  • Too late.

    The thing about oceans is they have massive amounts of inertia.

    We’re still surviving on the inertia from before we fucked them up, but we’ve already fucked them up, and some of the consequences of that won’t be apparent until 50 or 100 years from now.

    Same with fixing them. We won’t see the effects (or the unintended side effects) of anything we do to fix them for decades, and even then they’ll probably be unnoticeable under the effects of how much we fucked them up before trying to fix them.

    Stopping is probably indeed the best option, hopefully we haven’t damaged them enough that they won’t fix themselves eventually… but that’ll take hundreds or more probably thousands of years.


  • There are more extreme things, but then that starts being something other than “protest”.

    Eh, watch some French protests, especially ones involving French farmers. Spraying manure into government buildings is one of the classics.

    As long as you don’t kill anybody (or any pets or livestock), it’s still just a protest.

    (And Medialab AI doesn’t seem to have any human employees left, only executives and marketing drones, so no one would get hurt if it got burned down, on the contrary, it’d be a net benefit for humanity).
