trillion dollars between plastic, e-ways, that probably doesn't even include like textiles, building materials, it's probably a lot more than a trillion dollars.
What if there was some magical way to look down on a conveyor belt as stuff was rushing by at 15 miles an hour and be able to know every molecule that was in every one of the things zooming down the conveyor belt?
and be able to route it in just the right ways so you could get that embodied value back.
Number one, someone's gonna make a trillion dollars, but two, you could get humanity back to being a lot more circular in our use of resources instead of constantly burning dinosaur juice and digging up the world to get at the stuff that goes into the everyday objects in our lives.
And so we've built that.
It's called Matera.
It's still somewhat early days, but it is very much working.
We're really excited about it.
I managed to get through that whole thing, by the way, without saying artificial intelligence.
Obviously, the way our system works, this thing that is looking down, includes tools and techniques from machine learning.
But it's so tiring when people are like, wugga, wugga, wugga, AI.
AI is not benefit.
The benefit in this case is you know what's in the thing so you can recycle the thing.
True.
Let me tell you another story like that.
I love that.
Right now, humanity makes...
six or seven trillion dollars a year in vats of various kinds.
Most of it are chemical processes.
Think of like Dow and DuPont kind of stuff, oil refineries, those kinds of things.
