The Humane AI Pin, after a year of limited functionality, is being shut down, with its technology sold to HP for $116 million. This sale comes after raising $230 million since 2018. Founders Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Chaudhri transition from creating celebrated Apple products to AI for HP. Pin owners face a $699 device with no refund or software support, marking Humane's rapid descent as a significant tech failure akin to Quibi and the Fire Phone.
"The company never seemed to put a foot right, laboring in secret for years, building relentless hype before confusing the public with a overhyped TED talk."
"Humane's founders, once celebrated for their Apple products, now find themselves working on AI for HP's printers after the company's notable gadget failure."
