Let this be a lesson, when a company goes mainstream due the eccentricity of its CEO instead than the quality or proved innovation of its services/products that's a red flag, even more so when respected professionals on the area claim the progress such company claims to have made is not feasible...
I have a hunch that Magic Leap will end up being some kind of epic disappointment along the lines of Theranos.

- etrautmann 10y agoI don't think the comparison is apt. Magic leap is attempting something that many think is impossible, but if they don't succeed, they're not faking blood tests and putting people's health diagnoses on the line. Yes, if they don't succeed, some investors will lose a lot of money, but the risk isn't falling on users.
