Re: The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones
#42Launch Video: https://vimeo.com/882968794 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.
They ask it where the next eclipse is, and where best to watch it. They got the date right, but the suggested locations of Timor and Australia are not in the eclipse path. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-april-8
That also doesn't look like enough almonds for 15 grams worth of protein. 10 almonds have approx 3g of protein, requiring 50 almonds for 15 grams of protein, I don't think there's that many in the video.
Makes you wonder about the veracity of the AI (or the accuracy of the demo). Looks like a cool product either way.

#43Their demo of AI Q&A in the announcement video (@3:36) is totally wrong. The Pin says the April 2024 total eclipse will be best viewed from Australia and East-Timor... Except the eclipse passes over the US and will be nowhere near Australia. The answer seems to be about a partial eclipse in April 2023. How was that not fact checked???
| How was that not fact checked??? Cause they aren't Apple, just the cheap knock-offs
Apple doesn't make anything close to this hardware?

#44I’m a Humane employee who has worked on nearly all the Ai features in the product. We’re very happy to get this out into the world and start getting feedback!
Two questions, with no obligation to answer them: - What's the argument for using this instead of a full-fat computer with ambient capabilities? (think iPhone/Siri or Android/Assistant) - How does Humane expect the $699 price point to develop in the future? Is the intention to bring prices down, or capabilities up?
The price point is $700 plus a $24 monthly subscription.

#45If people hated the Google Glasses recording them, won't they hate this too with the camera always facing forward?
It's got a hardware light that tells you its active, what more do you want? You have your phone out all the time and it's got a camera facing people too

#46When I first heard about the company I knew immediately it would be a Star Trek badge type device. > Google learned a similar lesson in 2018 after it launched Google Clips, a body-worn camera that used algorithms to automatically snap photos. Female users tended to end up with an abundance of cloud shots when they intended to record what was in front of them, because the device was not designed to account for bodies…
They have a video demonstrating the laser display (laser part is about 3 minutes in): https://vimeo.com/882968794

#47It's funny that the company was founded 6+ years ago and this product has been in development at least since that time, but all of a sudden it's all about AI? We really going to pretend all these features weren't shoveled in in the last 3 months by buying a ChatGPT API token?
Recognizing the food you are holding and coming up with a calorie count was the only part of the demo I found genuinely cool, but I also know that AI tech isn't far enough along to get anywhere close to accurate results right now in the real world.
Something like AI Pin might be ubiquitous like the smartphone at some point in the future, but right now isn't the time for it, and Humane may or may not be the company to eventually crack the code.

#48Missed a huge opportunity to market:
Wave over wake
Then do some type of magic proximity sensor to begin capture, then detect if hand is facing in or out, to then wake. The tap and hold is too much, and the marketing interplay of magic wand wave as the open command could have made powerful ads.
That said, this is still the best glimpse of the future. Incredible job by the team

Oof, next level DRM/anti repair:
01:49 > The AI pin privacy chip also protects it from being exploited, which means if it's ever physically tampered with, it will require service from humane to restore operation.

#50Having the word "Ai" in the name of a product makes it feel cheap and not premium. People don't care about Ai but more so what it can do for them.
