    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Despite seemingly having nothing else in the pipeline and the AI Pin being dead on arrival, Bloomberg reports the company is “seeking a price of between $750 million and $1 billion in a sale.”

    Humane was founded by two ex-Apple employees, Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, in 2018 and has raised $230 million from some big-name investors like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

    The Humane AI Pin immediately seemed like an idea that only made sense in a VC pitch room.

    The device is a wearable voice command box and camera that you magnetically clip onto a shirt, sort of like a Star Trek communicator.

    The device comes in two halves, with a front processing unit and a back battery, and the side clipped together magnetically with your shirt in the middle.

    Don’t be surprised if history places Humane on the list of “biggest tech startup flops ever” alongside the likes of Juicero and Ouya.
