Gizmodo: Apple’s AI Pendant Sounds Like a Watered-Down Humane Ai Pin. “If you were tempted to make the comparison between Apple’s rumored AI pin and Humane’s notorious Ai Pin, let me stop you right there. There’s (reportedly) a big difference, and that difference is that Humane’s defunct AI gadget actually tried to be something other than an accessory to your phone.”

Lilbits: Hacking the Humane Ai Pin, Liberux NEXX Linux phone, and swearing at your Windows PC

The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be a wearable device that allowed you to interact with an AI assistant throughout the day without using your phone or computer. But when it hit the streets last year it was widely panned as an overpriced, underpowered device that largely failed to deliver on its promise.

So it wasn’t a huge surprise that when HP acquired the company this year, it shut down […]

"There is very little to say about the Humane AI pin right now other than they are very lucky that the vast majority of tech journalists in the United States are too busy writing about the Elon Musk-led ransacking of the federal government to dunk on this company in the way it truly deserves (we are also doing this but need a break for five minutes).

The company and the tech was wildly hyped, wasted gazillions of dollars (it raised $240 million in funding), made something terrible, existed for less than a year, and are now hazardous e-waste that is a huge pain in the ass to safely dispose of. The saving grace of all of this is that Humane sold so few devices (roughly 10,000) that the number of consumers who are affected is relatively low as these things go and therefore, there are fewer of them that need to be recycled."

Der #HumaneAiPin nach nach rund einem Jahr am Ende. Zeigt mir genau das, was ich am aktuellen KI Hype kritisiere: KI einbauen einfach weil es da ist, ist NICHT wertsteigernd für Kund*innen. LLMs können manche Dinge recht gut, manches aber gar nicht und niemals garantiert fehlerfrei und genau DAS wird ständig eingebaut 🤷‍♂️
