This is WILD. Peter Thiel just bet $2 billion on a collar that wraps around a cow’s neck. The company is called Halter and it has a proprietary algorithm that runs the entire operation. They actually trademarked the name for it and called it the Cowgorithm and here's how it works. A farmer opens an app, taps a button, and 600,000 cows across three countries start walking toward the milking station on their own. No farm dogs, fences or physical labor, it's just a solar-powered GPS collar sending sound and vibration cues to each animal. The collar does more than move cows around. It monitors digestion, fertility cycles, and health patterns in real time, 24 hours a day, using machine learning trained on the behavior of hundreds of thousands of animals. Halter was founded by a rocket engineer who built spacecraft at Rocket Lab before deciding that farming was the bigger unsolved problem. US ranchers alone have already used the technology to build over 11,000 miles of virtual fencing, roughly the full perimeter of the continental United States, saving an estimated $220 million in physical fencing costs. Halter's previous funding round valued the company at $1 billion. This new round, led by Thiel's Founders Fund, doubles that valuation to $2 billion before the new money even hits the account. And they charge farmers between $5 and $8 per animal per month on a subscription model, meaning the more cows they collar, the more locked-in the revenue becomes. The most powerful venture capitalist on earth just decided that the future of food and farming runs through an algorithm named after a cow. He might be right.

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 12 hours? > Goldman Sachs said $450 billion in AI investment contributed "basically zero" to US economic growth.. the Chief Economist said it on record.. > Uber dropped $1.25 billion on Rivian to build 50,000 robotaxis.. the drivers who built the company are about to be replaced by the cars.. > Jeff Bezos started raising $100 billion to buy manufacturing companies and automate them with AI.. he's not building factories.. he's buying them to empty them.. > DoorDash launched an app that pays people to film themselves doing chores.. not for content.. for AI training data.. so robots can learn to replace them.. > OpenAI bought Astral.. the open source Python tools that millions of developers loved.. bolted it onto their coding agent.. the community is furious.. > Cursor dropped Composer 2.. their own AI model that beats Claude on coding benchmarks.. a 50-person startup outperformed a $30 billion lab.. > Hollywood resurrected Val Kilmer with AI to star in a new movie.. he died of cancer.. never filmed a single scene.. they built a digital version of him.. > HSBC is planning deep job cuts using AI to gut their middle and back offices.. > UK unemployment hit 5.2%.. AI hasn't even started firing people yet.. > Fortune 500 updated the AI price tag to $4.5 trillion.. 93% of US jobs vulnerable to disruption.. > Nvidia GTC is happening right now.. Jensen closed his keynote with singing robots and a digital clone of himself.. the man selling the shovels is also selling the future.. all of this happened in ONE day.. a single Thursday.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..





Scarcity + relationship-first AI = a strong signal. Hey @NoahAI isn’t trying to scale to everyone—just the people who value meaningful connections. That’s a bold positioning.
