Dang, I just checked and CBRS is in free-fall since the IPO.

Sucks, I think they're a cool company.

OTOH, I was the only person back then pushing hard during my time at KAUST (back in 2019) to buy one of their systems when they were nobody, eventually resulting in a partnership between the two.

Then I joined their online discourse, very few users, I was semi-active there but they didn't care much.

Then I came to Toronto and heard they were opening an office here, tried to get noticed several times but got mostly ignored. I asked about upcoming events several times, anything to get involved, "yeah man, maybe one day". Then they made an event during Toronto Tech Week and didn't even tell me ... idk.

I don't get schadenfreude as I still think they're a cool company.

My point is they put all the eggs in one basket (AI inference) and neglected everything else. They seem to be on shaky ground now ... sad.

my friend briefly worked there and then got hit by layoffs, as a result, I am enjoying the schadenfreude.
