That's exactly my point, though: software doesn't really "power" any if those things. They are powered by solar/gas/etc. And the robotics that do the actual agriculture tasks are created in a factory. The value software brings has a hard upper bound related to those things.
- chrisco255 4y agoThey are created in a factory that itself is powered by automation and robotics, that enables teams of hundreds to do the work that would formerly take tens of thousands. As far as energy goes, software also helps to optimize oil exploration, and software is clearly involved in optimizing solar efficiency and production of solar cells. It's also involved in nuclear facilities, power distribution networks, charging stations, grid management systems, etc. The limits of software haven't even begun to be tapped yet.
