AI is bringing us to perfection. It won’t take long before be achieve immortality. Maybe we already did but they still keep it a secret. Maybe the price is way too expensive so there is no point in revealing it.
But we will get there.
Even if we can’t achieve immortality literally, our lifespan will increase so much, we will able to live say 300 hundred years. That’s as good as immortality.
You might ask what tha fuck does that has to with anything? Imma talkin about mining in ma cooountry.
I gotta tell ya.
It is all related.
Companies finding the perfect holes with full of minerals on one side, on thee other side; there are healthcare/pharmacy/biotech companies finding the perfect products to increase our lifespan.
That’s way more important than digging the right holes mang.
There is something wild about thinking how both mining and biotech are on the same path: finding the "perfect spot", the "perfect formula". In a way, yeah, it is all about searching for what keeps the system (the earth, our bodies) running smoother, longer. You see a future where tech is pushing us toward some kind of perfection, maybe even IMMORTALITY. These things are indeed connected. Everything high-tech, including the stuff that will someday make us healthier, live longer, or perhaps upload our brains to a server somewhere, is the supply chain of mining. What we are digging today create the "holes" that will be used to generate the cures we may need in the future
But who gets to own that future? If the price of this "perfection" is too high, or if it is only available to the few who control the data or the resources, it kind of sucks for the rest of us. Eternal life to the billionaires and CEOs, ordinary life (or even worse) to the rest of the world? That is the dystopia, right?

You don't actually give any explanation as to how AI is being used to find copper and lithium, so I am not sure how we are meant to comment on it. Is it from reading satelite imagery? Geo terrain shots? Assessing drilling materials? Like so many people who over hype new technology, use whatever buzzwords are that fit the moment (like "algorithm") but it really needs a detailed explanation or it might as well all be lies. Everyone pretends AI is all singing and all dancing, but the real substance is often missing. I am sure it can be used in certain ways to improve mineral surveying, but this field is already fairly mature and people have been trying to hunt for these precious metals for a long time; so they have decades of learned experience already.
Here is how it really works (from what I have dug up, and this is individual works, so there might be some incorrect):
- AI in mineral exploration: KoBold Metals use machine learning to take huge amounts of old and new data:satellite images, old drilling logs, geophysical survey data (magnetic, gravity, even electromagnetic), even soil chemistry samples
- Instead of guessing based on one kind of data or "geological hunches", their systems use Bayesian inference (a fancy way of constantly updating probabilities as more evidence arrives) to make layered predictions about where deposits might be. A giant, living map that gets "smarter" every time you feed it new info, each failed or successful drill teaches the model what to look for. For example, their platform can scan over 10,000 square kilometers per day with AI-powered satellite mapping
- They also merge super-old data (like hand-drawn maps from a hundred years ago) with new stuff, and the AI has to figure out the "truth" between the gaps. There was a real case in Quebec where the AI discovered that false lithium signals came from a certain type of lichen, something that would have taken humans much longer to realize
AI is enhancing on the World and its cost is low as comparison to other things which are used by other machines . Machines were used in the past for this purpose but there are also few countries who are not ready to adopt this technology but they are facing hard circumstances because they are losing most of the money on mining . Mining is important for every country and millions of people are using these metals for different purposes and these are used in the most of purposes and for the domestic use and for the show piece. The countries which are not ready to adopt this technology, should research on that and should use this tech and it could give more profit to the country and it could make economy strong of the country.
It is not that simple. When everyone rushes to use AI in mining, it creates a kind of global FOMO (which I has already mentioned in
this thread). Every country wants to catch up, and that pressure can lead to missing out on their own strengths or local needs. Some countries have deep, historic mining knowledge, or rich community traditions, or even rare earths that do not need massive AI platforms. They can find new value by using what they already have, not just by copying what works in Silicon Valley or China. Plus, when the world all races in one direction, it can make things more expensive or risky in the long run. Sure, learning and trying new tech is good, but every country also needs to develop its own path, not just follow global hype. What works for one place might not work for another
