Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales
They can't sell the $699 AI party trick that requires a $24 subscription so they slashed the price to $499. Unfortunately it's still $500 too expensive for what's worth.
Maybe at $10 someone could buy it as a Halloween costume prop and even pay a whole month of subscription just to show off the novelty

Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.
Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.
Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.
Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.
Bonus points if it screams a really loud "PERVERT" alarm if you're doing something creepy.
If only that was true for smartphones too....
Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.
Considering modern-day "AI" track records at this, the only thing I'd trust a device like that to do is massively increase poisoning deaths.
"But my phone said it would be OK" is a lousy epitaph!
They died doing what they loved. Placing their very life into the hands of techbro con artists.
