For their trouble, Humane says it’s offering two free months of their Humane subscription, which is the $24-a-month data plan to use the device.

Wait, so this piece of crap costs $700, and you have to pay more than the cost of a Netflix subscription (assuming that hasn't gone up again while I write this) just to ask ChatGPT questions without using your prefectly good phone?

Oh and by the way if you want it in white it’s actually $800

Jesus Christ. And people actually bought this thing?

I know the Venn diagram of "People who buy into AI tech hype" and "People who bought into crypto" is basically a circle, but even so, that is some unbelievable levels of begging to be scammed. I'm starting to think this whole scene is just people with a very specific humiliation kink.
