Despite the reviews, (original iPhone software keyboard creator, Humane team member, and Micro.blog user) @kocienda remains firm in his convictions about the Humane Ai Pin:
I think there’s something there, but it needs more time and advancement in the foundational tech. I’m not ready to count them out.
The hubris and self importance coming across in Humane product videos and presentations really hasnt done itself any favours here.
I love the idea, but the pin is a few years before it’s time and feels rushed.
@gregmorris Totally agree. But I’ll say that one of their latest videos seemed to take that particular criticism to heart and was much more watchable and relatable. This one, I think. Of course, it was followed up by this, which is still a bit cringy.
@gregmorris I’m also more bullish about this tech infused into glasses or similar. I’m not sold on the clothing pin form factor. (For those who also have trouble keeping bullish/bearish straight…here you go.)
I think a watch or anything really that doesn’t have to overcome a completely new usage makes the most sense. Weirdly I think the pin, or a pendent might actually be a good option when tech improves and it could be hidden.
Glasses I am still not 100% convinced by. I don’t think many people want things on their face, but they make sense in sunglasses / googles or for people that already wear things.
