@WashedOutGundamPilot@poa.st @MeBigbrain@poa.st @Terry@bae.st it's not going to be that clean of course, but it's interesting to me to see what elon is doing with spacex and as el segundo gets a fresh wave of blood, there's a lot of static electricity in the air and one interesting thing about elon is that he's managed to channel it where the next generation of engineers can produce self-landing rockets even as we lament the lack of knowledge transfer from all the machinists of the previous generation. the main problem i see is that of capital, things have gotten so overregulated and restrictive that those with capital are the only ones that can move, which is why everyone is seemingly going insane over large caps and billionaires as the only people who can seem to get anything of worth done. i think it'll stay like this for a long time until the next economic shock shakes up the regulatory environment and economy, this might be ww3 or could just be a market crash once everyone figures out that all the AI investments are only going to produce a fraction of the returns that were expected couple with the bottoming out of commercial real estate and other assets people used to think were completely safe and didn't need to be thought about, but who can ever really know. i do think that the generational knowledge transfer failure will not be as drastic as we once thought it could be, but it will definitely be highly irregular, which is why we're already seeing some titans showing warning signs in environments that are a lot more dynamic: nike and disney come to mind of examples of quickly changing environments with corporate ideologies that might have many effects but pretty sure they also prevent that knowledge transfer and work to insulate themselves from reality until it's too late
