Humane's ambient computing vision is a dead-end
Briefly

Humane's co-founders positioned the AI Pin as the start of an 'ambient computing' era, where technology recedes, smartphones are replaced by virtual assistants accessible through voice or gesture.
Bigger companies like Google and Amazon have struggled with ambient computing due to industry dynamics and lack of cooperation, despite widespread deployment of smart speakers and assistants.
Rich Osterloh from Google highlighted that in ambient computing, technology should fade into the background, emphasizing the user as the center, but the goal of intelligent assistance remains unrealized.
The challenge of ambient computing lies in seamlessly integrating assistants with various ecosystems, requiring more than just better AI capability.
Despite the ubiquitous presence of ambient computing hardware, achieving intelligent assistance is hindered by the complex task of connecting ecosystems, not solely reliant on advanced AI.
