The thing is these microbes are in danger from poorly regulated off-shore drilling operations and they already manage massive methane pockets.

This isn't "oh these microbes can help us" this is "we need to protect these microbes because the climate will get drastically worse without them"

I did that one time and then I would only buy complete series at the used book store.

I didn’t write the article, man. I just read it, and the article is using AI as the terminology which is what was setting off this comment section. But fine, it’s machine learning.

generative AI is what returns wrong data. AI that is specifically trained to do one function has been used in many industries for decades and can be tested more rigorously.

oh man, that sucks. My first migraine medication was a mild anti-depressant and when I went off it to change to a different one and I thought I was legit going crazy until my therapist at the time was like "hey, do you think the change in meds could be related?"
