Episode notes

i don't believe, and agree it is flawed to think that jobs like mine are going to be the solution to to automation. Ah, i mean, part of the whole thing of being on the jungle floor is ah, there's lots of niches to fill, but the nature of the internet is such that only a couple of people can fill them. Once they're filed, they're filled. And maybe this is just a fault of my inne this is my inability to predict out where these new jobs will be created. But i can't see where they're going to go, where they'll be able to make a contribution to the human race. I'm not able to predict

In this week’s episode we spend a good bit of time revisiting the native ads discussion, then dive into the different ways that Twitter and Facebook have handled the news this week. From there we discuss Twitter’s timeline changes, the realities of venture capital, and whether or not our entire economic system will survive the automation revolution. Yes, it gets deep quickly!
