Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner — claimed to work in desert air with 20% humidity or lower, delivering off-grid ‘personalized water’

The system can function in air with 20% humidity or less. But these 1,000 liter a day machines are not small, at around shipping container size.

    This is likely not the Generative AI, LLM-slop type of AI you’re thinking of.

    I hate generative AI. But other forms of AI and machine learning have been used for much longer and haven’t facilitated the building of ecologically harmful datacenters.

    For example, AlphaFold, which is an AI program that can predict how proteins fold and is an incredibly useful tool.

    I expect that the use of AI here would be similar: something trained for a specific purpose, not just generic generative AI tech like ChatGPT
