When machines perceive, think, and act in the physical world at superhuman speeds, we're witnessing the convergence of three forces that will reshape everything.
The move from isolated sensors to integrated cyber-physical systems is the key insight here. I've worked with teams building warehouse automation and the real bottleneck was never sensor quality or algorithm speed alone, it was getting those elements to actually talk to each other in realtime. The Rubik's cube example is perfect because it collapses perception-decision-action into microseconds, which forces you to confront every latency issue simulataneously. Most orgs still treat AI as a software problem when it's increasingly a hardware integration challange.
Your experience perfectly captures the real challenge: it's never about sensor quality or algorithm speed alone, but getting those elements to actually communicate in real-time. When you compress perception-decision-action into microseconds, every latency issue becomes unavoidable.
This is why so many organizations still fail: they treat AI as a software problem when it's also a hardware integration challenge.
How do you see teams restructuring to handle this shift?

Thanks for your comment, I agree with you.
