    I remember when the CEO did a ted talk about the pun and everyone was so impressed because he came from apple. It just goes to show how much of tech is made up of sales people and consultants while good talent is truly hard to find.

      Worse is better. If this whole thing crashes hard enough to make normies sceptical, then it’s worth the pain.

      Serious instruments should be treated as such.

    For their trouble, Humane says it’s offering two free months of their Humane subscription, which is the $24-a-month data plan to use the device.

    Wait, so this piece of crap costs $700, and you have to pay more than the cost of a Netflix subscription (assuming that hasn’t gone up again while I write this) just to ask ChatGPT questions without using your prefectly good phone?

        Jesus Christ. And people actually bought this thing?

        I know the Venn diagram of “People who buy into AI tech hype” and “People who bought into crypto” is basically a circle, but even so, that is some unbelievable levels of begging to be scammed. I’m starting to think this whole scene is just people with a very specific humiliation kink.

    I never got what made these pins humane are they trained on data that they got permission for? Or did they use an ai model that does not use much energy thus not destroying the environment?

    Can the poor owner of this thing charge it in some other way? Not that he/she would need or want to…
