Our vision

One of the more interesting events of the week outside of Tom Brady cloning his dog was the Japan Mobility Showcase. This event brought new concepts to the stage giving us a glimpse into the future where there are many different forms of transportation both autonomous and human-driven. The biggest tech companies are now looking for a new stretch of land to build their next data center. It just so happens that the best location is orbiting above our planet in space.

With both Google and Elon joining the startups that are already moving into the upper atmosphere we’re looking at an expansion to the last frontier to snap up real estate for infrastructure powering the future. Honda’s rocket from the Mobility Showcase will come in handy when more companies are sending up computers on reusable cargo rockets.

AI has another busy week with new products being released, companies rebranding as they gobble up competitors and more physical AI demonstrations from around the planet in some of our biggest cities. While many believe there could be an AI bubble in the investing world, it’s clear that the world is firing on all cylinders building new technologies and creating new jobs as others are being laid off. Keep an eye on the adoption of new coding and design tools that are powered by generative AI.

Lastly Marques Brownlee’s latest video made some great observations about the state of the humanoid robot industry. While there still seems to be time before we have a privacy-preserving locally running AI driven humanoid robot in our homes this time next year, it is still exciting that we are heading towards a future like Star Wars where we will have robotic companions in all shapes and sizes.
