The Humane AI pin is... bad. Almost no one should buy it. Yet.MKBHD Merch: http://shop.MKBHD.comTech I'm using right now: https://www.amazon.com/shop/MKBHDIn...
Oooff … I don’t think it’s like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.
Not that a wearable assistant doesn’t make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they’re good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by … checks notes … relying entirely on other companys’ new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other “smart” devices we have just don’t exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars … really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.
Fair! The humane AI pin thingy announced sometime last year.
TLDW: AI cloud is too slow and shitty, the projector UI is too shitty, the battery too shit, and it doesn’t to anything better than just using your smartphone. Don’t buy.
Generally I find the broader picture interesting … like how are they getting funding and what were they doing before chatGPT?
