Oy, this just gave me a dystopic angle on a collective intelligence initiative I'm excited about: using LLMs to get non-human entities like rivers on advisory boards.

> Voice of Nature - leveraging advanced environmental data, we're developing fine-tuned AI agents that can deliberate on behalf of non-human stakeholders & better represent/surface relevant information about our ecosystems, as a method to improve collective intelligence.

The dystopic angle: what if future energy goes into bringing nature into active engagement with capitalism...

Hopefully I'm never living in the world where someone has a bridge in Brooklyn to sell and the buyer is the Hudson River :)
