Something about this new iteration of phrenology seems more insidious. It allows researchers to avoid having to make actual claims about relationships between structure and outcome. Instead the buck is passed to the models. The scientists are free to just report their model accuracy and leave the conclusion of the validity of the connection to the reader. This is very abuseable too as bad methods can easily create convincing results that support a desired narrative. Oh well just another thing to worry about in the future.

If I were to design a satire then it would be quite close to that. Company seems dead, but looks like it was around for a few years. Ridiculous such garbage was around in the first place and raised any amount of funds. I've seen plenty of garbage companies with garbage premises over the years, but this takes the cake.
