So I'm not the only who wonders about the hyperbole emanating from Friston et al! Some more morsels:

- The CEO is an "International Bestselling Author" [1].

- The company blog states that Friston has "successfully [decoded] the underlying mechanisms of intelligence as it functions in the brain and biological systems" [2].

But they got $10M investment from G42, an Emirati VC [3]. Note that G42 have also invested in Cerebras and OpenAI [4]. So their PR works.
