@fredwilson challenged @seth on AI's ability to affect the physical world, leading to a case study response.
Claude Code, an AI, managed real corn growth from seed to harvest by making all decisions.
AI's role was likened to a farm manager: aggregating data, making decisions, and coordinating human operators.
Claude Code's functions included aggregating sensor data, weather forecasts, and orchestrating planting, irrigation, and harvest decisions.
The system coordinated with human operators, seed suppliers, and equipment, producing decision logs and actual corn.
Documentation includes a GitHub repository, decision logs, budget tracking, and a detailed process of how it was built.
