You don't need to concern yourself with optics when:

1. you investigate your own issues
2. are almost never held accountable
3. fabricate and/or "lose" evidence as needed
4. when you are held accountable, you personally never pay
5. never, EVER need to apologize
6. and probably the most important.... nothing ever changes with the first 5.

The wording on how they found her sounds like "we used facial recognition" and didn't want to admit it, so went with "advanced technology" instead.... the rest sounds like bullshit to me. They don't want people aware of what they can do. This reaks of Palantir. Think the Ring find a dog commercial only with humans and on a world wide scale with millions of camera feeds.

Is the business world it's often referred to as your Boss doing his Pelican tour (or other phrasing). THey Come in. Shit all over everything. Leave everyone the mess as they congratulate themselves for a "job well done"

He looks so old that even the botched plastic surgeries are looking old now. Damn he looks frail....

Anyone taking odds on this being a prepare for the bubble popping vs. the corporate line that it's to invest further into AI?

1. Layoff 30K people
2. Stonk goes from $146.88 close yesterday to $145.25 close today after the layoffs.
3. ??AI??
4. Profit!

Life already breaks down hydrocarbons with the help of enzymes for foods (e.g., starch and celluose are polymers). It won't take much to evolve that mechanism to break open and digest the long chain plastic polymers, and in fact there are already bacteria and yeast that will eat some plastics. Given enough time, it will just be another food source.

I predict that in future generations we'll be in a similar race as we are today with antibiotics, only with plastics. Bacteria, yeast & fungus will infect and compromise strategic plastics like sterile medical supplies and humans will have to develop new plastics to stave off a future where material science can't rely on plastics.

BTW, I'm no petroleum shill or trying to minimize the impact plastic is likely already having in our ecosphere, but I want to put "alarming" into perspective. nanoplastics are going to do some serious damage and we should be looking for rapidly decomposing plastics made with non-petroleum source stock, but life will survive plastic (including Human life). I'm willing to bet that the ocean already has little pockets of microscopic life feeding on nanoplastic as a food source.
