🚨UNCANNY VALLEY: WHEN SOFTWARE ISN’T ENOUGH Silicon Valley loves code—but not every problem can be solved with software alone. Jim Dukhovny: “If the problem is traffic, and your commute gets worse every year—that’s not just a software problem. That needs hardware. Investors fund solutions, not buzzwords.” Uncanny Valley with... show more

Absolutely on point. The myth that software alone can fix every real-world issue is fading fast. Traffic, infrastructure, climate—these demand hardware, policy, and systems thinking. Silicon Valley needs to stop chasing buzzwords and start funding real solutions.

Absolutely spot on, Mario. We're at a crossroads where innovation needs to transcend the digital realm. Traffic woes? They scream for smart infrastructure, not just another app. Let's build the future, not just code it! 🚀

it’s not his fault but why are you highlighting this really benign statement?

🚨UNCANNY VALLEY: WHEN SILICON VALLEY RUNS OUT OF THINGS TO CODE From finance to logistics to media, software ate the world. But what happens when there’s nothing left to digitize? Jim Dukhovny: “We automated most of the world—maybe more than people liked. At some point, there’s nothing left to turn into software. That’s when software must start complementing hardware.” Uncanny Valley with Dr Danish — only on 𝕏

🚨UNCANNY VALLEY: THE FLYING CAR THAT’S SIMPLER THAN IT LOOKS How can something that drives and flies be easier to build than a normal car? Jim Dukhovny says the answer is in the design: “It’s distributed electric propulsion under a carbon fiber body. Fewer parts, no engine, small batteries—just smart, simple structure.” You might not believe it—until you see it from the top. Uncanny Valley with Danish — only on 𝕏

🚨 UNCANNY VALLEY: SOFTWARE MEETS THE PHYSICAL WORLD Rajat Bhageria sees robotics not as sci-fi, but as the practical next step in fixing real labor problems. Founder of Chef Robotics, Rajat Bhageria: “55% of GDP is labor. The food industry is the third-largest labor force in the U.S. And 60–70% of that labor is in food assembly. That’s where robotics can make the biggest impact.” Uncanny Valley with Danish – only on 𝕏
