The author argues that the current bottleneck in robotics isn't AI capability, but rather an infrastructure problem.
- Core Needs: Robots require the ability to identify themselves, pay each other, exchange data, and leave an auditable trail of their actions.

- Social Metaphor: As humans become more plugged into their devices, they are turning into digital NPCs, while AI is rapidly expanding its presence in the physical world.
