And when they find the minerals the enviro lobby will sue to keep anyone from mining them
Tell Musk to start mining asteroids.
I cannot express how annoying the “AI” buzzword is becoming. It’s a carefully tuned associative algorithm, no different than what we’ve been using for decades but applied to a new dataset. But I guess “AI” brings the clicks.
They should search for Bidenite...there’s infinite money buried there.
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium.
Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 223 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
The symbol of Pelosium is PU.
Pelosium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isotopes.
The characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. Author, unknown.
Please, use caution when coming into contact with this unstable matter.

As a well experienced gold miner and assayer I know by experience that mineral associations are important, but by no means infallible. In the case of gold, it is almost always associated with quartz of some variety or other, and/or iron, usually iron sulphide. Without one or both of those you will almost NEVER find gold. But it doesn’t work in the other direction, for the vast majority of quartz and iron deposits contain little if any gold. I am guessing the same may be true of this AI process, and that rare earth minerals, like gold, are “where you find them”. Nothing is foolproof.
Now this is a valid use for AI.
Most rare earths aren’t all that rare, they occur in forms that are difficult and expensive to refine.
