It will come Real Soon Now. As a former programmer, I know what that means. It does have the promise to be a real game changer, and kidding aside, I do think it will eventually be implemented.
However, I think it's also smart to come up with other curation strategies in the meantime. First, we don't know when it will come out (or how good it will really be). Second, this system is still very much in the birthing process - a preponderance of approaches, even (especially) failed ones, will help make it healthier in the long term. Third, there's no reason to think that current approaches and hivemind will be mutually exclusive.
I do some manual curation myself. On good days, I tell myself the above makes sense. On bad days, I tell myself it's a good rationalization to spend time browsing steemit rather than other social media.
cant wait for hivemind....communities will really change how steemit works
