When this was proposed the idea was that one of tank can replace two trees and it can be put in corners that are too small for trees (and cars). When you consider the space for roots you can get at least one parking space per tank at the cost of making car-centric cities even more of an hell hole.

They get in the way of parking spots. The steel cages must rule supreme.

And analytics. And offloading as much computation to the client, because servers are expensive and inefficiency is not an issue if your users are the ones paying for it.

Just wait until the vibe coder overwrites 3 months of “work” with garbage because ChatGPT never told them about git and then decided to poop the pants.

Because we still need to bring CO2 levels down even if we stop burning fossil fuel.

And then we’ll probably need to burn fossil fuel to keep them at the right level, since we are in a capitalistic society and we’re never going to be able to shutdown the CO2 collectors if they are ever built.

As much as there were parts of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and even the Soviet Union that preferred to be part of Germany than part of the country they were in 1939.
