- Lambasted by reviewers, the Humane Ai Pin is set to become useless on 28th February.
- This as the company will shut down its online services disabling calling, messaging, AI queries and responses, as well as cloud access.
- The company’s assets and some staff are moving to HP which has purchased the company for $116 million.
With HP it will become even bigger pile of garbage
$116 ? How ?
Not for their management and product teams :)
Everyone wants in on AI. Humane probably has a decent, well-versed AI engineering staff, some of its own training models, and maybe even its own functional ready-to-go cloud resources.
116 Mil for a turn-key AI development staff with models and servers doesn’t seem unreasonable if you have HP money.
$116 seems like a lot

Companies should be forced to pay for disposal in those cases.

Companies should be forced to refund every single customer in these cases

116m seems like enough for the 400 pins they actually sold
