  "text": "Silicon Valley worships the survivors. It polishes their origin stories and ignores the bodies left behind.\n\nBut the failures often carry the most signal.\n\nI’ve been tracking @kscalelabs for months in robotics. When they announced last month they were shutting down, I had to dig in to find out what happened, and the lessons we can learn\n\nThey built a functional, open-source humanoid faster than competitors with $600M in funding. Their goal was to put a working robot in your living room for under $9,000.\n\nThey had speed. They had conviction. They had the product. And they still hit the wall.\n\nWhat they got right (and why they died) reveals an uncomfortable truth about robotics, capital, and openness in a market that doesn't know how to reward it.\n\nHere is our autopsy of a beautiful failure (link below)",
