The next Bell Labs won't need a cash cow. It'll need a distribution cow. Just published "The New Moonshots" on why AI means innovation hubs will come from lean teams with great distribution, not deep pockets. Unlike cash, which gets spent, distribution compounds. Also included: - why having a lot of excess cash might actually be a hindrance - my prediction on the market demand for "internal indiehackers" https://www.flyingpenguins.io/p/the-new-moonshots

I don’t have high hopes - the late 80s to early 00s were just a magical time in human history - a beautiful blend of analog and digital, of wonder and discovery. We are in stuck culture now, but tech can still be exciting too (AI, etc) but imo we will never recapture that magic

To be fair, YouTube et al. (Kick, Rumble) have also played their part in proliferating these trends (prank/property destruction/purposeful bad behavior videos are pretty heinous, like Johnny Somali)

Part of me thinks that China is just trying to (and successfully) play the capitalist social media game and of course reap data harvesting benefits in the process, but more concerning is how it seems to be shaping culture and attention spans
