Invest in companies which deliver great user experiences. People and their money will always gravitate to those companies.
This of course applies only to products targetting people. This strategy won't work with say, Lockheed, where their products literally target people.
@ylecun@SwipeWright@elonmusk@jeremymstamper@bneiluj@how_many_roads_ Yann, you work for a company where the core business model is being a literal cancer to society at large.
Facebook and Instagram’s products likely killed more kids than Lockheed or Raytheon.
