While we're on the subject, what happened to uBeam?
- kragen 2y agosame thing that happened to theranos, just in a lower-key fashion; they hadn't figured out how to do the thing they said they'd figured out how to do, and possibly nobody ever will in my book that makes them a fraud, though there are clearly a lot of ai company founders who disagree
- Trevor908 2y agoThey collapsed, because they couldn't deliver anything remotely close to what was promised. IMO they knew all along it was a fraud and just kept the story going as long as they could. I think they renamed themselves "sonic energy". Excellent thread on eevblog: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/the-ubeam-faq/1900/ https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/the-ubeam-faq/1900/ Now Perry is pumping some neuro-ai-sleep-aid nonsense.
