that’s difficult to reproduce at scale; there are only so many “super bowl” events in a calendar year

Congratulations on the launch!

I just shared this on Slack and it looks like the site description has a typo: "A serverless AI infrastructure platform [...] customers experience a 40%+ cost savings as opposed to AWS of GCP"

i haven’t personally used the AI pin, but based on reviews, it doesn’t feel like these devices are going to feel productive until a much higher % of queries is answered on-device (without going to the cloud).

MKBHD asked his pin what he was looking at, and in the time humane’s pin to take a pic, send it up to the cloud, decide what model is most appropriate, and narrate a really long (possibly hallucinatory) answer; he simply took his phone out and google lens answered correctly with a lot of time to spare.

I know these are first-gen products and the fact that this one would presumably have a much higher degree of context on my personal life might make this better (without speaking to privacy implications). Still, over-reliance on the cloud and the fact that this doesn’t interface with my phone (where most reminders, alarms, messages, etc, happen) is going to make these devices a tough sell.

That’s not how history works

I was so excited to see an engineering designer role open, but I can only do remote right now. Either way, I’m a big fan of the product!

Zoom? A company publicly traded on the Nasdaq and funded in San Jose, CA?

I do therapy and group therapy on Zoom, are they going to train a therapist AI? Does this go around HIPAA privacy rules? Would they keep a file on phi?

Revert to existing experience?

I would. They already know how much I need to pay them/how much they owe me. It should be as simple as a text message I reply “y/n” to.

Americans do schooling wrong, and kids have to worry about getting shot on top of being overworked. I wouldn’t feel incentivized to go to school either.

Hearing aids are generally calibrated for an individual’s specific frequency loss (usually done by a medical professional). We’re already seeing devices that simply amplify all frequencies, and while I’m no doctor, I can imagine boosting all frequencies for prolonged periods of time could lead to additional hearing loss.

Do the output limits change? If I give it an entire codebase, could it potentially spit out an entire codebase?

I’m wondering if this is a quick way to get to $5 each round trip (send and receive)
