Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales (www.theverge.com)

They can't sell the $699 AI party trick that requires a $24 subscription so they slashed the price to $499. Unfortunately it's still $500 too expensive for what's worth.

Maybe at $10 someone could buy it as a Halloween costume prop and even pay a whole month of subscription just to show off the novelty

If it was free and I just had to pay the subscription I'd think "Can't my phone already do all this?"

You phone doesn't have the low-res laser projector gimmick that is invisible in daylight, runs extremely hot and drains the battery in one hour

truth be told, the only reason I would be even remotely interested in the device is the stupid laser projector. Seems like that might be fun to play with.

Yes! I remember experiments with similar projectors and interfaces like this device going back at least as far as the early 2010s. Would be fun to mess with.
