New food technologies could release 80% of the world’s #farmland back to nature

"Food production, #biodiversity and #CarbonStorage in ecosystems are competing for the same land.

Unless food production is tackled head-on, we are left resisting inevitable change, often with no hope of long-term success."

Stunning development:

"Europe’s food and farming lobbies have recognised the need to eat less #meat after hammering out a shared vision for the future of agriculture with green groups and other stakeholders.

The stakeholders also agreed on the need for a major rethink of subsidies, calling for a “just transition fund” to help #farmers adopt sustainable practices, and targeted financial support to those who need it most."

Veure com un operari pren el control dels anomenats taxis autònoms, per solucionar problemes q les màquines no solucionen automàticament, com objectes o esdeveniments imprevistos a la via pública, posa els pels de punta, imagina't que ets dins del vehicle.

My brother sent this podcast episode my way. TIL some guy wrote a biography about himself, trained an #AI bot on it, then sent it to a therapy call about anxiety for him. Apparently the therapist had her suspicions but rolled with it. He later called her to explain his ‘experiment.’

Now, I guess she could have an AI write a biography about her, then go to a therapy session for her about being punked by an AI bot……

Has anyone counted how many different words he used with that 2 minute answer? I think it was less than 30.

His vocabulary is becoming more and more limited. You might think the folks who write words everyday for a living would notice or maybe they have because they are no longer stenographers for Weird Donald. They have become his translators.

People crowing about Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris... I'm not sure that's the win you think it is.
in reply to T. J. Bombadil

"win" may be a strong word, but it is certainly significant. Not unlike when Darth Vader decides that Palpatine is taking things a wee bit too far at the end of Jedi. I don't know that it'll make any difference, but if the news actually gets out among low information conservatives, maybe it peels a point or two away from Trump in a couple battleground states.
