Humane's AI Pin is Slightly Delayed (theverge.com) 8

Humane announced that its AI Pin would start shipping in March, but there's been a small delay. From a report: Early adopters are now being told orders will arrive in mid-April at the earliest, according to a video update from Humane staffer Sam Sheffer and emails we saw in Humane's official Discord channel. On the plus side, the company says it'll now throw in three months of its pricy $24-a-month subscription for free with the $699 pin -- and will do so for any other customers who buy one before March 31st, too.

    Our rug-pull does not have enough volume yet, please throw more money at us we can steal.

    Well, I may be wrong. But I think there is a pretty good change this product will not materialize.

    I guess no one learned from Google Glass, no one wants to be around someone that is wearing a camera at all times. I don't want to be on your video, especially in otherwise private spaces. Keep your camera to yourself. And you look like you are talking to yourself too, weirdo.

      Not just that. People generally want the interaction with their devices to be private. The people around them really want that interaction to be private. A few niche cases aside, voice control in public spaces isn't going to catch on.

        Although, unfortunately, there are plenty of people around who like to shout into their phones on speaker with others around.

        Yes!

  • What was in the background of this guy's video update? Were there palm trees and white sand beaches?

  • The correct term is not "delayed", but "retarded", and we can also dispose of the "slightly".
  • This is a hyped-up money grab. There's nothing that stripped-down smartphone does that a normal app on a real smartphone wouldn't do 100x better
