Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)You know what I want AI and robots to do? Sort trash so we can just dump everything in one bin and not be confused and paralyzed every time we throw something way.
Maxilo Overit@grumpygamer I want it to break the trash down and turn it back into resources that can be used to grow or build things again. Recycling as it is today is a dead end I'm afraid.
Andrew@aka_quant_noir @grumpygamer plastic recycling is. paper, metal, and glass DO end up being reused. Especially aluminum and steel.
@cinebox @grumpygamer Understand that. But not everywhere and not enough to turn 100% to recycled materials. We aren't anywhere close to a sustainable waste stream, and to an end to virgin extraction. It's not even on industry's radar. We need to put it there.
