‘The idea of #AI wearables is not new. Enough time may have passed for Silicon Valley to forget the debacle of Google #Glass, the AI-powered headset that the search company launched in 2013 but largely abandoned just two years later. But the reaction to #Humane will only fuel suspicion that the latest attempts to reboot Glass are just another manifestation of an AI funding bubble.’ https://www.ft.com/content/ccec597d-11bb-4105-858f-78580d4331a1
So if I understand these wearable AIs approach I am supposed to carry a second super cheap phone that is specifically for AI around and that will help me not take out my primary smart phone?
Cool cool got it. One question.
Can I get a third phone with special software for #shitposting to make phone of the second phone so I don’t have to take out the first phone to dunk on them?
Imagine if someone made a clip for an Apple Watch so you could wear it. Maybe the clip has a camera that connects via Bluetooth boom you best Humane, Rabbit R1, etc immediately and have an existing OS and app ecosystem and phone integration. Seems a bit easier than what everyone is currently doing.
In the decades to come, the idea that animals have consciousness will become normal. The old, racist, command-and-control, hierarchical ideas will be confined to the bin of history 🗑️
It's interesting to see people so upset with Marques Brownlee #mkbhd. Maybe his #FIsker and #Humane video titles contain some hyperbole, but to me those videos point out a real problem with consumerism.
So many people purchase tech based on potential or promised features. Tesla is to blame for a lot of that — maybe Apple to a lesser extent.
If you test drive an #EV, base your purchasing decision on the idea that that car would stay exactly the same until you’re ready to purchase the next one.
@schafer yeah — that's a wild price point for a gimmicky v1 (I'd say the same about the Apple Vision Pro but I might be pilloried). I think we're out of ideas and are performing the possibility of new product categories and growth for the benefit of investors.
Good Upgrade from @jsnell and Myke Hurley on the DOJ #Apple complaint and the #Humane AI Pin not integrating with iPhones. Three reactions:
There are shades of AT&T freezing out Carterfone’s wireless handset.
OTOH, regulating smartphone interop with an external device is radically more complex than foreign attachments on the PSTN.
Integration and camera aside, the pin form factor is objectively worse than the watch in almost every way. Smart glasses pose a much more interesting case.
@blakereid@jsnell In my copious free time, I would really like to write a sophisticated analysis of the SMB/CIFS compatibility work.
As of last time I looked, the legal literature claims it has been a failure, but the SAMBA community views it is as a win - and their code was the basis of the first decade of OSX's windows network interoperability, and is still the core of the entire NAS market. Two big competition-law wins!
"The pin shipped with fraction of the features promised...features that did ship fail most of the time.
It's too heavy, and has atrocious battery life, with users expected to swap batteries every few hours as the device runs uncomfortably hot. Its projector is useless in daylight, and its input system is awkward and slow."
There has been a lot of anticipation for the Humane AI Pin, ever since it raised $100 million in funding early last year.
Now people have had the chance to try the AI wearable in real life, and it seems like it is some way from being the revolutionary device they hoped for. Tom’s Guide has rounded up the reviews.
