Brad Neuberg: if AI can build your software well, you're in a commoditized sector

In a reply thread, Brad Neuberg argues that everything is hard in space—power, thermals, reliability, radiation, conops, latency—which makes space software a frontier AI struggles with. Spatial computing is similarly hard because even humans can't articulate what interactions feel like, so AI can't model it. His broader point: if AI can do your software well, you're in a highly commoditized sector and should shift toward a frontier, likely one mixing bits with atoms.
