exactly!! most of the large accounts hyping this stuff up are invested in it or dont seem to have a clear idea of what they invested in and/or part of the inner clique. also there doesn't seem to any serious hardware investors in that group - more folks who have bought into e/acc and all the scifi mythos around it.

for all the hype around building alien tech, this is a bit underwhelming. the stuff from this startup feels more alien than what extropic is talking about - https://www.emergentia.tech/technology
