I think the author just lives in a bubble and assumes agriculture is the same way they saw it 20 years ago.

Meanwhile image recognition is already being used to identify weeds to avoid spraying on the entire crop. Combines are somewhat self driving.

We use drones and satellite imagery to evaluate crop health and yields. To say there has been no advancement means that either they don't know what they're talking about or living under a rock. But then its people pushing AI hype so it could just be that they're just trying to trick people that don't know better to believe the hype.

Many people who advocate for technologies appear to have zero capability of understanding that the world exists outside of their own understanding, so aren't even capable of forming questions like "how was this done in the past?" or "are these problems real?"

Hi, I just wondering what you think if we change the statement a little bit. Maybe it's wrong if we say there has been no advancement. But can we say it's slower to adopt all these technologies in agriculture?

I think the author just lives in a bubble, period. The example of the Chinese credit industry is a stretch at best. UnionPay has been around for at least a couple decades, China is far from having "totally skipped" traditional credit cards.

I know someone who in the last 10 years was involved in a project to drive trackers. From space. And not like R&D, from what I understand, they're selling this at the moment.
