February 28, shortly afternoon Pacific Time, Humane turns off his servers Support his controversial AI interval – Bricking a $ 700 device It was less than a year old. A few minutes later, in a Discord Voice cat room with the label “The Death of Ai Pin”, a member of a bunch of dedicated hackers, determined to keep their pins alive, leaves the rest of the group in secret. He had the codes they needed to cross Humane’s encryption.
The Humane gadget is the child of the poster of material disappointments improved in AI. The cute and reprimable device was supposed to hang on a pocket of reverse or shirt and allow you to perform many functions that you would find in a phone – Take images, display text messages and order around an AI chatbot, all with an additional pizazz in the form of the promised holographic displays promised.
Released around the world in April 2024, the spindle was an immediate disappointment. Its main characteristics did not work welland from there I just worsened. The pin was a floplargely mocked, and society even reached the point where it Treaty more feedback of the device he had not sold it. In February 2025, less than a year after the spindle exit, Humane announced that it Stop its services At the end of the month – Friday, February 28 – and separate some of its main components from AI to the IT company HP. Humane offered some concessions to the owners of pinning. Refund would only be given If someone had bought a pin in the last 90 days.
For the remaining fans of the expensive and short -lived device, the move was a punch. During the last week of the short lifespan of the Humane Pin, users of future forms ran all the stages of the sorrow through the servers of sub-curry and discord of Humane. There have been furious warm -ups. Goodbye to the broken heart. Disappointment all around.

He was an early and evangelist adopter of the Humane apparatus who says that he regularly used human pin, until the minute he came out. “It is a super unique device that we used almost every day for almost a year. We really wanted it to have a good race. »»
Official discord was closed on the morning of February 27. Fortunately, 23 had already decided to create a separate discord for human refugees, called Rehumane, in order to pursue unauthorized incursions to deconstruct the spindle far from the vigilant eye of Humane or HP.
“We didn’t want them to know what we were doing,” said 23.
Marcel, another user who gave his first name only to avoid exposing himself to reprisals of HP, saw the end of the brief Humane era as something exciting. He is used to tearing things like this. He built his own PlayStation portal from a Nintendo switch. He was one of the first people to Transfer the source code of rabbit R1 on an Android phone (the chagrin of a company that insisted that its device was Not just an Android application).
