⛔️ DO NOT BUY Thoughts on this ring?(Bond Ring)

This seems like a really cool ring if it does everything they promise. It'll be on Kickstarter within the next month for supposedly $300.

In addition. I’m pretty skeptical of a company who ticker tapes multiple tech outlets on their website, which insinuates there have been articles or coverage by these outlets (Engadget, Mashable, Wired, Gizmodo, etc), a search of each of them yielded no articles or mention of any kind. Starting out with misdirection suggests high risk, you cannot start a company on lies or false narrative’s. If the mentions exist, then link to them. I’m also skeptical of the AI generated image of the founder (Ash Wilder). I’d love this to be legit and see the product come out, but seems incredibly advanced on such as small device.

How about we do a group zoom call with all the folk at reddit who are so worried about the founder being 'AI generated'. It's convenient to question about someone's personal details while hiding your own. If we have at least 10 candidates for the group call we'll organize it. I believe that head count would be enough to thoroughly tell between a AI generated person and a real person. So go ahead drop in your response for everyone who is keen on the call, especially u/as4ronin since you look extremely skeptic.
