The Humane Ai Pin is dead, HP is buying the carcass - Hypertext

The Humane Ai Pin will become ewaste on 28th February.

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.

But what happens to the pins Humane sold? Well, they are about to become ewaste.

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

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