So PepsiCo can utilize others prior breeding work, but prevents others from using their variety’s to breed with ?
If everyone who bred a potato patented it, we all suffer as breeders would be limited in what they can work with.

No, they have been cross pollinating parents with desirable traits to produce an offspring with more desirable traits. The same thing Pepsi did to make FC5 potato.
Here is the patent for the FC5 potato.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US6940004B2/en
Read it carefully because while the patent claims that it also would apply if transgenic modifications are added, the variety was developed through just classic breeding techniques, which are described in the patent in case you aren’t familiar.

No.
Objection when they are overly broad generic obvious and\or trivial
Am surprised even need to explain on this forum of coders. Many examples of bad boy software patents.

emperor has no clothes but this forum is full of people who wasted their money investing it and/or get paid to work on it.
today "AI is just spicy autocomplete" gets flagged off front page.
For MONTHS, front page has been full of sub-script-kiddie level "AI" tools that are just `curl "{static_prompt} + {user_input}" http://chatgptapi`
or mediocre examples of things that would have been impressive a computer could do in 1960, but are absolutely easier to do since 2010 with google or other tools.

Lol dude I just googled “script list IAM roles that contain policy” and this was the top result. Probably less typing than the usual silly authoritative tone people use when composing an “AI” prompt , like they’re Tony Stark or Captain Picard .
And trust me, once u google stack overflow enough pretty soon you won’t need to ask anyone how to output a csv

There is at least one misconception here that I can see. You don't need pure oxygen to initiate pyrolysis, combustion with atmospheric air is suitable to initiate pyrolsyis as well as gasification systems that pyrolyze biomass without any oxygen/combustion using electric resistive elements eg powered by solar pnaels if you want to learn more about gasificatoin theres soem great resources in the internet

Useful compared to writing a regex in notepad yeah.
Last time I was challenged by regex I easily found very fancy web page with so many nice features. Actual documentation, ability to select a specific regex engine (or implementation or whatever you call it) , real-time results on test data, highlighting that shows how the regex works, etc. and that was years ago I’m sure there’s even better web apps now.
I can’t imagine having a better experience asking AI chat than using a web app made for the purpose

>but... we could already do that?
that sums up so much.
the emperor has no clothes. few see it.
its inferior to the modern purpose built tools.
we act impressed a simple program can be created from a prompt, what has every programmer been doing already for the last 10 years with google search and stackoverflow?

No. I vow to never stop trolling. Please ban me with the most severe methods at your disposal. Ban every account I've ever made, every device, browser, user agent, and every IP I've ever used to visit this site. If you do not, I will use every ounce of my vitality to incessantly troll the comments here. I realize now this site is an echo chamber amplifying only what I consider to be the most dispicable parts of humanity: cruelty, exploitation and greed. I want no shred of my uniqueness and diversity of thought to contribute in any way what so ever the conversation here, (except in trolling form, to diminish it, which I will do unless you ban me as I requested in the first paragraph).
It will save me the time of remembering/figuring out where the hosts file is to block this domain on the OS of every device that I have.
