According to an article here a few days ago, 70% of people just accept whatever AI tells them without thinking.

Biofuel is made from corn, not soy.
70% of farmland, water, chemicals, transportation fuel, is used to support industrial meat production.
Still, Slashdot doesn't have to play along with their weasel wording. For example, "ergonomic collars that deliver an electric pulse" - just say "shock collar". Don't help them whitewash what they're talking about.
Yes.
As far as humans getting hurt, it also could apply to the well documented health damage of meat... Heart disease, cancer, etc.
I was talking about threats to farm animals, not humans.
Vegans are generally known to be non violent. (Just don't try to take away their tofu.
It's actually not even "cow farts". The problem is from the other end... cow burps. They produce an incredible amount of methane in their dual stomachs.
Would be interesting of these AI wired up cows would also monitor their CO2 production but the oligarchs probably aren't interested in that.
Nature has a way of correcting human errors.
What a waste of money.
This is a pure vanity project. We need the money here on earth to bomb our neighbors.
Rather than thinking of better ways to raise more beef, it would better to reduce beef consumption.
Industrial beef production uses 70% of agricultural land for feed, pasture, water, etc. including lots of chemical inputs and massive amounts of CO2 produced by the cattle and the all of the agricultural activity.
Why would you want to?
People always come up with these ridiculous cases where I need to tow my 5 ton motor home 3000 miles to grandmas house for Christmas.
If you prefer, just keep sending money to the petro-states and corrupt corporations and keep funding wars to keep the whole thing running.
Nobody is going win this war.
We all lose.
Physical death and destruction in the Middle East. Economic destruction in the rest of the world.
The Middle East will take years to recover (if ever).
The rest of the world will be permanently scarred.
It's truly a World War (III).
You're confusing the importance of avoiding Kessler syndrome in LEO with the difficulty of causing Kessler syndrome. GEO debris can potentially remain there for millions of years before interactions between the gravitational pull of the Sun, Earth, and Moon sufficiently perturb it. LEO debris remains for weeks to months. You have to have many orders of magnitude more debris in LEO to trigger Kessler Syndrome, where the rate of collisions exceeds the rate of debris loss.
The fact that a LEO Kessler Syndrome would also be short is something that exists on top of that.
It's also worth nothing that not only are modern satellites not only vastly better at properly disposing of themselves than they were in the 1970s when Kessler Syndrome was proposed, but they're also vastly better at avoiding debris strikes. All of these factors are multiplicative together.
