So the race is on to engineer an effective fusion perimeter. One idea of a fuse is to make a group of large capacitors discharge at once, thus starting a reaction. That’s why, in our show, there were all these big personalities behind the audience. (You also see large-cap creations in other merger startups, like Helion.) Fuse’s goal, as JC describes it, is to become the SpaceX of mergers, enabling “big tech” breakthroughs with all kinds of partners.
Back to our story. JC called Cyrine and told her we were opening a second facility (the first was in Canada) and it would be nice to have an amazing opening party. Sirin, being the founder of a startup that also works, of course, on musical robots, makes obsessive logistical efforts. Charlotte, being a manager, does the same. Those of you with any life experience may be asking yourself: “This looks like an alien planet with two queens. Was it practical?” I will not answer you directly except to congratulate you on your wonderful wisdom.
Now you know the basics. I’m a scientist and I don’t enjoy superstitious ideas about reality, but several coincidences had to happen at just the right time for this show to air in a few weeks. At the last minute, we needed high-performance robots; UC Berkeley robotics professor Ken Goldberg found it for us. Why does reality sometimes coincide like this?
I used to perform high-tech, high-voltage music performances, often via virtual reality, in the 1980s and 1990s. I got burned. It was expensive, exhausting and exhausting. I was looking forward to the future when VR would become cheap and more people would know how to work with it. But when that time came, instead of relief, I had the feeling of becoming virtual reality also easy. There was a feeling of high risk. You had to make every triangle in the scene count, because there couldn’t be many, even though a computer doing the graphics in real time costs a million dollars. There is a palpable sense of interest in these early works.
If I crave the hassle and expense of being a stake guarantor, I’ve found it again with this offer. The week leading up to the show reminded me of those early days of VR. Late at night, which doesn’t come to me as easily as it used to, in training; Siren will be there trapped in cables and sportswear, designed by Thriasfor, but there is a timing problem with the robot’s movement. With help, she frees herself, reaches the screen, and does a high-speed programming for 10 minutes. The robots are slipping away again.
