This is an interesting discussion. I think throughout our history there has usually been a divide or wall that separates Software and Hardware. There didn't feel like too much of a collaboration between the two, where they push the other even further. The closest I've seen before was with the computer graphics and graphics card. Usually, it is the hardware that is the bottleneck. But with AI and robotics, it seems the line has blurred. It is like we are just waiting for the software side for us to attain better robots. And once we do, productivity will skyrocket, and more advancements will come.

The separation has been bits versus atoms.
Yet we are seeing that merging. So how does this change things.
That is a good question. If software enables the creation of better hardware (smaller processors, transistors, chips, etc through better design, and better robot capabilities), and better hardware produces stronger software (generative AI, inference, metaverse, etc), this can have a snowball effect. If they can create 1:1 version of the world in the metaverse they can do more accurate simulations there before creating the actual things. The possibilities are endless.
