>As for Neuralink and The Boring Company…well, I am typing this, not using my brain-machine interface, and my friend took the Blue Line from O’Hare this morning, and not some underground supertrain.
I'm not sure what point you intended to get across with this take. I don't own any Lenovo products, is Lenovo defunct?
Edit: Yikes. My analogy isn't perfect, sorry folks.
Exactly. Lenovo has viable and desirable products that you could purchase if you were so inclined. That's not the case for Boring and Neuralink.
Boring makes a D-grade tourist attraction and offers no viable solution to the problem they claim to be solving.
Neuralink's biggest success has been in bringing attention to the field, but has made no actual progress of its own.
And that's not to say they won't bring viable products/solutions some day, but it's clear where Musk shines (e.g. bringing in money, hype, PR) and where he's atrocious (e.g. executing, planning, people). Shotwell is a fantastic example of a CEO using Musk where he shines, and keeping him away from where he's bad. What Tesla, Boring, and Neuralink all need are their own respective Shotwells.
