Petty? He's accusing them of fraud, and if he's right then yeah we should all be disappointed in Eon's deceptive marketing.

Fully simulating a drosophila has been a high goal for a very long time and great claims require great proof, but Eon has been stingy with the details (and no this blog post does not reveal much beyond chaining together lots of impressive sounding words).

Imagine the skepticism on HN if someone declared they invented AGI. Similar level claim.
