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.

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.

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