While I disagree with a majority of Larry Ellison's opinions, this is a venture that I think must be celebrated regardless of failures. There is such a lack of any green tech coming out of Silicon Valley that this one must get its due promotion. The front of agriculture and innovation is difficult but none of the technology is being used to sow hate amongst ourselves.
- ANewFormation 2y agoEven beyond green, it's nice to see things being tried in the real world that aren't just scammy/$ grabs. It's not quite as cooperative as the digital, but rather more relevant.
- worik 2y ago> it's nice to see things being tried in the real world that aren't just scammy/$ grabs. It would be nicer if it was not saddled by hubris and a lack of domain knowledge It would be great if it were not such a colossal waste
- ANewFormation 2y agoMeh results oriented thinking. Elon revolutionized rockets and electrical vehicles with 0 previous domain knowledge. In another timeline both concepts fail and he's just another clueless guy who blew a bunch of money on ideas outside his domain - doesn't mean it wasn't worth trying.
- spankalee 2y agoWhy does Silicon Valley need to be doing the innovation here? Agricultural techniques and tech are constantly improving. There's already a lot of money to be made improving all aspects of food production, incentivizing tons of non-SV companies to invest.

- RandallBrown 2y agoIs Silicon Valley doing the innovation? They have farms in Hawaii and Ontario with an office in LA.

- arkis22 2y agoThat is such a weird thing to say. People should just give up? You've got that famous quote from Edison about failing at make a light bulb. Or you think everyone who studies cancer and doesn't cure it should think of themselves as failures? God forbid you have a kid who wants to get better at something and you tell them to not bother because they're already a loser.
