General Magic (2018)
6/10
Ahead of time the stupid excuse
27 December 2022
So if I start a company just now, sell the grand idea of, for example, quantum computing in your smartwatch, sell the idea to investors, get a lot of money, invest a lot of money to hire top talent, try to build it, makes some steps towards the goal, go bankrupt because, you know, it's not the right time or the market is not ready and I spent all my money, and after 20 years someone actually builds the quantum smartwatch (when it's actually feasible), then I will be a visionary and someone will come and make a documentary about the failed origin of everything my entreprise was, making it look awesome instead of labeling it as what it was closer to, a scam?

When we actually should be putting General Magic and my quantum smartwatch next to what it was closer to: wework, theranos or the fyre festival? And Mr Marc Porat and me, the visionary, closer to Jules Verne?

Portraying General Magic like this is not a fair assesment of what happened and the consequences.
