Thinking Machines Lab

Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission appears to be an impersonation or unrelated crypto project piggybacking on the brand of the legitimate 'Thinking Machines Lab' (a high-profile AI startup founded by Mira Murati, valued at ~$12B). The project name 'LunarClaw' does not exist in the legitimate company's portfolio. The claimed market cap ($17M) is inconsistent with the real company's valuation and likely refers to a memecoin or is fabricated. Claims that 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false for this specific entry. Due to significant red flags and lack of verifiable utility, the project receives a negative score.
