This is what I get for connecting in San Francisco. The flight attendant did give me a dozen packs of those little ginger-snap cookies, though, so I may be biased.

edit: not sure if the previous comment was edited or I imagined it said it was their marketing guy before, but I'm editing his name out of the comment to not potentially tarnish his search engine results
If I was working on the product, I’d probably feel okay full stopping. If I saw the person representing us full stopping Id probably think something like hey, nobody died here. And also I feel like a full stop is reserved for maybe one or two people at a company.
Ah just like telekinesis, it only works when the skeptics aren't around
It's probably terrible, but oh so hypocritical. I can think of many occasions in the last 15 years these reviewers have cited the potential of gimmicks and latched on to the manufacturers promise to improve.
Though hyperbolic, I thought the reviews were balanced. Products shouldn’t primarily be built on hype and optimism, they should fulfill a job to be done. The software for AI Pin will improve but so will AI capabilities for smartphones in parallel.
Don't have time to go look for one. But can think of many occasions they'd mention the manufacturer has promised to update and improve this and then give them a free pass on whatever gimmicky aspect of the product they're looking at, usually software. Overlooking that aspect rather than lambasting them.
I mean perhaps a slight stretch, but their coverage of the Apple Vision Pro, have they had much reason to use it, aside from the demos? There's also some UX issues mentioned but they're given a free pass as they expect Apple to improve it with time. They'll say "not there yet" rather than "worst product ever".
I’m not saying the AVP will fix all its issues but it is so much more impressive than a cellular device hooked up to OpenAi’s APIs.
Also, let’s not forget that Humane wasn’t even planing to use AI for their product until the last year or two when AI took off. Maybe you can say it was a smart pivot but to me to reeked of just jumping on the AI bandwagon (which, does make some sense I’ll grant you).
In truth the coffee there ain’t great, and the prep is a bit hit or miss, but the folks behind the counter are nice, and you can buy all of the cookies and cookie butter you could want; but it’s probably best not to overdo it. I think they even have a cookie butter latte but never tried it since that sounds too sweet.
In the north of France where I lived for a while, it's an absolute staple akin to what peanut butter is to an american maybe or Matcha to a Japanese. Speculoos butter is spread on bread, lots of pastries are speculoos flavoured etc.
Wonderful on planes and wonderful at home. Also great when dunked in milk. Make sure you let a small bit (or one whole) 'accidentally' fall off into the milk and rescue it later. Hmmm....
I remember the first few times I flew a plane, I simply stared in awe out the window for the entire flight. I remember telling myself "No matter how many more times I fly, I must never forget how amazing this feels", and I like to think that I've kept that amazement alive even though I've probably flown over a hundred times now.
