these big names at the top (thiel, musk, etc) ive really just started to tune them out. they're all bored, have too much money, and are obsessed with futurism & getting people to follow them into their lame visions of the future at all costs. they're p much entirely decoupled from the economic plights you and i face, they just play a different game altogether and any potential gamble for savings is never framed as a "this can make things better for everyone" but more or less just funneled through ... uh, i dont know shareholder opportunity or something.
i don't doubt there's plenty of upside in agriculture/farming to be had with technology, i just no longer find it meaningful when people from this social class are trying talking about them. something is really off putting now when silicon valley types try to be authority figures on completely different industries, it's super presumptuous. think they've lost the plot quite a bit here, i dont think anyone should be interested in their ideas of the future at all. they've done enough damage. all these dudes ever needed was to go to therapy, all we need now is for them to leave us alone. the incessant need to be the guy with the big ideas these guys are constantly displaying is just so exhausting at this point. wish they'd just go buy a beach and drink liquor out of coconuts and disappear, no one needs to move fast and break things and shake cows
This isn't a Thiel / Musk idea though .. not in the slightest.
This is a decade old New Zealand idea, spawned ground up from dairy farmer adjacent New Zealanders, that has recently sought funding and are now being backed by Thiel et al.
I'm saddened to see them now being in the pocket of SV venture caps .. good for them for fast, easy, large amounts of development and FU money .. but ultimately likely a loss for the AU/NZ dairy industries who will wake up to being controlled via subscription services piped through offshore clouds and having their owns cows being held to ransom and potentially forced to walk off cliffs by bored hackers or indignant Iranians.
