Finally: the days where one has to read a book in one continious session are numbered. With this bookmark one can interrupt reading a book at any time. Also, the bookmark offers you an AI summary of the things that just have been read.

This is such an over-engineered and useless piece of shit tech - so ridiculous that this has to be satire. At least, this still seems to be a concept. Although the article has been posted in March 2025, I have not found any evidence that this is a joke, unfortunately. They seem to be serious with it.

    AI is infiltrating consumer hardware, no matter where you might look. From the Humane AI Pin (whose parent company was sold to HP last week for $116 million) to news of AI models disrupting stock markets, it’s hard to disconnect from just how ubiquitous AI has become.

    What the fuck kind of statement is this? The Humane AI Pin was a disastrous failure. Maybe a hundred people actually bought one. And that’s the absolute best example the writer can come up with for how AI is supposedly “infiltrating consumer hardware”? And then they can’t even come up with a second example so they just throw up their hands and say “or, y’know, like the stock market.” Yes, the stock market, famously a piece of consumer hardware.
