...is a dystopian blueprint that exploits trauma, cloaks economic interests in techno-optimism, and violates ethical and legal standards.
If left unaddressed, the intersection of semiconductor growth and PFAS dependency creates a cycle of environmental degradation, public health disasters, economic liabilities, and geopolitical risks.
Without decisive regulation, investment in PFAS alternatives, and accountability for polluters, the “forever” in forever chemicals may also describe the permanence of their consequences.
The breakthrough by 0G Labs and China Mobile offers a visionary and plausible pathway toward more accessible, affordable, and sovereign AI development.
If validated and adopted broadly, DiLoCoX could reconfigure the AI economy and spark a new wave of innovation from unexpected geographies and sectors.

Teachers are no longer gatekeepers of information but facilitators of discernment in an age of algorithmic abundance.
The risk is that students become passive consumers of machine-generated output. The opportunity is that they become critical thinkers, equipped with the skills to understand, challenge, and use AI.
