    Animal use and abuse is not the solution.

      The talk ommits the well-being of farm animals. It’s not only humans we should care about.

    Malnutrition is running rampant all over Asia, Africa, and in other continents. But mostly in Asia and Africa that’s a common issue that still has to be addressed consecutively.

    The problem is they are letting their animals run rampant leading to overgrazing and destroying the soil leading to desertification. They need the right education on how to manag their land and livestock.

    Hooray!!!!! It’s high time someone saw the light. Thank you so much. The West only ever send Africa grain and it’s done them no good at all. It does us no good either.

    We should never have allowed the world to turn to grain manufactured oils. Can you imagine how much land it uses to grow that stuff and the enormous amount of water that’s dragged up from a couple of miles underground to water those sunflowers etc.? That land was stolen from the cattle.

    The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says about 33% of food is lost or wasted worldwide, about 1.3 billion tons per year, while 783 million people suffer chronic hunger. ????☮????????

    If we are to contribute something good, it is a bit weak if it is to be at the expense of the lives and suffering of other beings.
    I guess it’s not about limiting goodness to one species, race or nation, at least that’s how I understand it 🙂

Can a handful of engineers really do the work of an army of consultants? That’s the bet behind Ode with Anthropic — the joint venture dedicated to embedding forward-deployed engineers in enterprise firms, backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs and others.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Ode’s leaders Chris Taylor and Eddie Siegel, who founded Fractional AI, the applied AI services startup that Ode acquired earlier this year to serve as the new venture’s core. The three discuss why so many enterprise AI pilots never make it to production and why they think AI-native services are about to become one of the biggest categories in tech.

Subscribe to Equity on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts. You also can follow Equity on X and Threads, at @EquityPod.
