This is amazing

[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

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

@david_protein The other flavors have 28g protein on 150cals. Why does this one have less?

@cornholdio @we4ry @zelinarxy it would be so much worse if govt wouldn't have any ways to take money out of circulation. There are many examples of hyperinflation events around the world

[Don Korbsan @omsn]

@cornholdio @we4ry @zelinarxy two reasons
1. to create demand for domestic currency. Taxes need to be paid in USD, so it forces folks to hold certain amount of USD
2. to control inflation. If you only put money into the economy but never take it out, prices will skyrocket

@alexfinn It’s not black and white. The happiness and relaxation an ice cold beer on a sunny day creates outweighs the damage it does. Just like with everything, moderation is key

@denverbitcoin Another less depressing way to look at this: it’s not “borrowing” if the borrower is the one who prints the money. Instead, it’s pumping money into the economy which eventually needs to be taken out again via taxes

OMG this is huge!

@Josh_Robes @Steinernomics @GRomePow two reasons
1. to create demand for the currency, which is *one* important tool to keep US dollar strong. You can't pay taxes in Euros
2. to create "inflow", taking money out of circulation, which is *one* important tool to control inflation
