Seriously? More AI “Fixing” Things

Right, so Steph Curry’s VC firm – because apparently shooting hoops qualifies you as a logistics expert now – threw money at yet *another* AI startup. This one’s called SupplyWise (original name, I know), and they claim they can “fix” food supply chains with…wait for it…AI. Yeah, because that’s never been tried before.

Apparently, they want to use predictive analytics – groundbreaking stuff, truly – to anticipate disruptions like weather events or demand spikes. They’re starting with shrimp, of all things. SHRIMP. Because the world is clearly suffering from a lack of efficiently-delivered crustaceans. They’ve got some seed funding and are promising better forecasting for everyone involved.

The whole thing reeks of buzzword bingo and venture capital desperation. They’re talking about “real-time visibility” and “end-to-end optimization.” Honestly, it sounds like a slightly fancier spreadsheet with a robot voice. And the article glosses over any actual *proof* this works beyond some vague pilot programs. Just more hype to inflate valuations before the inevitable crash.

Look, supply chains are complicated. AI isn’t magic. It’s code written by people who probably haven’t seen a farm in their lives. Don’t get me started on the “sustainable” angle they’re pushing. It’s all marketing fluff.

Honestly, I expect to see this thing fail spectacularly within 18 months. But hey, at least Curry will have something else to tweet about.

Speaking of failures, remember that time some bright spark decided to automate a tomato farm with robots? Lasted three weeks before the entire system was overrun by aphids and the tomatoes started rotting on the vine. Good times. Seriously, leave things alone.
