I'm not going to be one of those people who say humans didn't play a role, but seriously. Good luck fixing this. How much energy is needed to raise the world's ocean temperatures by 0.1F

I watched the "Project Turntable" video, and that is unbelievably cool.
To work, the AI has to recognize what the drawing represents, figure out how to reverse-transform the 2D representation into a 3D object, and work out what the hidden parts should look like. It's amazing.
It's only a short step between this and working out walk cycles, matching mouth movements to dialogue, adding facial expressions, etc.
This will revolutionize 2D animation.
Led by 2018 Stockholm Water Prize winner Bruce Rittmann, the team uses a specially modified membrane known as MCfR that causes a reaction in water, to attack the chemical composition of PFAS particles it contains. The water is then treated by microorganisms in a special reactor (MBfR) to break down the remaining pollutant particles, which possess among the strongest carbon bonds in chemistry. “We use the MCfR to knock off a few to all of the fluorines, and then we hand that water with those compounds over to the microorganisms in the MBfR, and they finish the job,” said Rittmann.
