The Humane Ai Pin Will Become E-Waste Next Week
Briefly

The Humane AI Pin, once celebrated as a revolutionary device combining AI and wearables, has officially met its demise with HP's acquisition of key assets for $116 million. The deal includes over 300 patents and the Cosmos operating system. Following an unfavorable launch with severe functionality issues, sales of the AI Pin have ceased, and refunds will be issued for recent buyers. HP’s focus will be on leveraging the Cosmos AI rather than the problematic hardware, which will become non-functional after February 28, 2024.
