Scary how the people in the video believe that she already solved wireless power, that it's a success.  :scared:

Wow. Not even an Owen Wilson wow, but a proper wow.  Of course there's quite a bit we "don't know" but to say we "don't understand our own biology" is an insult the hard work of countless scientists and researchers.  Like somehow the reason we don't have cures for absolutely everything is just because.. well, darn it, we're just not trying hard enough!  Needs more blue-sky thinking, we can solve these big problems in a few months. Oh and funding, because throwing money at problems works every time  :horse:

Or that it was somehow some genius idea that no one had ever thought of before  :-DD

I remember this, we were just starting the Series A fundraising and I was taken aback somewhat by those statements because of the massive amount of work still to do, and how could we ask for money for R&D when we're saying that we're pretty much done? In the end I dismissed as something said under pressure by someone with minimal media training. After Series A, I more and more felt that yes this was indeed the view from the top, and that it was only us dumb obstinate engineers that were in the way of achieving this (and me in particular). I also wondered what was being said to investors when the lead engineers were not in the room. Point here for engineers doing fundraising - this is a feature, not a bug.

As for the youtube video, I found the recommendations for other videos I got quite amusing. I don't know if they say more about me, or about the subject of the video, image attached.

It's those linear thinking biologists, they just can't see round corners. A few minutes Googling would show solutions...
