Humane's TED demo showcased their screenless AI wearable. A chest-worn device using a projector & voice aims to replace phones for calls, translation, & summaries. Intriguing concept, but leaves many practical questions unanswered.
#HumaneAI
thinking a lot about how the guy who convinced Steve Jobs not to put a back button on the iPhone because it'd be inconsistent and confusing is also the same guy who scammed millions of dollars from people with his Humane AI pin that never worked and that they're just going to straight up brick brick soon
talk about a hero to villain arc :neodog_googly_shocked: and YES, my fellow Android peeps, the back button is, in fact, inconsistent and terrible. :meowmeltthumbsup:

does anyone know where the closest landfill to #HumaneAI is
I kinda want to get my hands on a #HumaneAI pin now. There’s gotta be a way to root it.
That display was useless but looks fun. Maybe find a way to play "snake" on the back of my hand or something.
Egun on! Gogoratzen duzue #AIPin tramankulu arraro hura? Bueno, ba asmatzaileek lortu dute azkenean nahi zutena. Enpresa itxi, handiago bati saldu eta etxera doaz, poltsikoak bero-bero. Zerbitzariak amatatzean, 6 hilabete baino gutxiago duten eta 500 euro inguru balio zuten gailuek hurrengo egunotan utziko diote funtzionatzeari. Kakazte zikloa, baina turboa sartuta.

"So far, the company is sitting on a stockpile worth over a million dollars in returned products. But that’s not even the worst part. It seems carrier deals have truly doomed the returned units as the device simply can’t be refurbished and handed over to another customer, as is the case with phones and laptops."
So, they didn't make the product with ideas on how to avoid it becoming e-waste.

‘This Is Going to Be Painful’: How a Bold A.I. Device Flopped
Many current and former employees said Chaudhri and Bongiorno preferred positivity over criticism, leading them to disregard warnings about the Ai Pin’s poor battery life and power consumption. A senior software engineer was dismissed after raising questions about the product, while others left out of frustration

Humane’s New Pitch: You Should Love the AI Pin’s Terrible Camera https://petapixel.com/2024/06/13/humanes-new-pitch-wants-you-to-love-the-ai-pins-terrible-camera/ #Equipment #humaneai #Opinion #opinion #humane #aipin

"The two founders apparently "preferred positivity over criticism, leading them to disregard warnings about the AI Pin’s poor battery life and power consumption."
The level of head-assedness is baffling, but it helps recalling, that Humane is lead by two former Apple employees, so it's no wonder that they've got their heads up so far up their own asses, they think they can just start another cult around a product that's more about corporate soft-speak than substance.
"A senior software engineer was dismissed after raising questions about the product, they said, while others left out of frustration." After that software engineer was fired for questioning if the AI pin would be ready for launch, the report describes a staff meeting where the founders "said the employee had violated policy by talking negatively about Humane."
So basically, the founders threw a tamper tantrum because someone dared to ask if what was being built would actually be functional. Lovely.
"It's hard to make a good product if you can't honestly talk about the negatives and positives for fear of retaliation."
You just know they knew it was all bullshit and they just wanted to siphon all the venture capital money into their own pockets and fuck off without having earned any of it.
Classic Tech Bros move, having your gadget catch fire.
Because 'Safety is Wokeism' or something.....

I feel no shame in admitting that I experience great delight whenever a million-dollar corporation fails spectacularly; and when it comes to this, #HumaneAi is the gift that keeps on giving. The latest: They've warned customers to immediately stop using one of the two types of chargers they provide, or else, um, maybe the device will, er, explode and spray battery acid all over anyone standing nearby. https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/05/humane-urges-customers-to-stop-using-charging-case-citing-battery-fire-concerns/

Told you so. It was only a matter of time.

Are all of those AI pins and wearables be an App?
Yes.
They're just an update away from Apple, Google and Samsung to be useless.
They were made to be sold to some corpo, cashout and live in the Bahamas. Not for solving a problem.
