- spywaregorilla 5y agoA science fiction story about a group of machine learning data labelers who get outsourced to neural interface outfitted livestock sounds promising.
- bavent 5y agoBecause everything on this planet and beyond exists only for humans to exploit and use up? That’s a very narrow take on things.
- worik 5y agoNo. Animals that humans breed, farm, and that rely on humans for every aspect of their lives. They exist for humans to exploit. That is a very narrow part of things
- asdf3243245q 5y agoIsn't that a circular argument? They only exist for humans to exploit because humans put them in that situation.
- worik 5y agoYes. We could stop, then no cows or pigs.
- bavent 5y agoSo because humans started exploiting them, obviously we can’t stop. Right.
- Qi_ 5y agoI agree with this. Religiously, I believe plants and animals are for the benefit of mankind. However, they must be used responsibly.

- trainsplanes 5y agoThey're domesticated versions of wild animals that existed long before humans. And if you let a pig out of its pen, it'll very quickly return to its instinctual lifestyle and absolutely thrive virtually anywhere. Wild pigs have no problem attacking people and even eating them. Pigs exist just for humans as much as coyotes do. Which is to say, they don't.
