>If Humane really had better technology, why didn’t they release it as a software application rather than developing this terrible device? Because on smart phones you can't do always on recording or control the lock screen. The real game changer AI devices will bring is when they always on record which you can't do without controlling the hardware. Would have thought this was completely obvious.

Though this is an artificial constraint imposed by the platform holders (i.e. Apple and Google). Once they figured out how their new AI assistant needs to look like their own rules for 3rd party apps won’t matter anymore.

  It’s also a constraint imposed by a number of states with two-party consent recording laws.

    This doesn't make any sense. If that were the case, why don't video recorders have these limitations?

Since always on recording is also seemingly what kept meta and snapchat glasses from succeeding (and god thanks), that's a huge bet. Tis feature is the only thing that don't make it a subpar (and gadget - a cool one) smartwatch.

no, I don't think this is accurate. You can have processes run on a device in the background, you can pair bluetooth to it, you can send data back with it.
