This was a fascinating week - we are rolling out new features and getting your ideas on how to move forward. It is an exciting time. It is also a challenging time, as Sam Bogoch said during our interview, "There are real threats and real opportunities.... Instead, I think to focus on the creative possibility is to really say: This whole field is going to be unrecognizable in five years, and even more so in ten years.
"We can be the masters of this because we already understand the fundamentals, we’re already good at those, we already know how to make stuff that looks good and tells a great story. So you can either ride the wave or you can be kind of crushed by the wave." And how many times over the last twenty years have we found ourselves in exactly the same position?
Until next Monday, stay safe, stay healthy, and edit well.
