Useful Sensors (pivoting to Moonshine AI) is a legitimate VC-backed startup ($5M Seed) founded by Pete Warden (creator of TensorFlow Lite). While the submission is low-quality and hyperbolic ('everyone', 'most people'), the underlying project has high technical merit, focusing on private, edge-based AI for voice and gesture recognition. The claim 'most people have used my product' likely refers to the founder's previous work on TensorFlow Lite, not the current startup's traction. Verifiable traction includes availability on SparkFun and significant investor backing (Amplify, Homebrew).
