Might be ovesensitive, but wtf is happening with that audio jack. I call AI

Fair

“It” is very ill defined. The AI they are selling you was never supposed to cure cancer. It was meant to make money. The AI which cures cancers is of a completely different kind than LLMs and media generation. And it does not have any of the same drawbacks nor any of the same funding despite it’s far greater usefulness.

For the tractor part, some people have started using vertical solar panels which still shield vegetation form wind, excessive sun… But leave much more room for vehicles.

Given that :

A : agriphotovoltaism, can drive up most field yields because loads of places are now too dry and too hot in the summer. Solar panels block the excess sun and keep the moisture in the ground. Conversely, you can’t park more cars under solar panels.

B : your average field is much larger than a car park. So installing a solar power plant is more efficient in a field (less paperwork per square meter, spend more time building than moving material around…).

C : car parks are often surrounded by buildings which will block the sun. This doesn’t happen on most fields (which rarely have tall trees)

D : a car raming into your poles is bound to happen and you pretty much have to replace the whole pole. A cow ramming into your pole might happen, the pole won’t give a fuck.

E : installing solar panels above car park is a lot more expensive (taller infrastructure, need more space between poles so need chonkier poles, maintenance high up is way more costly, etc ) And solar panel companies usually work on a much tighter budget than say the petrol industry for exemple. So every dollar counts

Anyway, next time please do some research instead of posting a divisive post and spreading misconception ;)

Edit : as some others pointed out :

• destroying natural environments in order to put up solar panels is not okay. Which i totally agree with. That’s why I was talking of agriphotovoltaism specifically.
• if we get the opportunity, we might as well put up solar panels in both fields and cities. We shouldn’t paint it as an either/or situation because it risks dividing the pro solar population and i don’t need to explain why this is a bad idea
