Humane AI Pin
🔴Shutdown / DeadHumane launched the AI Pin in November 2023 with $230M+ in funding and pitches from ex-Apple founders. Reviewers panned battery life, latency, and a laser projector that wilted in sunlight. Sales never materialized, returns outpaced new orders, and in February 2025 HP acquired Humane's IP and team for roughly $116M while bricking existing Pins by month's end. The hardware is now a paperweight; the cloud services that powered it were shut off.
