I wonder what Lemmings are thinking of this device. I admire the innovation but just don't see how this would be used in practice outside of memes.

Saying “Integrates with OpenAI” in 2023 is exactly equivalent to saying “uses Web 2.0” from 20 years ago. Buzzword trash that says absolutely about how the product uses said technology.

Blockchain Web 2.0 AI technology, in 4k HD!

What more could you possibly want?

This is going to fail so hard it's not even funny

I really don't understand how things like this get made.

Like I understand that there are tonnes of rich people with zero brainpower who fund this sorta crap, but how do the people creating it ever think anything other than 'this concept is shit and nobody will ever want this'???

It's probably a cash grab anyway

Did they just make a cell phone that I can wear on my chest, tap whenever I want to use it, and give commands to the computer by voice? Does it also come in the shape of a gold delta?

That was my first thought when I read this:

The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way

Now if this isn't a hot contender for wildest conglomeration of techy buzzwords of the year

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Circet Bracelet 2?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

This looks even scarier than that TV/camera device by Facebook.

It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and uses a camera, depth, and motion sensors to track and record its surroundings. It has a built-in speaker, which Humane calls a “personic speaker,” and can connect to Bluetooth headphones.

Hell no. If a friend starts wearing a subscription-based body cam connected to "AI", I'm going to cut them out of my life.

It also sounds so stupid as a concept. Why would I use this instead of a phone camera? The laser display sounds like a much worse equivalent to a tiny smartwatch screen. The only use case might be when doing sports/activities, but we'd need a much more robust device for that (and much faster response times for it to be useful)

DEATH TO ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE!

Digital slavery. Nice. Open Source offline AI exists. OpenAI is an intentional manipulative misnomer. Nothing about them is Open. AI can infer a ton of data about anyone with just a few sentences. Data is your entire future. Giving away a part of yourself or your company for exploitation, long term, is asinine stupidity.

Silicon Valley is gonna wonder why their aggressive AI push is going to fail despite it being an extremely useful technology.
