The Humane AI Pin solves nothing and makes me feel stupid

The Humane AI Pin is slow, finicky and barely even smart. Though the concept is intriguing and the laser projector technically works, most of the execution falls flat. Plus, using it made me look pretty dumb. As it stands, the Humane AI Pin doesn’t do enough to justify its $700 and $24-a-month price.

Everything about Humane felt sleepy from the get-go. Took no brainpower to conclude way in advance that this wouldn't succeed. Just sit this next to the Rabbit R1. The R1 screams fun, play and innocence through good design (and it's 199). While the AI Pin just snores lazy pompous and i mean, the humane team seemed, to me, to be dominated by completely oblivious, borderline narcissist personalities. Not a great combo.

What always gets me with these kinds of crappy product launches is I can't imagine how during all the years of research and development and millions upon millions of dollars invested into the product, not one person (in a position of power) looked at this and said, "yeah, no, this is not good enough, let's try something else." They just keep charging ahead and end up with this piece of crap.

That is the current problem with bloated management who often have little experience, understanding or knowledge about what they oversee. Also they don't want to stand out of the group by criticising the product because they want to protect their positions.

Ridiculous comment. Apple is the exact opposite of this. Humane is a company which created a super high-tech product that's ahead of the market but the tech is not really there yet, so it's useless. Apple does the opposite - they're usually the LAST tech company to adopt an already existing tech and put it into their products in a useful way.

“It’s working to counteract something that was a problem caused by its existence in the first place” This is exactly what rewinding a VHS tape was! It was a super annoying problem created by the existence and limitation of the technology. The only difference is VHS gave us home movies that we otherwise couldn’t have. The AI Pin doesn’t really offer anything that a phone paired with a watch can’t already do. The camera is the only piece of tech a smartwatch usually doesn’t have.

They should bring down the price, sell it as an AR gaming system, then use the revenue to make updates to the processing and design to the point that they can allow an open source market to exist and let users create their own useful apps. I for example see this being really useful in a camping/outdoor wildlife hiking scenario. It could tell you what certain plants are, discern bird or other animals sounds, give directions, track movement. Stuff like that.

bro, I have been saying all along that this was a scam since the weird press release closed demo. It seems like they built up a lot of hype on purpose so that people talk about it, and generate money in ads clicks. This is nothing but a tech demo and it's really frustrating to see how often companies release unfinished products and games, only to promise updates later. It seems like we just enjoy the hype and then enjoy the fallout for the clicks? We all know that something is wrong when we can't see something working before we buy it. If it was really good, it would sell itself without all the hype. Maybe I'm just crazy.
