The story of the infamous humanitarian pins and is coming to an end. This week, the company announced that HP – known from computers and printers, which always seem to need to be supplemented – acquires several assets from Humane in Agreement worth $ 116 million It is expected to close at the end of the month.
HP will receive over 300 patents and patent applications, several humanitarian employees – including the founders of Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno – and the Humane Cosmos operating system. At the end of 2024, Humane tried to license system so that third parties could inject AI voice assistant to other products, Like cars. However, nothing materialized.
Humane became the “Next Big Thing” of the Silicon Valley at the end of 2023, when he presented its AI function, equipped with a chatgpt assistant and a laser display that promised to replace your smartphone. But when the reviews came to the premiere in 2024 – you can read ours here – it was read. The problems were seemingly unlimited: often overheated; Often hallucini AI; There were almost no useful functions; The projector was annoying … and so on.
No wonder HP doesn’t want to do much with AI PIN equipment. Sales stopped effectively, and Humane will spend phrases for anyone who bought a PIN after November 15, 2024 (if so, why?). The existing AI heels will be stop functioning In the afternoon of the Pacific on February 28. Almost every basic function will stop working – but you can still find out how much The battery remained! – And your data will be deleted, so make sure you synchronize and download them now.
As for HP, he plans to integrate Humane’s artificial intelligence with his products to “unlock new levels of functionality for our clients and make AI promises.” Good luck with this. In the meantime, humani engineers will create a group called HP IQ, an innovation laboratory that will apparently build an ecosystem of knowledgeable functions in the HP product line. Maybe it will mean a printer that will not lead her user crazy? Thumbs.
