This is so staggeringly serious in its own right and also continues to be a compelling metaphor for AI, which is all ending up in the digital ocean, and we will never be able to get it out.

OMG this is, as you say, staggeringly serious: (from the abstract) “Scientists have now confirmed that the most abundant form of plastic in the Atlantic is in the form of nanoplastics, smaller than a micrometer. These particles are everywhere: in rain, rivers, and even the air. They may already be infiltrating entire ecosystems, including the human brain, and researchers say prevention—not cleanup—is our only hope.” 😐
Prevention! What hope is there of that? We’re doomed!
