this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol
a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion
and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:
every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone
instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS
when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.
it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall
the cows learn the cues in a few days
so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate
and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.
it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field
so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol
and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm
it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.
they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly
it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.
California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires
costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month
a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone
I did not cut my hair for investors. Or customers. Or ecosystem.
But my wife's mother met me with braids and said I couldn't come to meet the family carrying that hair.
I cut it, as much as I loved the hair but it was a worthy trade off.
You guys need to understand that everything in life is a trade off.
That light you are dimming, there's something you are also gaining.
You cannot have and eat your cake. You have to decide what you want.
i get where this person is coming from but one day you people will realize that these norms are simply what we agreed should be acceptable. so theyβre abstract and very subjective. so people have the right to simply not conform even if it does have consequences.
Except you own and manage a law firm in NIGERIA, please donβt listen to her. If you own a law firm, you can even decide to tattoo your forehead and meet clients like that. At the very least, you will get to advise Portable.
ππ Iβm so sorry , I had just walked in and all the lights and nerves didnβt let me see but i came back around to greet everyone properly, I have never been that girl to be disrespectful, Iβm a proper Yoruba girlllll and the video didnβt start until after Iβd greeted burnaβs mom ! Iβm very sorry to the legend, uncle and King Sunny Ade
Every-time i tried to have a conversation about her relationship with him
Sheβd manipulate me with the amount of sacrifice and work sheβs putting into ours.
Crazy times manπΉ
I need that shit and iβm grateful for it.
One thing about getting older is feeling yourself separate from your friends. Thereβs nothing malicious about it, just a realization that your journey with them may never intersect again
Please make your own friends this year and stop stealing other peopleβs friends that they introduced to you.
You are nothing but an opportunist, back stabber and betrayer, canβt work to get what is yours, grow up. π«΅πΎ
