👀 Silicon Valley's Latest Flop
Humane's AI Pin, priced at $700, is struggling to gain traction in the market.
Internal sales documents reveal that only about 7,000 units are currently in use, far short of the company's initial goal of 100,000 sales in the first year. With approximately 10,000 units sold and 3,000 returned, the product is being criticized for its limited utility and potential safety issues.
Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee called it "the worst product" he had ever reviewed.
Humane is exploring options, including a possible acquisition by HP, and negotiating with investors. The company disputes some of the reported financial data but has not provided specific corrections.
🚪OpenAI co-founder Schulman leaves for Anthropic
OpenAI, the prominent AI research company, is experiencing significant changes in its leadership. John Schulman, a co-founder and key figure in developing ChatGPT, has left to join rival Anthropic.
Meanwhile, president and co-founder Greg Brockman is taking an extended sabbatical until year-end. Product manager Peter Deng has also departed.
Schulman's move is driven by his desire to focus more on AI alignment research. Despite these departures, OpenAI maintains that the company will continue to thrive.
Sam Altman, CEO, expressed gratitude for Schulman's contributions. With these changes, only three of OpenAI's original eleven founders remain: Altman, Brockman, and Wojciech Zaremba.
