Reviews are in for a tiny 700 wearable computer, less than 2 square-inches in size, made by two former Apple employees who promised a breakthrough'iPhone killer.' And they haven't been kind: Humane's AI Pin has been called'The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed' garnering low 4-out-of-10 scored from major tech publications. The device -- which is worn on the user's lapel, answers spoken commands via AI, and projects a tiny screen onto their hand -- has been criticized for hardware that overheats in just'a couple of minutes,' AI that delivers'incorrect answers' and worse. Now, Humane's employees and engineers have admitted that the AI Pin, which also requires a 24 monthly subscription plan, is'frustrating sometimes' and that the harsh reviews have been'honest' and'solid.' It's yet to be seen if the public will prefer tapping an object on their chest as opposed to pulling their phone out of their pocket Some tech industry boosters lashed out at influential YouTuber reviewer Marques Brownlee, whose negative review of the AI Pin has 3.7 million views, accusing him of'carelessness' for'potentially killing someone else's nascent project' with his critique.

I love this question from Youtuber Marques Brownlee, who goes by MKBHD. He asks: "What is a photo?" Just think about how early black-and-white film cameras worked. You pointed the camera at, say, a tree and pressed a button. This opened the shutter so that light could pass through a lens (or more than one lens) to project an image of the tree onto the film.

This course, run by IBM, is a great introduction to using Python for ML. It is incredibly useful for grasping how to leverage both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, giving you all the knowledge you need to start applying both methods in your day-to-day work. If you want to expand your Python knowledge for data science applications, look no further than this course.

The results may look fascinating, but what's cooler is that this comes from OpenAI's DALL-E 2, founded by Elon Musk. So in a way, credit for this Apple Car goes to Tesla's Elon Musk?! Mmm?? Designed by Dall-E 2 based on a text prompt from designer, educator, and YouTuber John Mauriello, this Apple Car is fascinating for two prime reasons – the car's design itself, but more importantly, the underlying AI technology that ended up creating the car. The genesis for this idea came from Marques Brownlee's own efforts with DALL-E 2. In a YouTube video, Brownlee demonstrated how simply typing the words "Apple Car" resulted in a car that looked like the apple fruit. This became a starting point for Mauriello, who instead, decided to tweak the prompt a little to get more specialized results. Mauriello told the AI to design a "Minimalist Sportscar inspired by a MacBook and a Magic Mouse, built out of aluminum and glass", while also specifying it to design something in the style of Apple's former design head, Jony Ive.

It's been another wild year for Marques Brownlee. When WIRED spoke with the video creator known as MKBHD in 2014, the 20-year-old "YouTube sensation" was busy playing ultimate frisbee and about to graduate from college. Brownlee still plays ultimate, but now his business operations have significantly expanded. The consistent stream of slick videos on Brownlee's YouTube channel cover a wide breadth of consumer tech, from the latest smartphones and electric vehicles to weird earbuds and retro tech. Notable channel guests include Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and that creepy robot dog from Boston Dynamics.

Apple war has reached a turning point with the inclusion of the Google's new Pixel phone. The Silicon Valley giant is making waves in the mobile industry with its patented smartphone that blows artificial intelligence assistant Siri out of the water. In a showdown of giants, it seems Google is chalking up this round under their bedpost, as Apple scrambles to get the iPhone 7 back into the mainstream's top of mind. Pixel's main champion in the ring is not the hardware or the design, which by today's standards is nothing new or innovative. Anyone with the right tools can make a new phone, but the playing field evens out with the software add-ons they include in the package.

Siri continues to receive criticism over at times unreliable performance although Apple's been advancing its personal digital assistant by leaps and bounds since its debut in October 2011. Google, on the other hand, is regularly praised for its powerful knowledge graph and accuracy. You probably know that the search company's exciting new feature, Assistant, recently made its debut on the new Pixel smartphones. With that in mind, YouTuber Marques Brownlee took it upon himself to pit the Pixel's Assistant against the iPhone's Siri in a cool side-by-side video comparison. Let the battle of the smartphone voice assistants begin!
