Wow, what a graph. Flat line and then straight up, you love to see it

May all of your problems and toils simply be flat lines about to bend upward

Positive users marvel at AI enabling robotic milkers and laser weeding to automate farming more than manufacturing while negative users dismiss it as decades-old tech or object to animal use.

@Afinetheorem It amazes me how mechanisable and automatable farming has turned out to be. Much more so than manufacturing, despite dealing with messy biology.

@Afinetheorem This technology is 20 years old, no ChatGPT in there.

@Afinetheorem @Noahpinion that's before they're slaughtered ? It does sound more humane to treat bugs with less chemicals 😉☺️ and milking them when they need it . Corporate is so inhumane I worry about what they're NOT telling us though...they can't be trusted unfortunately

@Afinetheorem Right. And further adoption of renewables + storage will accelerate the trend. Existing field laborers become robot wranglers - a big improvement! (Note: Other benefits too. Reduced water consumption, reduced pesticide use, higher yields due to optimal harvesting, etc)

@Afinetheorem They should adopt cultured meat and dairy and leave animals Alone.

@gvp324377 @Afinetheorem Why does this surprise you? Farming was literally the first use of mechanization by man.
