In this quick edit, we take a look at Daniel Brown’s (Archon Mining) AI model he has trained to recognize precious opal, potch, sandstone etc. I feel slightly threatened, but quickly remember the many million of years of highly sophisticated dopaminergic systems us little ol’ humans have that keeps us digging where AI is still just growing a brain.. Albeit relatively quickly! To prove the point we get sweaty checking a shaft for more potch, but again, my brain is telling me the big one is juuuust a few inches away.. (tricky old dopamine).. The next day sees us on a ‘hit and run’ where we virtually abseil down, check an entire claim, grab a fistful of colour and skedaddle before the nighshifters are even out of bed....
