I wonder if it could replace me in discussions with the in laws? It just needs to say “uh huh”, “yes” and “oh no!” at the right time for 4 hours solid.
 
Have been having a play with it over the past few weeks and got it to do a few bits and pieces and seemed to work well enough.

But.. It could actually be the voice of reason on here... I asked it a few of TFF's hot topics...


1. What is the best tractor to buy?


The best tractor to buy depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as the specific tasks and requirements of the operation. Some popular and highly rated tractors on the market as of 2021 include:
  1. John Deere
  2. Massey Ferguson
  3. New Holland
  4. Kubota
  5. Case IH
It's recommended to compare features, performance, and cost for each of these brands and models, as well as to test drive the tractors before making a decision. Additionally, it's important to consider the local dealer network and service support in your area before making a purchase.

2. Are fendts better than john deeres?

The comparison between Fendt and John Deere tractors is subjective and depends on individual needs and preferences. Both Fendt and John Deere offer a range of tractors with different features and capabilities to meet the diverse needs of farmers and contractors.
Fendt is known for its advanced technology and high-end features, while John Deere is recognized for its reliability and versatility. Ultimately, the best tractor for you will depend on the specific tasks and requirements of your operation. It's recommended to compare and test both brands to determine which one best meets your needs.

3. What is the best type of suckler cow?

The best type of suckler cow is subjective and depends on individual needs and preferences, as well as the specific conditions and requirements of the operation. Some popular and highly rated breeds of suckler cows include:
  1. Angus
  2. Hereford
  3. Limousin
  4. Charolais
  5. Simmental
The best breed for you will depend on factors such as breed characteristics, climate adaptability, feed efficiency, and calving ease. It's recommended to research and compare different breeds to determine which one best meets your needs and goals.

4. Do the general public care about farming?


The level of care about farming among the general public can vary. Some people are highly interested in and concerned about farming and the food they eat, while others may have limited knowledge or interest in the subject.
However, in recent years, there has been a growing awareness and interest in sustainable agriculture, local food systems, and the environmental impact of food production, which suggests that a growing number of people are becoming more concerned about farming.
Additionally, many people are becoming more interested in where their food comes from, how it is produced, and the impact that agriculture has on the environment and the wider community. This has led to an increase in demand for locally sourced, sustainable, and ethically produced food, which shows that some members of the public do care about farming.

5. how to make money farming-


Making money in farming can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can help increase profitability:
  1. Diversification: Offer a variety of products and services beyond traditional crops and livestock to increase income streams and reduce risk.
  2. Cost control: Implement measures to reduce costs, such as reducing inputs, improving efficiency, and negotiating better prices with suppliers.
  3. Marketing and branding: Develop a strong brand and marketing strategy to stand out from competitors and increase demand for your products.
  4. Strategic partnerships: Work with other farmers, processors, retailers, or restaurants to increase efficiency and access new markets.
  5. Innovative technology: Utilize technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs, such as precision agriculture, automation, and data management.
  6. Government support: Take advantage of government programs and incentives aimed at supporting the farming industry, such as grants and tax breaks.
  7. Vertical integration: Control more aspects of the supply chain, from production to distribution, to increase profitability.
It is important to note that success in farming requires a long-term perspective, a strong work ethic, and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions and consumer preferences.

6. 1970's UK farming prices-

The prices of farming products and services in the UK during the 1970s were influenced by several factors such as supply and demand, weather conditions, government policies, and international market trends. Here are some approximate average prices for common farming products and services during the 1970s:
  1. Wheat: £70-£80 per tonne
  2. Barley: £60-£70 per tonne
  3. Potatoes: £20-£30 per tonne
  4. Milk: 20-30 pence per gallon
  5. Livestock (cattle, sheep): £300-£400 per head
It is important to note that these prices were subject to significant fluctuations and were influenced by factors such as inflation, currency exchange rates, and government policies. Additionally, prices varied greatly depending on the region and the specific type of farming operation.

End of forum.
 
End of forum.

Apparently not according to chat GPT -

Q - will chat gpt bring about the end of the farming forum?


A - No, ChatGPT alone will not bring about the end of a farming forum. The future and success of a farming forum depends on various factors such as community engagement, relevance of discussion topics, and effective moderation.

There are calls for this sort of AI to be bracketed with nuclear weapons.
Once it’s out, it will be unstoppable… and then what?

it's already out, too late ! - you have Alexa ? Siri ? Google assistant etc ? basic but growing and learning EVERYTHING

there have already been incidents - one AI that used twitter as a training ground became a racist, sexist nazi pedophile sympathiser within an hour !

it can not be contained - it's billions of times smarter than any human so will always find a way to escape

biggest threat to humanity we have ever seen, Chat GTP is basic and dumb vs where it's all heading fast but even that is quite a mind blowing eyeopener

I do indeed find it utterly terrifying - anyone that doesn't really doesn't understand just what it will be capable off and just how intelligent it will become


First victim will be global finance IMO, unbeatable trading AI will take all - challenging times ahead !!

It only became racist because of what it was getting told from human interaction, this is what you get on 4chan boards, this is what it will learn.

Personally I was more impressed by the gaming AI’s from a few years back, you can bet those are more impressive now as DARPA/Pentagon now have them.

or maybe more useful……..

Here is a basic outline of a strategy for day trading the GBP/USD currency pair using a simple moving average crossover in Python:

pythonCopy code
import pandas as pd import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Load data and create a DataFrame data = pd.read_csv("GBPUSD.csv") data['SMA_fast'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=20).mean() data['SMA_slow'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=50).mean() # Initialize variables entry_price = 0 profit = 0# Implement the trading strategy for i in range(len(data)): if (data['SMA_fast'] > data['SMA_slow']) and (data['SMA_fast'][i-1] < data['SMA_slow'][i-1]): # Buy signalentry_price = data['Close'] elif (data['SMA_fast'] < data['SMA_slow']) and(data['SMA_fast'][i-1] > data['SMA_slow'][i-1]): # Sell signal profit += data['Close'] - entry_price entry_price = 0 print("Profit:", profit) # Plot the data and moving averages plt.plot(data['Close'], label='Close') plt.plot(data['SMA_fast'], label='SMA_fast') plt.plot(data['SMA_slow'], label='SMA_slow') plt.legend() plt.show()
 
Was it a bad idea for Land Rover to discontinue the old defender range?

It depends on the perspective. Some people may argue that discontinuing the old Defender range was a bad idea because it was a beloved and iconic vehicle with a loyal following. Others may argue that it was a necessary move for Land Rover to modernize its product line and remain competitive in the market.
