        They certainly have little interest in you if you’re a waiter at some shitty restaurant, sure. But do you really think they don’t target the agricultural, construction or food industries and the technologies they may be developing?

          Your average farmer isn’t developing any new crops, your average builder isn’t designing new construction mechanisms, and your average restaurant isn’t developing a new way to cook food. There are specific R&D centers for all that stuff. At best, the end users of that technology get to beta-test the functionality.

          There are exception to everything, but farmers wouldn’t be remortgaging their homes for drones and millimeter-precision GPS systems if they could just build that tech themselves.
