Human(e)'s Encore

Humane, Alexa Plus, and the future of computing Last week Humane announced that HP was acquiring its team and technology, which formally marks the end of their AI pin product. We thought today would be a good time to dissect the news, but more importantly, we wanted to explore what the future of computing may look like. This is an area Grant has spent years thinking about, and he opens up by sharing thoughts on the directional arrows of progress within wearables more broadly, and how the history of computing offers clues as to how this next era will unfold. Hammad concludes the conversation with his thoughts on the hyperscalers and whether new startups will be able to create the next iPhone.
