Humane’s Ai Pin is a $700 Smartphone Alternative You Wear All Day
If you’re willing to clip the Ai Pin to your chest, you can talk, gesture, and tap to take photos or summon a powerful virtual assistant.
This is the kind of idea only rich people from silicon valley could ever come to with.
I could see this offering an alternative to handicapable folks, but its such a privacy nightmare that its DoA.
Its a shame, if it used a FOSS AI that was offline this could have potential and practical applications.
But a 700 dollar data harvester is useless for consumers.

I have a $1000 one in my pocket every day. It does more useful stuff for me though.
I saw this mentioned somewhere a few weeks back and I think it's pretty dumb. It's the price of a mid-high smartphone with like a quarter of the features. So instead of looking at a nice screen... you're looking at a laser on your hand. Want to watch something while using your hands? Too bad!
Also I love how they say it's "affordable" then mention that it's about $700 🤦♂️
It's like most watch people. I'm certainly interested in watches but when I hear Teddy Baldassare call $1200 affordable, I just cringe so hard.
A million buzzwords and nothing new. It's a $700 privacy nightmare you strap to your chest that sends whatever you say to ChatGPT's API, something you can do on your phone for free. I'm surprised it got any funding at all.
I'm not surprised at the funding. During the Dot Com bubble in 2000 you just had to say "Web" and someone threw a brick of Benjamins at you. We're seeing a similar thing around AI/GPT LLM tech right now.
And who thought the idea of a GlassHole was bad? You have a big spy-eye on your shirt. Just wait till some company mandates all employees must wear this.
If you can gesture and it does something, the camera is always on watching for the gesture.
European Friend, What would GPDR say about this? If you walked into some store and all the store employees wore this, could you ask and expect that any footage showing you visited the store would be deleted?
Might also be kinda creepy if you went into a store where you had never been before and the nearest sales associate walked up and said "Welcome In WasPentalive".
The level of survailence of a callcenter brought to retail
One of the worst things about callcenters was the constant survailence they knew everything you were doing at all times. Retail would absolutely abuse this in the same way.
Well stores are already watched by security camera so if you walk in it you are already seen from all angles
In my opinion sometimes the kind of camera makes a difference.
Like is it the security camera, or the advertisement ridden touchscreen map that conveniently watches the entire entrance with it's front camera?Yes, they may use the security camera for that purpose too, and that is also a problem, but these others do seem to be worse.
I thought this was just a Big Mouth joke why is this a real thing
