Everyone tries to replicate bell labs, but no one has been close. Simply spending the money isn’t enough to get there.

  This is exactly why the "hollywood model" of fast iterative cycles of focused peer-evaluated research is such an exciting development. I think Ink & Switch are presenting a model for industrial research that could absolutely be replicated by other teams following a similar style of output-oriented work.

    I feel like that would lead to burnout of the staff working at that pace for a career. What would be interesting if we could be empowered to go back to that say 19th century idea of the reasearcher. You know, someone with all their wants and needs seemingly acceptably met, tinkering on some obsession they have in their workshop/lab on their own property or out collecting data around the world. Only with modern technology and ideas of course.

      I think it’s fair that a 19th century style of life doesn’t exist in the 21st century.

        Same human though. Evolution doesn’t move as fast as society. No wonder so many burn out and seemingly only the sociopaths find success in this modern world.
