AI Directed Laser Weeder

AI driven laser weeder just now on NBC. Remarkable, 1.5M dollar 'weeder' that takes the place of +/-30 farmhands. Simply stunning start to the ai farming revolution!

Somebody out there is just soaking-up "government funding" that shouldn't be available.

Just out of curiosity, why do you conclude that this is somehow government funded?

Need to get rid off roundup.

That stuff sure killed the weeds on my driveway. Cheap too.

Nowadays I have to weed it by hand - its banned where I live. (I don't have a spare $1.5M lying around for the robot either).

I was going to use vinegar and salt spray. I did use the poison ivy spray after a few years of trying to pull it up.

You'd think that automated farm would help. Not sure starting a fire with a laser is OK yet.

I use Borax.

Kills weeds and bugs.

Borax wasn't on shelves for about two year. Guess mules were out with cooties.
