@waynehhsiung This upset me so much that my beagle (I have 4) got concerned and crawled on my lap to comfort me. They’re all like this. They’re the most gentle and loving dogs. They should never be in a lab - EVER. Thank you for being so brave ❤️
@ExxAlerts As an owner of 4 beagles, I support these activists - fk the law. How anyone could work there and willingly perform experiments that will most likely harm and traumatise innocent animals is beyond me. May they all rot in hell.
@JohnWayne_SV My first impression as well. His knowledge of Bitcoin has the kind of depth you’d expect from its creator. It sets him apart from the others, who all sound the same and barely scratch the surface.
Happy to come across this post. I taught a micropod during covid that focused in part on emerging tech and the future of work. We explored next gen farming, like vertical and micro, as well as how A.I and blockchain may be used to assist.
Will definitely get involved👏 🌱
Artificial intelligence doesn’t replace farming. It doesn’t replace mechanics or weavers or electricians or builders. It doesn’t pull weeds or fix valves or graft vines. What it does—if used well—is provide access. It’s a glorified search engine, yes, but one that understands context and pattern, that can extract and synthesise knowledge. Google spits out links. AI gives you frameworks. And that is what transforms things.
Not by replacing labour, but by informing it. Properly used, it means local knowledge no longer dies with the old farmer. It gets recorded. It gets passed on. It gets shared. People blog it, document it, adapt it, refine it. The conditions in your local valley—your pH, your weather, your microbes—can be matched with the best companion crops, pest defences, seasonal adjustments. This isn’t automation. It’s augmentation. And it’s available now to anyone with a mobile phone.
Jobs won’t vanish. They’ll change. The ones that stay will improve. Even on a microfarm, people will be hired—there’s irrigation to run, grafts to cut, boxes to pack, deliveries to load. Not everyone is going to want or be able to run a business, but the point is: they could. The knowledge gap is narrowing, and that’s everything. This is not some utopian flattening. It’s stratification by competence, not credential.
And it means you can build new economies in pockets of old decline. Not all will do it, but those who will? They’ll lead. And they’ll employ others in the process. Welcome to the shift.
@CsTominaga Love it. It’s brilliant because it’s inevitable. Everyone wants this (even if they don’t know it yet)😉 Would gladly rent my big backyard to local growers and perhaps even learn alongside them.
Best of luck with your farm! Looking forward to your updates🌴🍍🐣
