This is how NASA powers some space-probes. Further from the sun, solar panels often can't do the job such that RTG's are used. But currently there's a shortage of P238 because the USA changed the way it processes nuclear material, and thus doesn't have it as a by-product like we used to. It now has to be explicitly manufactured, requiring expensive setups. We used to buy it from Russia for a while, but since the war that's part of the sanctions.
It might even improve the Ganges by killing bad bacteria.
The Sam Altman types, and the Thiel/Musk types especially, want technofeudalism with them on top. For some of them the "good of society" factors in but it is always after this.
...will deal with any real AGI threat: delay, deflect*, ignore, and blame.
In short, if AGI is possible, humanity is bigly hosed. Nice knowing you all, cheers to all the great trollin' and dupes...
* "But China & India pollute more" is a stupid GOP position. For one, it's 2-wrongs-make-a-right, and second, their pollution per person is actually LOWER than ours. It's penalizing population, not pollution itself.

If there were only ONE grocery store brand in the area, it would be a problem.
You didn't learn from Microsoft's Borgification of competition.
What about if there is an international fee for deployment that is spent on clean-up bots? It's kind of like how cans, bottles, and electronics (some states) attach a disposal fee.
Watts aren't the key to good cleaning. Japanese brands make 300W cleaners that do a better job than 3000W European ones.
You need something to lift the dust off the surface and into the air stream. Basic vacs have little brushes, but you really want moving ones that sweep and beat, lifting dust away from the surface.
It's interesting that the is news. I don't recall it being a big deal when the Chinese space station had to dodge a SpaceX satellite.
Reminds me of Mozilla and Firefox. Management needs attention span meds.
the nightmare scenario, known as the Kessler syndrome, is a debris cascade that makes it difficult or impossible to operate satellites in parts of the final frontier.
If Earth orbit is the final frontier, then we are fucked as a species. Did AI write that?
