“Truly a middle finger”: Humane bricking $700 AI Pins with limited refunds

Scharon Harding writing for Ars Technica:

After launching its AI Pin in April 2024 and reportedly seeking a buyout by May 2024, Humane is shutting down. Most of the people who bought an AI Pin will not get refunds for the devices, which debuted at $700, dropped to $500, and will be bricked on February 28 at noon PT.

Shocked!

I think this summed it up pretty well:

Similarly, another Reddit user said the lack of refunds and server access were “a blow” to early adopters, saying, “Humane won by selling. HP won a new tech. All consumers got fucked…”

Yep.
