Ah no sorry for the scare quotes. Was just meaning to link it what you are saying.
it is physically demanding, but worse is LONG hours (and early hours, milking starts at 5). I think whats also bad about the way they are employed now is that US ag doesn’t have upward mobility (promotion to manage)
Not to be too nitpicky here, but given the hours they work and the profit margins, most dairy farmers almost certainly do this work for an effective wage less than that amount. I think most farmers are quite aware how little money there is to be made in farming.
also the beautiful train is almost completely empty.
Not to imply that ag workers aren't mistreated, but this article does not indicate the workers were underpaid for their work.
$14-$20/hour is typical for ag work, and far above the minimum wage for Wisconsin.

IMO one of the most useful ways to think about LLM use-cases is "Would someone in Star Trek use the ship's computer to do this? If they did, would the episode be about how that's a lame thing to do?"

It’s pretty clear that even though the makers of Star Trek didn’t think through computing most people in the Federation are just interfacing with LLMs all the time, from the Holodeck to the science station
