      If you were a journalist told to go write a big scoop about Silicon Valley, what would it be?

      I would write about how the startup model is spreading into industries far removed from "tech."

      It's not software eating the world. It's very specifically startups eating the world, meaning new companies started by a couple people that make progress really fast. This model seems to work in more domains than it doesn't.

      It started in tech, but it looks like it's going to take over many if not most industries. If so, the world economy is going to be remade.

          The scalability of software doesn’t translate to most other industries so I wonder how this will work.

          Doesn't that sound more interesting, incidentally, than trying to smear Scott Alexander, or bust people for uttering heresies in Clubhouse conversations? God, reporters are lazy...

          You’re focused on the supply side of the equation, but what of the demand side?

          If you are writing again, and have enough data on this for an essay, and you think something you should write, I'm sure it would be a topic of broad interest. (my two cents)

          Fascinating! Could you elaborate? I can think of some tech-related industries (EVs, space, biotech) that are rife with startups. What are some examples of startup-like speed making it into more established domains?

          What about runaway, open-loop dynamics "eating" the branch they're sitting on? (or everyone else is [Amazon])
