why? bankruptcy

[@makershakerwaker9754]

Dude the product is pure trash, when do you guys realise it?

[@silentrunning3100]

saw a cool sofa and that one ted talk but i can't listen to you talk for more than a minute man "the team here is *cooking*" is so absurd i almost spit out my food

[@korovkin]

the coolest part of this video is the couch - is it comfortable ?!

[@ryanlindner8665]

Hey where did you go? No live stream or video after the pin launch? Please come back.

[@Millahtime]

I know Humane has gathered an all-star team of brilliant designers and engineers. I know Imran is an incredible design leader. I know all of these things. And yet, I still get major pause over the idea of this device. I'm a tech enthusiast, but also just an admirer of great products and design. I feel like this is a device with a conception from the perspective of people who seemingly despise technology and consumer gadgets. The tech enthusiast in me says "well, I don't really WANT to remove tech from my life or make it invisible." But the design and product enthusiast in me is really excited to see what the fully-formed product is. I kind of have a suspicion that Imran was so opposed to Apple green lighting development on an XR headset (now unveiled as the Vision Pro), that he left Apple to do this. I may be wrong, but that's kind of the vibe I'm getting. The Vision Pro is pure bliss and excitement for the tech enthusiast in me. It's ALSO design/product porn, but the computer and software potential is what has me EXCITED. It's like computer nerd euphoria. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. To me, it's OKAY to be excited for consumer technology that is simply COOL. It's an entirely new playground for computer software. Someone who LOVES software is probably looking at the Vision Pro excited to tinker and play with it. Imran's perspective on the other hand seemingly looks down on that sort of euphoria and simple joy for computing. I'm not sure I agree what that.

God man I came to see what you had to say about the Ted talk after watching your video about what you think the device is only to see you got hired 😅 that's crazy amazing all the best to you kiddo

[@gomayoma12]

Sam the man, congrats, been there when the humane video dropped. Great work and keep crushing it at Humane!

[@samsheffer]

thank you mario! glad to you have here

[@VentiDecimi]

I am beyond stoked for you, I've been a follower for the good part of 10 years and it's amazing to see your progress in life! The universe works in mysterious ways, as a friend showed me the Ted video some weeks ago, but I had no idea you were part of the project! It goes without saying that the product looks awesome, yet as a quadriplegic man I won't be able to project the device on my hand, nor interact with it using hand gestures. Are you guys considering accessibility features on the device? Disability is often overlooked when creating a product, and even though I understand this from a business standpoint, it is'd be nice to be able to use the device as everybody else. All the best Sam! Ciao from Italy

[@bjornunderabadsign]

"It goes without saying that the product looks awesome" Does it, though?

[@jbc2260]

Thanks Sam for the TED Talk ref. I have been really amazed by Humane, and seeing it live produced me the same emotion as when I saw Steve Jobs tell the world “it’s a web browser, a navigation device and… a phone”! Best of luck on that thrilling adventure dude!!!

[@JuanQuinelli]

Damn, I literaly watched your humane video two days ago, then the ted talk (btw got me super hyped). Now you working there! Dreams do come true I guess!

[@samsheffer]

hell yea!

[@ScottLeapman]

Great seeing you in video after chatting with you in Discord yesterday during the exciting launch! I ordered an Equinox Pin and can't wait to become more humane soon.

[@emaron11]

I am not totally sold on humane as i see huge limitations on the product i saw on ted talk which i think can be better delivered in another format. As you are part of the team you must have better insider info on what humane will eventually bring out to market so i'm excited to see that. I do feel very optimistic because of Imran and bethany creating a badass team.

[@injeolmi6]

We are proud of you, Sam. All of us.

[@chrisfeo7924]

Sam, I hope you speak up and not hide from the truth. How is it even possible that such a big team, with huge funding, great minds.... can produce such a mediocre product?

I really want to see if this can separate me from my phones screen and do something innovative, Im nervous that it wont, but if the price is right then I am all in on buying one, if this can transform my interaction with technology and mean that I can do away with my phone then that would be amazing for me, my family, and eventually my daughter. my mind is saying 'please be the thing I hope you will be'

I love the timing of this. It seems like the exact opposite of the Apple Vision Pro. It seems to me like humanity is going to slide into one of two camps either screen always, or screen rarely. Once the implants come, we won’t have to bother with the goggles though.

You know Sam, I've been following you for years. I was even this close to coming to meet you in Tel Aviv, if i hadn't busted my face open a few days prior on my electric skateboard. lol. I hope you don't take this the wrong way cuz I'm just trying to convey how all this humane stuff looks as someone whos watched a few videos of yours, the ted talk, etc. just trying to be honest. its a bit eye roll inducing. the website has no info besides extremely vague talk of missions, futures, the word "AI" fifty times (which as we know is a requirement for any company in 2023), visions, etc. Imrans ted talk, i mean sure we got to see his shirt siri thing and the laser which i guess counts as a tangible product but also like, meh. it really did seem like siri in his shirt. and not to shit on a guy who worked at apple for 22 years. im sure you're all smart as fuck but i can't help just feel a little underwhelmed. even more-so in a post-AppleVisionPro world. i hope im not coming off too harshly. ive enjoyed your channel and your videos for many years, im just a bit bummed to see you pushing what *seems* like yet another empty, buzzword-happy, tech company thats promising us the world and not really delivering. but i guess we'll see about that when this thing actually comes out. being that youre the "head of new media", maybe this could be some constructive criticism. or maybe im just a pompous ass who thinks youtube comments can actually matter. probably a bit of both.
