. It also has a great exterior design. This Zem car has a pair of carbon filters in the front grille that contributes to cleaning the atmosphere by removing about 4.5lb of Carbon-dioxide per 20,000 miles.

That means ten Zem cars remove the same amount of carbon as a mature tree absorbs annually. Solar panels are also installed on the Zem’s roof, and those provide about 15% of the car’s energy needs. It has a traditional charging point at the rear that completes the rest of the car’s energy needs.

It was created by a team of 35 undergraduates at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. Carbon neutrality is built into every aspect of the car. The Monocoque and body panels are created by additive manufacturing. “These parts of Zem are 3D-printed to get the desired shape and almost no waste produced,” TU/ecomotive has stated.

Why do you think robotics will be huge?

I mean, it's an important field and it will continue to grow, but I don't see necessarily how AI is changing it. I can imagine that most people expect fully sentient, maybe even human-like, robots to start popping out any time soon, but I think that between the costs of robotics, and the cheaper labor given by AI, it's not particularly on my radar. Though for sure IoT will benefit from AI (not sure if you consider this as robotics too).

Let me know when they develop that machine that washes and dresses you in the morning, that or a robot maid

Is only jetsons if the flying motorbike makes that high pitched blublyblublu sound. Does it do that?

critical thinking and creativity, basically everything that A.I. can't and won't be able to do without feed data.

You could for a while learn data science, but the timeframe is max 1-2 decdes until it becomes obsolete in the face of such great mass agregators

Running out of fuel upgraded from mild concern to life threatening situation.

^ This comrade gets it. We have nothing to lose but our chains

I recommend a nice braised billionaire paired with a red wine. Really brings out the inhumanity in the meat. Tastes divine

No I mean you can’t rule out that they’re suspicious just based on internet data

Oooh, we’re The Jetsons now because there’s one of these in existence.

Become a plumber everyone needs to poop, long was off automating cleaning out and repairing underground pipes and they make a shit load of money, charging up to $180 ($118USD) hr in Australia.

This is from the linked article:
...
To overcome this, the research team used recent advances that allow different sets of data to be sent without the corruption.
...

How I understand this: for example if the method is used on text, that encoding is done by using different words with the same meaning. So if you don't know the original message, there is no way to figure out there is something hidden in the text message. Because the meaning itself is completely unchanged.

I would argue that tech is a bit mixed as far as the future is concerned. Some data scientists and software engineers have used chatgpt to code and they all say that despite being wrong frequently, it makes coding easier and faster. This can potentially reduce both the number of jobs needed and the pay-grade (because the job is now easier). You can literally tell chatgpt that the code didnt work without any explanation and sometimes chatgpt will correct it with no issues. You can even vaguely describe whats wrong or copy-paste the error message, and chatgpt will fix the code. Hours of tearing through stackoverflow can be saved by simply asking AI. This is only the first public version too. Im willing to bet that chatgpt will become insanely good at coding in the near future. Traditional coding is definitely an area that AI will overtake.

Its also possible that AI will open new doors in tech that may either maintain its current state or grow it in further.

I do agree on robotics though. Robotics will become huge.

Survival Skills, Guns, Guerrilla Tactics, Self Defense, explosives, grown own food, farming, make bullets, use of solar panels.

Poor Wipers, don't stand a chance.

I understand, but what I am saying is that in 20/30 years I don’t think nothing major will change regarding the replacement of part time people at grocery stores… that’s all.

To be in the relevant work force, all he needs to do if be good at is job.

Yeah, these last 1-2 years have started feeling like "the future" for me.
