I have very low expectations for this thing, and the lowercase “i” is certainly… a choice.
I’m thinking of it along the lines of Google Glass. Really interesting, and maybe even possible some day, but this type of thing requires iterations of growth I feel. Sign me up for Star Trek communicators (or my preference for B5 Comm-links), but I’m hesitant to get too excited just yet.
To me, this company reads as pure vaporware. Everything they put out seems overly ambitious and not technically realized
Ughh more disposable shit that capitalists are trying to peddle on us for a quick profit
Why do news sites always eat this shit up? The cycle is the same:
- Announce a half baked idea but give it a fancy sounding name
- Demo something that seems vaguely cool and hype it up enormously, especially in how it is useful for daily life or can replace a daily tool you use 2.5 collect a ton of money from venture capital daddies
- Produce a whole bunch of it as cheaply as possible
- Hype it up as much as possible so you get a customer base before it comes out
- Release it, make $$$
- Close up shop within two years because people will realize it’s just a scam, isn’t revolutionary, and won’t do anything useful for them.
- Most of the sold devices end up in the ocean within 2 years
Intriguing vision, but rife with Magic Leap vibes at this point.
Seems….ambitious. I don’t want to write it off yet but consider me skeptical
There can’t come anything good out of humane labs. Last time I’ve been there I stole a couple cans of knockout gas.
It’s gonna flop. It’ll be less convenient than a conventional smartphone. Videos? Voice calls? Nope. It can translate your words? So can Google. Given their small-ish company all their AI will also be worse than their competition and it’ll be nothing but a party trick.
