 Hello, I just went outside for less than a minute to take my trash cans to the curb and These glasses that automatically get dark Got real dark real fast, which is what you want and that was five minutes ago so I mean not horrible, but They will slowly not be dark As the show goes on this show is this a show Let me see which let's do the thing where I share the screen Yep, that's the one Hello screen. Hello Zoe on this episode of DTNS Social network that doesn't let you type to Creases against ad blockers a closer look Disappointment I have to read that Software engineer Benjamin Sandowski published a post Monday about the humane AI pin and it shall we say less than stellar reception from early reviewers Talked about this a bit on GDI, but let's take a closer look at the variables humane raised 230 million spent six years to ship an AI pin Which you wear on your body and has a protective ring kind of all for 700 ducks on desk Details about the venture capital part of how humane got to this point, which is an excellent read But let's talk about what we know and where we are now in May 2023 humane co-founder and former Apple employee Imran Choudhury developed delivered the TED talk Users complain as far fewer features than demo promise too heavy runs too hot as bad battery life One extremely influential and walrus specter review remark as brown Lee who has 18 million YouTube followers titled his review the worst Product I've ever reviewed for now Hey, the gamer main got them heights. What's going on? Sandowski notes that when humane launched 2018 people we're starting to talk about how our phones aren't good for us The iPhone launched its screen time, which has proven a good enough solution for many to curb their screen addiction Okay All right. All right, let's see what Sandowski says X-Apples I Someone who strives to build products and paint movement the Apple can destroy a lot of stops. Oh, okay There's an exhibit alongside Juicero and clinkl. Oh, wow already Benjamin Sandowski Who is Benjamin Sandowski? Let's find out. He doesn't say Benjamin Sandowski I went live too fast. No YouTube notification. That just takes you there. Okay Co-founder developer of Halid Advisor to Silicon Valley. Oh All right. He's a developer Silicon Valley. I got it Be successful one of them worked on the original iPhone Humane was pitched as replacing the phone through the lens of wine now Married co-founders are red flag. You may might have worked out if it followed a traditional VC startup formula Instead they tried to follow the Apple way where 1.0 products need to be so insanely polished as to blow everyone away When they take an existing product and make it amazing Apple's existing ecosystem They like to Fitbit to prove the concept. They had little evidence people want to ditch their phones. Ah Sandowski's criticisms come down to Three main things the Apple has for its Apple way That humane did not Good afternoon Clinton. I don't have any space in my luggage for my trip home after TMS Vegas I always travel super light Zoe lack of established Product to compare to lack of evidence That people wanted the alternative Humane offered a lack of understanding of user Mindset form factor etc Raise money build something proof. It's taking off go to step one Sandowski says humane should have launched a less polished product earlier rather Fully developed but Disappointing product later Pa pa I don't know he's saying fail fast Nostalgia. Yeah. All right. I Get it. Okay Yes, it is fully developed Clinton in the sense that it has lots of features It's not fully developed in the sense that the features work. Well, those are those are two different spins Brian I just find it less stressful to carry a bunch of luggage around and have to keep track of it Travel light Travel easy. Oh That should be Sarah because it's about Apple vision show for consideration TCL made a soap opera Back tomorrow with Scott Johnson All right. Yeah, see Zoe. I hostile in the UK with only carry-on and you still brought snacks That's that's talent. I mean it works Clinton. Let's let's not over exaggerate the it just doesn't work well I think that's the That's the big thing You can go ten days and pack light. I Bet you pack light Brian H. You just Yeah You you don't see what I'm comparing myself to I guess as light as possible. Yeah The eclipse was wonderful Let's say pack efficient How's that? You don't need you know for a ten-day trip. Do you need ten shirts? Oh, we don't have mail Let's get a mailbag in there But do you need ten dress shirts ten off-duty shirts? You know what I mean? There's there's some efficiencies you could You can have All right Mailbag mailbag mailbag Booster podcast engagement. I'm spam Invitation to be spam. Let's use Gabby Hmm. I have three pieces of email with no subject and attachments. Do you think I should open them? Who paid your property tax? bags fly free I Got you Yeah, to me. It's not so much about the cost of the bags It's more of the like having to go to bag check and get them and Lumber around and all that stuff. It's just easier if you pack pack efficient. Oh Yeah, this would be the this would be the second half for me usually it for us It's half in November and then the second half in April I Paid ours all at once this past year because I knew things were looking tight. So thankfully I'm all done All right That looks like a show to me. We're gonna talk about Air chat have you all heard about air chat air chat you can only post with your voice and then it does speech to text This is Robert Scoble. So you're hearing up Robert, but you could also read him. I need to find more people to follow Sarah Lane Okay. Yeah, no messages yet. Who's Patrick Bay's you're following So we're going to talk about air chat on Daily Tech news show today Which means I have to try it out some more. So here I am Trying to come up with something to post does my laughter make it through But then it automatically post boom your post is up now. You can delete it Immediately if you're like, yeah, I don't like that the voice to text works really well So far I have not had it do anything crazy I even spoken Korean and my horrible Korean was translated into properly spelled hungul. So Yeah, how big would you dream if you knew you couldn't say there's also video Nobody's doing video though. Anyway, um, if any of you all would like an invite. I've got a few Yeah, air chat just talk has a smiley yellow face in the app store. That's right Here, I'll uh, let me let me add add this extra camera. Ah, there's two of me, but there This camera works better for That's it Right there. Yeah, we're gonna talk about that wired story today Uh, but yeah, if you want an invite to try it out, uh message me in the dts discord And I'll tell them anybody want Air chat invite We're going to talk about it on today's dts I get that wired Ernie Cole, where do I do my invites? Oh, and I already know how to get in touch with you Zoe. So there's motion at my front door Oh, it requires a phone number well That's I didn't give it access to my, uh I didn't give it access to to my contacts because I don't like doing that Please only invite people you can vouch for Oh boy delete draft I bet I could do this Now suddenly everybody's text messaging me They had to take down invites over the weekend. So I think they're being somewhat careful with invites. Hence the We don't have a way for you to to do this, you know, I could do this It's me It's me It's me Tom Merritt I see the bacon emojis Zoe can confirm. That's me I wrote tell me your phone number and I'll text you though. I don't know if it's us only This is a good way of confirming a text message Air chat No, I just see your email That's how I was able to use it eye message So weirdly even though you're on your phone, Zoe, you have to give me your phone number This is fun. Let's see if that works Let me see if air chat will take that Has a phone number. Oh, yeah, that makes sense I'll do that. All right. See if that worked Unless you want to give me your phone number which I don't recommend to be honest. Zoe and I have a working relationship. So I invited Eileen to I thought I could like copy a link and put it in discord and then that was going to be my way of You know vetting it, but it doesn't let me do that. Anyway, kind of nifty Uh, I need to find some more people to follow I know gary venerchuk is on here Who's he following? All right, there we go Kevin rose The usual suspects Let's kick it old school gary This feels very old to me, but I'm told there's lots of um That there's lots of young people on it too. So Your mileage may vary. Oh, jeez. Okay Should have looked at scobles follow list. He's following everyone on the planet Now we're talking Recognize all these folks Who's that? There's a lot of silicon valley folks here, but you know, I'm looking at scobles follows. So that makes sense I know that person Thank you to patrick beija for inviting me into this so I could try it out Very cool. Look sam olden I know who that is He's the open ai guy The once and future open ai guy Do Oh, that's a lot of people Still scrolling Was I part of gary's 2007 south by twitter party? If I don't remember does that mean I probably was 2007 A lot of recognizable names here Joanna stern Okay, wow. I'm still going Towards the end though Some names I haven't heard in a long time Still going Can you believe it It says I should be out of people. Oh, I know that guy Okay, okay There was someone earlier when I was scrolling I'm like, oh, I should I should that I haven't seen that I was like Oh, I should look and find them Yeah, it does. I mean It'll be an echo chamber and this happened with blue sky. It'll be an echo chamber until More people joined but this is a good way for them to load test Oh look There's someone I know All right, who was it? Who was it that I was going to try to find? Do you remember? Nope I think maybe I was going to look at someone's follows that that tracks Yeah, this person's only following 28 people. That's a lot easier to parse There we go Hold on. I have a piece of spam just came in I think this is going to be a good show today and I hope you agree I should probably go get prepared for the production meeting that we do I know this was a lot of just watching me scroll through Robert Scoble's air chat contacts and I apologize for that The reason you don't open the floodgates is that your servers get overwhelmed because you haven't scaled in anticipation for them That's exactly what happened over the weekend on Friday He gave everybody unlimited invites Just to see what would happen and it brought the service down So he went back to limiting the invites so they can they can properly scale the service That's that's just engineering for you Yeah, it's kind of interesting, isn't it? All right We'll talk more about it on daily tech news show Sarah, I know has been poking around at it too. So I will see What else I can find on it and until then that'll be in just about an hour from now I will have lunch. You will do whatever it is. You're going to do and we'll all have a great time.
