We really need legislation in the US to regulate the use of data... something like the GDPR with enforcement for people who are careless with their customers.

Think about it... Google could train its AI to recognize malicious behavior for moderation purposes, to recognize astroturfing and manipulation of public opinion (for purposes of stopping it or carrying it out).
There's not much value in training it to simulate a redditor, but there's a lot in modeling bad behavior.
They'd be mining the brine in which the lithium is dissolved as well as constructing geothermal plants to take advantage of the temperature of the liquid.
My brother used it to keep getting alcohol while he was home bound due to complications from diabetes. He was able to hide his consumption from us during the last few months of his life because Drizly delivered for him.
I'm not attacking them or anything, I'm sure there are people out there who are home bound who love to get a bit of a tipple now and then for whom such a service is wonderful. It just wasn't in my family's case.
The Salton sea is the home of a huge lithium deposit, and it's unlikely that anything but geothermal and lithium mining will happen there in the near future. Certainly not "restoration" to what it was when it was accidentally created.
The thing is.... all the failed reproductions of LK-99 were based on the leaked version of the paper, which according to the authors is missing some information/steps for production. They said they would publish the complete/final version of the paper in 2024, waiting to see that.
Besides that, things like the number of holes in the calendar ring matter.
Check out Clickspring on youtube, he's one of the people who narrowed the hole count down to 2 numbers, and this paper argues hard for one of those.
He's building a replica of the mechanism using period tools, and it's amazingly precise so far.
