Great, now ask the AI to engineer a fungal genome that'll help us purify it more easily: Frack in the substrate and spores, harvest fruit bodies on the surface, profit.
- kylehotchkiss 2y agoThis entire problem will solved without offering human employment in a place that would probably welcome it at this pace.
- moffkalast 2y agoI mean, what could possibly go wrong?
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoWhat are you worried about, zombies that want to eat your batteries?
- moffkalast 2y agoWas thinking more about sink holes and the entire area caving in after much of the underground is destabilized and/or removed, but battery eating zombies would be worse.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoIdeally we'd just be removing lithium and adding mycelium (mostly carbon) so the net mass removed would be near zero. The zombies though, yeah, that's a worry. I assumed you were worried about GMO fungus wrecking the soil ecology or somesuch. Not an insignificant risk, but it's hard to believe that it could be worse than tiling the surface with evaporation ponds.
