I take issue with the word "scam", but other than, a very well-done rebuttal. It's not just v1 issue, Humane is a product of the most brainless assumptions you can make:
a) That a palm-size laser projector could work as a display.
b) That awkward hand gestures are a great way to navigate UI
c) That voice could work as a primary input.
d) That people would be willing to pay $700 and a monthly subscription for a device that barely works.
It's at par or even worse than Juicero. The team and its supporters should stop hiding behind "it's v1", and "we were trying to invent a new paradigm." The device has to be promising now, not in some imaginary future. And trying to invent shouldn't mean you're going to forgo questioning the basic foundational ideas.

- _the_inflator 3y agoThanks for the mention of Juicero. That was awesome in its own kind.
- Retr0id 3y agoI feel bad for the hardware engineers that worked on both. It seems like they did a great job under the design constraints they were given, too bad the product as a whole sucked.
- JohnFen 3y agoIt was exceptionally well-engineered. The people who worked on it should be proud of the machine they designed. The problem with it as a product was that it was worthless. Yes, it did what was claimed, but the machine and all that great engineering was completely unnecessary to get the insanely overpriced juice out of the bags.
