Comment on Hacking the Humane AI Pin

Seeing that it's a super flawed idea, surprising that Humane put in so much effort in this product. I thought it was just a quick cash grab attempt.

Reminds me of juicero, apperently it's engineering was also pretty solid.

The juicero wasn't well-engineered, it was overbuilt, and comically so. Apparently BOM cost did not feature in the product requirements.

There's a saying - anyone can design a building that stands, but only an engineer can design a building that just barely stands.

Haven't heard that one but it makes a lot of sense lol

Is it that flawed? Maybe a bit early and not enough cash behind them as say a company like Meta or Apple (planning to pivot the VR headset into AR glasses).

While I agree it was ultimately flawed, I think it's likely that the core team at Humane genuinely thought this was the future of computing, and clearly put in a lot of effort.

... And maybe something like this is, it was probably just too early.
