The Humane Ai Pin Will Become E-Waste Next Week
-
When they are accurately called "text generators" and not "AI"
But at this point so many people have been misled by it that it may not be possible to educate those that have already been misled just stop others from being misled.
-
Hold on this might not be as bad as it sounds. How many sold? Like 5?
-
Roughly 230 million more than I made in the same timeframe
-
Did they really sold any? I'd think they all went to tech reviewers and influencers
-
You made a dollar this last year?
-
Rounded to the closest million that actually checks out…
-
A dollar, a hundred thousand dollars, these are just rounding errors compared to $250 million.
-
I think anyone paying for this must have been mentally challenged.
-
I love that this meme can be fully depicted using emojis. I demand emoji versions of other common memes.
-
They probably lost a ton of money developing it. I bet nobody got overly rich with this endeavor.

I guess the buyer qualifies for a refund, I wonder if they would even want the device back

I'm curious what's the financial outcome here for the customers? I don't remember what Humane's price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example... Eh I'll just look it up.
Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That's just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.

It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

I sometimes think of "who bought these?" I mean, I'm a little bit of a data hoarder. I never want to lose those Google chats and emails I'll never look back on. I downloaded my Twitter data (that I'll never reference) before deleting my account. But what nerd mother fucker like me, has the money to pay hundreds of dollars on this, and a subscription fee, for a service to take data I'll never own?
If I had that kind of money to waste, I'd just use that extra monthly subscription money to buy media to fill up servers (that I bought with the cost of the Pin,) on my home network.
And I don't even have a home network or a house, but bet your ass I'd have those and a million other things before this became a remotely attractive option.
This is like Quibi. You see it and you can easily understand it on one, far-off, level... But here in reality I'm just left confused. "What were they thinking?"
