The day when Humanitarian AI died was also reborn. Or at least there is hope.
On February 28, shortly after noon Pacific time, Humanitarian shut down servers supporting its controversial AI PIN, which is actually a $700 device for less than a year. A few minutes later, in a discord chat room on a record The Ai Pin, one member of a dedicated hacker band determined to keep the pins alive and keep the other teams secret. He has the code he needs to encrypt through humane.
Humane’s gadget is AI-enhanced hardware disappointing poster kids. The cute, clip-on device is designed to hang on the pocket of a lapel or shirt, allowing you to perform many functions in your phone – taking pictures, displaying text messages and orders surrounding AI Chatbot, all of which add some Pizazz in the form of a human-promised holographic picture.
The pin was released to the world in April 2024, which was a direct disappointment. Its main function simply doesn’t work properly, and from there things get worse. The pin is a loud slipper that has been widely ridiculed, and the company has even reached the point where the device has made more profits than it was sold. In February 2025, less than a year after the release of the PIN, Humane announced that it would shut down its services at the end of February 28 (February 28), and partly departed from some of the key AI components of computer company HP. Humane provides little concessions to owners. Refunds will only be made if someone has purchased a PIN within the past 90 days.
This move is an intuition for the rest of the fans of expensive, short-lived devices. In the last week of the short lifespan of Humane AI PIN, the soon-to-be-form user travels through all the sad phases of human subreddits and Discord servers. There is angered condemnation. Say goodbye heartbroken. Disappointment is everywhere.
“We are very frustrated,” said a humane pin user, asking for “23” to appear by X-sentence @23box_’s X-handle or just “23” and fear of being “a multi-billion dollar company to see shareholders.” He was an early adopter and evangelical preacher of humanitarian equipment, and he said he would use the Humane Ai Pin regularly until the service was insufficient. “It’s a super unique device that we’ve used almost every day for nearly a year. We really just hope it’s all good.”
On the morning of February 27, the official humanitarian and non-conflictment had been closed. Fortunately, the 23-year-old has decided to create a separate discord server for humanitarian refugees (called Rehumane) in an effort to work hard to get rid of the pin from the eyes of humanitarian or HP’s attention.
23 says: “We don’t want them to know what we are doing.”
Marcel, another named only user, avoids exposing himself to HP, and he sees the end of a brief human era as an exciting thing. He is used to tearing something like that apart. He has built his own PlayStation portal with the Nintendo switch. He was one of the first to transfer Rabbit R1 source code to Android phones (and for companies that stick to their devices, it’s not just chagrin for Android apps).
