YES

I bought both the Humane pin and the r1.

I was in the first batch of the r1, so hopefully I’ll get both devices around April.

Resolves YES if I like the rabbit better.

Resolves NO if I like the Humane pin better.

I’ll make sure to use each for a week before deciding, and test both products rigorously.

Will extend if necessary

The Humane one will be shorter:

Setting up the pin was an absolute nightmare. Navigating the display is worse than the Rabbit. I was finally able to put in my password and it immediately said it needed to cool down for a few minutes (before I’d even used it!).

 

I tried to use it multiple times and it gave the incorrect answer for ~50% of all questions. The feedback time is also insanely slow.

 

The price to quality ratio for this thing is dramatically worse than the R1.

 

I had exceedingly low expectations for both the R1 and the Humane but the Humane turned out way worse than I was expecting, even after watching the reviews prior to it arriving.

 

This is resolving in favor of the R1.

@GabeGarboden Wow! How terrible. I thought it would at least get a speed improvement with GPT-4o.

@Nikos It's honestly just awful. I try to remain optimistic about new technology but there was honestly nothing good I could say about it

Testing out Humane now. Extending close until Monday

estimated delivery Wednesday

Gabe’s review of the R1 here: https://manifold.markets/_deleted_/will-gabegarboden-be-underwhelmed-w#543wp57w2u7

I’m still betting that the rabbit will be less underwhelming than the AI pin. But the pin seems to be taking its time shipping. Maybe they can get in some meaningful improvements before it lands in your hands!

Just got this email

I was prompted to setup a Humane account yesterday.

I also got a notification that my R1 has shipped.

Hopefully both get delivered soon. I’ll update as things progress

@GabeGarboden what are your thoughts of the pin so far? Would you say the reviews have been representative?

@qqii I don't have it yet! I'll let you all know when it's delivered. I'm trying not to be influenced by the reviews but so obviously Humane isn't getting glowing reviews. There haven't really been R1 reviews so not sure what to think there yet.

bought Ṁ10 YES at 61%

This channel has some videos of the R1: https://youtu.be/xLFJ0kqaebI

Comparing that to the reviews of the Humane Pin, the R1 has similar functions but also comes with a whimsical interface.

bought Ṁ10 YES from 60% to 61%

There's also this channel, which I think is an archive of videos from discord?

Humane Pin reviews rolling out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w1vv7_dU2Y

predicted NO

A now deleted video demo of r1's vision capabilities (expires in 2 days): https://streamable.com/t10qoy

predicted YES

@SirMemealot Phew, at least it got that right! It does seem to be pretty slow.

My bet is the r1 will flop hard whereas the Pin will be underwhelming, so over a NO

predicted YES

@SirMemealot Oh! Tell me more about why you think the R1 will flop hard?

predicted NO

@Nikos I've been pretty active on their discord and from the live demos posted by the CEO, the response time, as well as the quality of the responses, are both embarrassingly bad

What is the reasoning behind not using a smart watch for this?

A small note: since YES -> R1 > Pin you might want to rename the market which currently has them listed in the opposite order. Maybe something like “Will I like the Rabbit R1 more than the humane AI pin?”

@Nikos Yes, thank you, updated

Very interesting! The R1 having a screen seems pretty useful. But at that point are you just carrying around two phones? And from the R1 keynote I got the vibe that not a lot of features are currently finished. If they can get all the integrations with other apps working, I bet it would be good. But I don’t think that is going to ship.

The ai pin being audio only is intriguing. Do you use voice assistants a lot already? I’m also curious what other features the pin will be shipping with. My worry is that it will be just a push-to-talk-with-chatGPT button. But then again , that would be pretty useful!

I’m excited to see what your outcome is! Are you also getting an Apple Vision Pro? I’d be curious to see which of the three you end up using more a month in :P

@Nikos Yes! I’ll be trying to preorder the Vision Pro right away Friday morning. I haven’t been more excited for a tech product in a long time
