maybe i'm working on software for supply chain routing. maybe i'm making a commodity trading bot that more accurately prices wheat futures. AI helps with both of those things.

We have supply chain routing software already. Humans wrote it, humans can improve it. Getting ai in the loop won’t change the realities of the supply chain, except maybe they’ll hire less programmers.

How does that benefit me? Further financializing food production seems like a bad thing.

Not to mention all of what you’ve described could be run on a $1000 consumer GPU in a PC somewhere.
