It seems to me that a lot of reviewers just simply don’t want to deal with a learning curve for a new interface that takes more than 5 seconds to master? There is a learning curve to using the Ai Pin’s hand gestures to control and navigate Cosmos but it took me 5 days to get really good Al at it. Like I said in my review, I can easily "laser in" 9/10 times and roll through the Laser Ink Display interface really, really fast It does work, you just need to learn how to use it. If you're unwilling to learn it, that's a you problem. In this world, there exists good tech with inputs and controls that are not stupid easy to use — but they require practice and patience I don't need to pretend or get defensive about my opinions. I always have receipts

Because you guys loved the 20 minutes of me asking the Humane Ai Pin voice questions so much, here's 19 minutes (almost 20!), no cuts, of me asking the rabbit inc. R1 AI questions and using its computer vision to "look" at stuff Some quick thoughts on the R1: • The AI/LLM is not perfect, but it gets way more correct than it does incorrect • The R1 is FAST to respond with answers. The Ai Pin looks embarrassingly slow in comparison • Vision is very impressive. Sometimes it IDs objects incorrectly (like in my other video, but since hard resetting, it seems to get more things right). It's also fast like the audio responses • Summaries are on point. I pointed the R1 at various Inverse articles that I either wrote or edited and it did a great job giving me the main points, even when the text was friggin' tiny on my iMac • The LLM is far more intelligent than on Ai Pin. It's better at understanding follow-ups with natural language. The Ai Pin is supposed to be contextual, but it often doesn't seem to remember what I said right before • It's late (3:30 am right now) so I have not connected my R1 to services like Spotify, Uber, or Midjourney. Will do that in the morning after I get some sleep. I'm very excited to see how Large Action Model (LAM) works and to teach the R1 to do stuff for me • There are some bugs that and Peiyu Liao tell me they're working on. For example, fixing the time (very important) and adding the % symbol back (also very important if your Wi-Fi password uses it!). Somehow, they seem to be working faster to fix bugs and issues than Humane • Jesse also tells me they're paying close attention to feedback on the sensitivity of the analog scroll wheel. It doesn't feel responsive enough, sometimes lagging a half second behind your actual scroll. He says they tuned it to be less sensitive to prevent it from activating on surfaces like a table. I think it could be a smidge more responsive. At least, that can be adjusted in a future software update This is not a review, only first impressions. I need to actually spend real time using and, most importantly, living with the R1. That being said, my initial setup bugginess/issues aside, the R1 is (as you can see in this long video) working quite well. Again, not perfectly every time, but far better than the Ai Pin. I am impressed. Really, really impressed Drop your questions and I'll answer them in the morning. What an exciting moment in tech. I live for this kinda stuff!
