Seems a pretty serious company for me. Ex-Boston Dynamics, IHMC, Tesla, Apple SPG, Cruise, GoogleX employees...

Do you know any of those people, and do you know with 100% certainty what their day currently looks like and what they're up to?

I'm sceptic of these kinda things ever since I saw that one fake AI generated LinkedIn profile that said it was a Stripe alum. It even attracted a VC who wanted to invest lol.

Not saying it's the case here but make an organigram with some faces, names and slap some Apple, Tesla and Google logos next to their names and 9 people out of 10 will be sold. I know I would have, if it weren't for being more careful now thanks to that article a few days ago.

Mind linking that article? AI generated LinkedIn profile, never would have crossed my mind.

I'm not saying they aren't, but I've seen plenty of serious people try and fail at making a mass producible humanoid robot.

even Honda failed with Asimo.

big names don't guarantee success.
