The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones

So the AI Pin comes with its own phone number? Couldn't it be paired to my current eSIM? I don't need a second phone number... In any case, 700USD plus 24USD monthly subscription is a bit too much IMO.

A lot of the interactions seem to take longer vs me just taking my phone out and quickly doing what I need to do. Its compelling given this is a v1 of the product so it will only get better from here but not completely sold on it just yet.

Very Star Trek-esque. It seems a bit clunky but a good first version. I could imagine this being pretty powerful in 5-10 years when everything is integrated and the AI can do almost anything you ask it. Until it can 100% replace the phone (which seems to be their aim) it seems like an extra device that’s a bit unnecessary.

Can I read TFA on it or watch cat videos? Something tells me it’s not replacing phones anytime soon.

Says there is no wake word, so it's not always listening, but responds to your voice... aka it's always listening then no? And rather only processing info when it thinks it hears a wake word it would always be processing no? Having to hold up my hand to get a limited screen, all seems to be solving a problem that is already solved with a phone, and if one wants a smaller device use an Apple Watch with on device Siri and cellular. This seems far nitcher than even Google products that always appeared dead on arrival.

I can't tell whether the abysmal video is what's making me hate it or the device itself.
