    glad that our generation 1 product even has a chance against a $457.18 billion industry

    we capture even 1% of that and we win

    I mean, yeah, just about any product should be able to celebrate if they were able to hit $4.5 billion in sales. That’s still a big number. But here’s the thing: capturing 1% in that market still will be really hard. Getting 0.1% would be something to celebrate for a first-gen product from a startup. Getting 0.01% should probably be something to celebrate, and if that’s too small of a number to be celebrating then your company’s probably going to fail.

    I’m out of the loop. What is “winning humane” and what does it has to do with programming?

      Humane is the maker of a new product called an AI pin. Basically, it’s a small computer you pin to your chest. It has no screen and reacts to voice commands after you press the capacitive interface on the front of the pin.

      There have been very negative reviews about it. MKBHD did one (yt) and so did Mrwhosetheboss (yt).

      TL;DW they don’t see the point and aren’t impressed with the implementation. It’s slow and buggy.

    How does nobody of these morons understand that phones are in reality at least 80% pocket entertainment and content consumption machines. Yeah you can text, call and browse the web for answers I guess, but I bet that tiktok, instagram and youtube eclipse anything else in terms of time spent in these apps. Its not surprising that our phones are 6"+ pocket screens.
