    new innovation team that will infuse its printers and conference room kit with AI

    We all know that nobody asked for this, the only saving grace here is that both HP and Humane are incompetent

      Hard to make HP printers worse, but this might actually do it

        Sadly might just lead to other printers being worse too…

      Sometimes I go into my router’s logs and look at the firewall messages where it blocks all the traffic my printer tries to send to the internet with a smug look on my face

    I’ve never heard of this “pin” before and am fascinated by it. It does what smartphones already do but less conveniently? How did someone even pitch that in the first place?

      It was at the peak of AI hysteria. You could do a shit on the side walk and say it was AI generated, and youd get VC funding for your next AI powered turd.

      Less conveniently while costing something like $700 plus a monthly $25 subscription.

      I don’t get how it got pitched either.

    This makes about as much sense as when they licensed iPods from Apple to sell with HP branding.
