It’s not as thin as the currently-trendy Edge, Slim, Air, etc. phones out there, but it’s more…

The Thinking Machines Lab Saga and a Changing AI Market When I last wrote about Thinking Machines Lab, I compared it to Pied Piper from HBO’s Silicon Valley: a startup backed by extraordinary funding and talent but no public product at the time.

Since then, Thinking Machines Lab has gone through some changes. Recent reporting by The New York…
