Travis Kalanick on the physical world as an atoms-based computer: "The vision for digitizing the physical world for me started at Uber. Treating atoms like bits started at Uber. It was sci-fi at one point. You would touch glass and a car would come to you." "CPU manipulates bits. What manipulates atoms? That's manufacturing. Storage stores bits. What stores atoms? That's real estate. Network moves bits from point A to point B. What moves atoms? That's transport." "That 10,000 square foot facility, I call it a 10,000 square foot semiconductor. It's a 30-core processor, 30 kitchens. They're computing atoms, not bits." @travisk @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg(a16z)
