I think health impact might be the biggest concern, but I can't imagine that's an insolvable problem.

not sure what environmental conditions it needs, but definitely incredible tech

I added the archived link in the body of the post.

I find the idea of using microorganisms to do farming kind of fascinating honestly. You can produce a lot of different chemicals this way, and potentially make kinds of food requiring very little space.

From what I read, past the loading phase you don't actually want to take more than 5 grams daily. Your body isn't able to absorb more than that effectively, and it just ends up putting stress on your kidneys.

It seems like the sentiment is swinging towards repatriation there.

Sure, but this is specifically referring to using CO2 from industrial emissions as feed for bacteria that synthesize protein.

My expectation is that we're gonna see a similar story we saw with solar panels. Once China ramps up production, they're going to dominate global markets because they're gonna be able to produce at scale and cost that nobody will be able to match.

I think that's an interesting approach as well. There are a bunch of research papers on using MCTS with LLMs, a few examples here:

I mean LLMs have gotten orders of magnitude more efficient in just the past year, but also using these types approaches might make it possible to use much smaller models, and iterate on the result.
