TL;DR: Humane, a tech startup led by former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri, has launched the $700 Ai Pin, a standalone AI device with a “Laser Ink Display” that projects information onto the user’s hand. The device, resembling an Apple Watch, features a detachable battery for a “perpetual power system,” a 3D depth sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, Ai Mic for voice interactions, and a 13-megapixel camera. Despite technological achievements, user reactions on MacRumors are mixed, expressing concerns about practicality and functionality. Orders start in the U.S. on November 16, with a $24 monthly subscription for Humane’s network. (via ChatGPT)
They lost me at the $24 / month subscription
Yeah I’m not paying $700 and then another almost $300 per year for something unproven. It sounds neat but not that neat.
In the future everything will be by subscription, and only then will things start being advertised the ability to own it out right and in full.
Considering what comes with the $24/m it’s actually lot that egregious. A unique phone number with talk, text, and data as well as a Tidal subscription.
That said, this is a ridiculous product lmao
I feel like they could have just connected it to a mobile phone instead.
Definitely. Seems like it is trying to be a replacement for your phone though
