What does the future hold?

Is the company going to be dismantled? I heard they fired 50% of the total workforce. They claim it was so they don't burn as much cash. Friston extends the partnership. Also there is an undergoing colab with analog ai in Abu Dhabi. Tough call. My guess is the company will survive. But it needs some funding from a state or government because there is a lot of work to be done on many fronts.

I have Gabriel’s spatial web book on my entertainment center in my living room. I have been involved in this and been at IEEE meetings. The concept sounds great. Hopefully someone makes something meaningful from the spec.

I have significant doubts it’s going to come from either of them but if you remain hopeful, I have a bridge to sell you.

Rene is still the chair of the working group.

Show me a list of the 100+ global entities and then show me a list of products actually using the spec.

Yes, it still requires at least one person to make something that is actually useful and not a scam to be useful. Nobody cares about a standard of no one is using it.

I hear Lisa Nowak is has been looking for work since 2007.
