Selling For $1B
Humane Seeks Buyer After AI Pin Flops

Humane, the startup behind the AI Pin wearable computer, is looking for a buyer, aiming for a valuation between $750 million and $1 billion.

The $699 AI Pin has been criticized for slow responses, poor user experience, and not solving any real problems.

Despite raising nearly $250 million from investors like OpenAI’s Sam Altman and the founders being ex-Apple employees, the device's flaws and inconsistent software have hurt its reputation.

Predictable Feature
Google’s AI Search Results Have Ads

Announced on Tuesday, Google will test search and shopping ads within AI Overviews for US users. 

When users search for topics like "how to get wrinkles out of clothes," they’ll see a “Sponsored” section with product carousels from retailers like Walmart and Instacart.

Google will benefit by using web publishers' content to generate AI summaries while pocketing 100% of the ad revenue — nice.

Generative Remove
Adobe Lightroom’s Impressive Magic Eraser

The new "Generative Remove" feature, powered by Adobe's Firefly AI, lets users "paint" over unwanted objects in images and remove them with a click. 

It generates three variations to fill in the gaps, making the edits look natural. This feature is now in beta across Lightroom’s mobile, web, and desktop apps and is free during this period.

Additionally, Lightroom introduces an AI-powered Lens Blur tool that can apply realistic background blur effects with a single click, estimating depth to make the effect look natural.
