This whole company is obviously making shit up and selling snake oil, but also it is important for everyone to understand that it is morally good to set fire to this company's headquarters

Yeah, like - it would be terrifying if it worked, but now I just wonder how these idiots can get people to uncritically publish shit about a technology that does not exist and doesn't work.

There's "doesn't work" like ChatGPT doesn't work and Rabbit doesn't work or whatever. But this is more like how the millennium falcon doesn't exist and doesn't work, even though someone made a youtube short about building a lego model of it.

Right. This would be several tens of million dollars worth of work to even *have* a thing that doesn't work, as opposed to just not working out of the gate

It's not even like, an article about how you might design or build one.

It actually is purely the description of a plot from multiple scifi series, with a mediocre computer animation and voiceover. WHY DID THIS GET PUBLISHED LIKE IT WAS REAL?!

Because the publication exists for clicks, just like the "creative scientist" behind the project, whose expertise is supposedly in microbiology.

I normally avoid scare quotes, but I've just used them twice, that's how much I loathe this shit, both from that website and from the grifter pseudo-scientist.
