  1. Humane Ai Pin hacks turn the discontinued gadget into a standalone Android-powered gadget

    The Humane Ai Pin is a tiny wearable device that launched in 2024 and was discontinued less than a year later. With a microphone for voice input, a built-in camera, and a projector that displays information on your hand, it was designed as an AI companion device. And when it was canceled, it basically stopped working.

    But independent developers stepped in and started looking for ways to keep […]

  5. Wszystko, co wiemy o Apple AI Pin

    Jeśli wierzyć plotkom, Apple pracuje nad urządzeniem do noszenia na ciele opartym na sztucznej inteligencji, które opisuje się jako przypinkę lub zawieszkę.

    Obecnie Apple prowadzi testy tego urządzenia, ale jeśli prace nad nim posuną się naprzód, może ono trafić na rynek już w 2027 roku. Co dziś wiemy o tym tajemniczym urządzeniu?

    Wielkością ma być zbliżone do AirTaga, cienkie, okrągłe, aluminiowo-szklane. Można je będzie przypiąć do ubrania lub torby albo nosić na szyi. AI Pin Apple zapewni ładowanie bezprzewodowe jak w Apple Watch.

    W kontekście kamery mamy tutaj różne doniesienia, w których mowa o niskiej rozdzielczości – kamera ma służyć tylko do zbierania informacji o otoczeniu. W innych doniesieniach pojawiają się dwie kamery do zdjęć i wideo. Wykorzystane ma zostać Visual Intelligence, podobnie jak iPhone.

    Urządzenie ma posiadać mikrofon do komunikacji z Siri, głośnik też jest możliwy, ale niepotwierdzony. AI Pin będzie korzystać z nowej wersji Siri w iOS 27, wspieranej przez modele Gemini dzięki współpracy Apple z Google. Ma posiadać nowy, wbudowany procesor Apple (jak H2 w AirPods), większość przetwarzania będzie się odbywać na iPhone. AI Pin nie ma być samodzielnym produktem (podobnie, jak pierwszy Apple Watch nim nie był), ale dodatkiem do iPhone’a („oczy i uszy iPhone’a”).

    OpenAI pracuje nad podobnym urządzeniem opartym na ChatGPT, wspólnie z Jonym Ive’em. Humane AI Pin (700 USD) nie odniósł sukcesu – był samodzielny, nie dodatkiem do smartfona.

    Jony Ive zaprojektuje sprzęt AI dla OpenAI. Zespół projektanta dołącza do firmy Sama Altmana

    Od lat mówi się także o tym, że firma z Cupertino wkrótce zaprezentuje słuchawki AirPods z kamerami IR do zbierania danych o otoczeniu oraz inteligentne okulary z kamerami wysokiej rozdzielczości, współpracujące z Siri, bez wyświetlacza w soczewkach. Możliwe, że plotki na temat tych wszystkich urządzeń okażą się dotyczyć jednego.

  25. Chatbots, Pins, and Other Talking Distractions

    In the end everything boils down to a question of taste or a matter of preference. In the beginning everything bubbles up in a hot tub with the jets on high. That’s kind of how I’m viewing all the bubbling around chatbots, AI Pins , possible AI earbuds, AI glasses, and any other kind of method or gadget folks are devising to talk to computers — those with screens, and those without.

    Apple rumors popping like champagne corks are going to turn up the heat on discussions about chatbots, especially since Apple had been previously saying they weren’t interested in creating a chatbot for its Apple Intelligence portfolio. Fortunately most of those discussion will be between humans.

    Mark Gurman reports that we’ll see changes to what we currently think of as Siri this spring, but stay tuned for a revamped version that offers the back and forth conversational approach that existing chatbots offer, codenamed Campos,  later this year.

    Almost simultaneously, MacWorld reports that Apple employees are being encouraged to use a chatbot called Enchanté in their work. So, it sounds like Apple is seeding the ground for what’s to come.

    For the record, I’m not big on voice computing. Yes, I use my Apple Watch to ask Siri to set a reminder or send a text message, but that’s about the extent of what my experimenting with voice computing has boiled down to.

    I’ve tried some of the existing chatbots on smartphones and on computers, and I’ve been in the company of others who enjoy using voice as their primary method of interacting with smartphones. I don’t begrudge anybody using voice as their input method if that’s their preference, and I certainly don’t if it makes computing accessible to those who can’t type. But it’s just not for me.

    Part of it is I find myself being more accurate when I can type, and part of it is the social aspect. While microphone technology continues to improve to allow better pickup in noisy environments I find it awkward when someone pulls out their smartphone and starts talking to it with others around. I feel compelled to silence myself while they are doing so. I couldn’t imagine using it in my theatre work, compared to using an iPad with pen to take notes, because my talking would be distracting to everyone else in the rehearsal hall. Goodness knows being in a room with small children laughing/crying/talking at the top of their lungs doesn’t strike me as a suitable environment.

    I spent a good portion of this fall watching the Chicago Bears on their improbable run, while texting back and forth on several chains with my nephews and others. I can’t imagine doing that in my local sports pub trying to do so via voice input.

    I won’t get into a conversation about how some are using existing chatbots for social interactions like therapy and companionship except to say that I’m guessing if those trends continue as voice input as chatbots proliferate, we’ll eventually see similar reactions to curtail that type of usage similar to what we saw back in the day about decreasing smartphone and screen time usage.

    There are some interesting questions out there though. OpenAI has already announced its inevitable move into advertising for ChatGPT. I’m sure the others aren’t far behind. I’m not sure how viable advertising really is in a voice chat environment, whether it’s a smartphone, pin, or set of headphones. I certainly wouldn’t want a “conversation” interrupted with an ad. Amazon certainly doesn’t seem to have come close with its Alexa products.  To my way of thinking, ads in chatbot conversations will give new meaning to the clichés about intrusive advertising.

    I’m also of the opinion that while the non-smartphone AI devices might be clever gadget accessories, I don’t see them ever replacing smartphones or significantly denting that market. Too much of everyday life has become so inextricably linked to smartphone usage that requires a screen that I just don’t see voice chatbots replacing it. Someday your voice may be your password, but I think we’re a long ways off from that for interacting with the businesses and other institutions we deal with daily.

    But who knows where this is all headed. Quite frankly, I don’t think anybody does. Including the chatbots.

    You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

    Mark Gurman reports that we’ll see changes to what we currently think of as Siri this spring, but stay tuned for a revamped version that offers the back and forth conversational approach that existing chatbots offer, codenamed Campos,  later this year.

    Almost simultaneously, MacWorld reports that Apple employees are being encouraged to use a chatbot called Enchanté in their work. So, it sounds like Apple is seeding the ground for what’s to come.

    For the record, I’m not big on voice computing. Yes, I use my Apple Watch to ask Siri to set a reminder or send a text message, but that’s about the extent of what my experimenting with voice computing has boiled down to.

    I’ve tried some of the existing chatbots on smartphones and on computers, and I’ve been in the company of others who enjoy using voice as their primary method of interacting with smartphones. I don’t begrudge anybody using voice as their input method if that’s their preference, and I certainly don’t if it makes computing accessible to those who can’t type. But it’s just not for me.

    Part of it is I find myself being more accurate when I can type, and part of it is the social aspect. While microphone technology continues to improve to allow better pickup in noisy environments I find it awkward when someone pulls out their smartphone and starts talking to it with others around. I feel compelled to silence myself while they are doing so. I couldn’t imagine using it in my theatre work, compared to using an iPad with pen to take notes, because my talking would be distracting to everyone else in the rehearsal hall. Goodness knows being in a room with small children laughing/crying/talking at the top of their lungs doesn’t strike me as a suitable environment.

    I spent a good portion of this fall watching the Chicago Bears on their improbable run, while texting back and forth on several chains with my nephews and others. I can’t imagine doing that in my local sports pub trying to do so via voice input.

    I won’t get into a conversation about how some are using existing chatbots for social interactions like therapy and companionship except to say that I’m guessing if those trends continue as voice input as chatbots proliferate, we’ll eventually see similar reactions to curtail that type of usage similar to what we saw back in the day about decreasing smartphone and screen time usage.

    There are some interesting questions out there though. OpenAI has already announced its inevitable move into advertising for ChatGPT. I’m sure the others aren’t far behind. I’m not sure how viable advertising really is in a voice chat environment, whether it’s a smartphone, pin, or set of headphones. I certainly wouldn’t want a “conversation” interrupted with an ad. Amazon certainly doesn’t seem to have come close with its Alexa products.  To my way of thinking, ads in chatbot conversations will give new meaning to the clichés about intrusive advertising.

    I’m also of the opinion that while the non-smartphone AI devices might be clever gadget accessories, I don’t see them ever replacing smartphones or significantly denting that market. Too much of everyday life has become so inextricably linked to smartphone usage that requires a screen that I just don’t see voice chatbots replacing it. Someday your voice may be your password, but I think we’re a long ways off from that for interacting with the businesses and other institutions we deal with daily.

    But who knows where this is all headed. Quite frankly, I don’t think anybody does. Including the chatbots.

  29. Chatbots, Pins, and Other Talking Distractions

    In the end everything boils down to a question of taste or a matter of preference. In the beginning everything bubbles up in a hot tub with the jets on high. That’s kind of how I’m viewing all the bubbling around chatbots, AI Pins , possible AI earbuds, AI glasses, and any other kind of method or gadget folks are devising to talk to computers — those with screens, and those without.
