That is, extropic AI will seem to be on the Theranos path.

the essential claimed innovation never existed or was ever feasible at all. It doesn't have to be criminal.

i.e. they don't have to have faked tests etc but they must have been promoting something which was nothing more than hype, no actual existing technical innovation at all. Similarly to how there are zero companies following on Theranos's work, since there was nothing just hope.

I'd question your claim that nobody has continued to work in the direction that Theranos claimed to have made breakthroughs.

For example...

However, I understand the spirit of the question. I think that Extropic is not fraudulent, in that I believe there are ways to replicate the behaviours of AI models using physical phenomenon rather than matrices of floating point numbers.

I will be interested to see if they've made demonstrable progress by 2027.

I watched the video below and all I could think of was Theranos. Funny there's a market on exactly that.

I'm not 100% sure it's a scam or anything, but that's how it feels to me.

@jim yep, feels good doesn't it. I find it happens fairly regularly on here - that people's 'suspicion sensors' go off and you find someone else was also doubting, or at least wanting to see what others thought rather than just believe what was presented to them

bought Ṁ10 NO

As in 'hyping product that doesn't work', or as in 'fraud, crimes'? Those are very different
