Take a closer look at Elon Musk's Neuralink surgical robot – TechCrunch:

While the science was front-and-center in Elon Musk's presentation about Neuralink, his human brain computer inference company, the surgical robot the company debuted made a splash of its own. The rounded polycarbonate sci-fi design of the brain surgeon bot looks like something out of the Portal franchise, but it's actually the creation of Vancouver-based industrial design firm Woke Studio. To be clear, Musk's engineers and scientists have created the underlying technology, but Woke built the robot's look and user experience, as well as the behind-the-ear communication end piece that Neuralink has shown in prior presentations.

[...] "While the patient may not be awake to see the machine in action, it was still important to design a non-intimidating robot that can aesthetically live alongside the iconic machines in Musk's portfolio," the company explains in a press release. "It also needed to meet a long list of medical requirements in terms of sterility and maintenance, and provide safe and seamless utilization for its operators."

    I go to https://woke.co/ [woke.co] and see a blank page, empty of all content. Will this company will go broke soon?

    Works fine in w3m. Full of corporate bullshit.

    Unsurprising, the fact that they use a Columbian TLD told me everything I needed to know.
