Yesterday we discussed the opportunities and risks of AI for the American food system with the Senate. TLDR: More federal funding needed from R&D through tech transfer thru business innovation thru farmer protection.

@ReidWeb @quocleix I’ve been using ChatGPT-4 for this with impressive results (requiring that I provide some bug feedback loops). Have you compared this between the two?

@GeezaColeman Wonderful!!

[Mason Earles @MasonEarles]

@GeezaColeman Nice! I’d highly recommend StreamLit if you’re up for a browser based app!
