And then you've got three, you know, like right now there's a handful of major chemical manufacturers, right?
Yeah.
I don't like how few single points of failure there are in that sector, especially how much they touch our food.
So have we thought about that when we talk about automation and AI and the way that we're promising all of these benefits?
And so like the chicken and the egg question for me is like, is it the use case or the marketing that comes first for some of these tools?
And I've told you this story before, but when I researched this years ago, again, just for fun, not for fun, it was for a paper forever.
or a job I had, but there were, you'd go to like a conference and they said like, these are robot pickers for strawberry farms and they're going to pick the strawberries off, you know, and so that humans don't have to do it.
And the farmers were like, no, we actually need people to check our rat traps because we have, you know, physical labor that
should be doing other things and they have to go and see if the traps have closed and snapped and need to be replaced or not.
And that can easily be replaced by a sensor.
And I was like, wow, I never would have thought about that.
It's like the most simple use case.
It's easy to produce.
It's low cost and it would save so much time and efficiency.
But you go, you see these other groups and they're like, you know, no driverless tractors.
And I'm like, who asked for that?
I'm genuinely asking who I want to know where they go to get these like, you know, what do their field studies look like?
It was just close years ago for like that provenance or chain of custody aspect to put like QR codes on tons of food so you could, you know, scan it and check where it came from.
Did that die or is that still a thing I've just not used at the grocery store?
