After the shutdown, offline features like “battery level” will still work,

It would have been really funny to see that the Pin needs a Datacenter in order to even check its battery status

Who could have ever predicted that this would happen? (The whole world raises their hands.)

I’m amazed anyone actually wanted to buy their assets.

And they are bricking the pins, too. What a stupid world we live in.

WTF is an "AI Pin"?

Its a lttle Pin with about no battery life, which whole reason to exist is so you can pay 50$ a month for a non swappable data plan so it can connect to someone elses computer to generate Answers for questions that you shout into the air in public so it can answer it with an LLM thats hallucinating all the time, also loudly while in public. Also, it has a camera.

A pocket-square size device that you attach to your upper body clothing and are able to talk to like ChatGPT while it sees what you are seeing. The goal was to integrate with your other apps, but that never took off afaik.
