^ been thinking about this for a while and i think there’s going to be (already is?) a huge divide between people consuming ~exclusively algorithm-served content vs people consuming human-curated content
Skunk Works adopted the “Responsible Engineer” mentality, rather than traditional systems engineering. just as spacex does.
