Jason Calacanis pays you $25,000 if you could find him an genuine Theranos gadget
On Tuesday, at CES, All-In podcast host and investor Jason Calacanis, together with McKinsey’s Bob Sternfels and Common Catalyst’s Hemant Taneja, mentioned the impression of AI on the workforce. Because the three talked, I zoned out a little bit, if I’m being sincere (it’s after hours right here on the East Coast).
Then Calacanis pulled out a field of outdated devices for show-and-tell. He grabbed my consideration again when he confirmed off his miniature duplicate of a Theranos gadget — it regarded just like the miniLab, a product that disgraced founder Elizabeth Holmes unveiled in 2016 as a last-ditch effort to persuade the world that her expertise labored (it didn’t).
“If anyone can get me this, I’ll pay $10,000 or perhaps $25,000,” Calacanis stated, holding up his duplicate.
Theranos by no means really offered its medical units to on a regular basis customers, so Calacanis could also be out of luck — however Holmes did demo the expertise at a convention as soon as, so there’s gotta be a miniLab someplace? I can’t match Calacanis’ provide, however hey, I’ll throw in an additional $20 invoice to sweeten the deal. Joyful searching!
