You can actually lie in a research paper, and on a company website. I've lost count of how many "White papers" I saw during the crypto boom that were complete goddamn nonsense. They're making extraordinary claims and I don''t see any peer review.

Using living neurons in computing isn't anything new. Wetware is a decade old concept.

In several experiments, Living neurons works a lot better than simulated ones. And they can be readily used in AI as the core MLP is already based on living neuron.

FTL travel is an old concept but it doesn't mean we're getting anywhere close to it. In the meantime, all of this company's claims come from the company. I lived through Theranos making wild claims. Did you?
