  • Implications of AiPin and Oura Connectivity

    Originally posted this in the Humane Discord; lightly edited and expanded thoughts here. Been seeing some commentary on the NYT piece about chatbots/AI doing better diagnoses than doctors, and my mind went back to a prev convo (in the Humane Discord) on the AiPin being able to connect to the Oura Ring and other fitness/wellness tech… …ya know something, there’s a medical information issue I didn’t see before that I see now.

    Arguably, most of what has transpired over the past weeks as shaken some folks and empowered others. There is a matter of expertise that’s been questioned, for various reasons. It’s going to be interesting to see how we make new connections out of these renewed pieces of tension. Continue reading →

    Found a bit of a means to refocus this initiative this week. Still working on some connectedness. But, the shape of things here has found something calmer and more focused. And this might be what’s needed given what’s on the horizon. Also published: Prescription Lens Judgement Sounding Board Continue reading →

  • Sounding Board

    “Can we talk to you about… we are exploring this thing and not sure which path we should take. There’s what we know which is… And there’s a lot that we don’t know. How do you think we should approach this? What steps would you take in our shoes?” For some of the conversations since starting the Avanceé initiative, the previous blockquote has more or less been accurate to a number of them.

  • Prescription Lens Judgement

    If I do prescription lenses into the Brilliant Labs Frame, does this mean that the experiment to see if these could replace (or augment) prescription lenses is a failure? Is just considering prescription lenses a judgement of a failed experiment? ——— Saw a few renewed takes on Meta’s Orion and Snap’s latest Spectacles. Ended up throwing on YT one of them. Grabbed my Brilliant Labs Frame glasses, and let the ideas wash over me a bit. Continue reading →

    Spent a piece of the week contemplating the acceleration of noise to connected spaces, while noticing the deacceleration in admonishing artifacts that seem to be more humane. We’re going into a season of Thanksgiving without much thanks it seems. Continue reading →

    Seems like: the best kind of advocacy is folks seeing you do what you are advocating about. Not merely practicing what you preach, but embodying it. Continue reading →

    Had a great convo with the current maintainer behind Muse this week. Amongst the insightful things shared, we talked a good bit about a gradient of software which ranges from meditative/contemplative on one end (where Muse is) to that which is more productivity and collaboration-oriented on the other. When people have said they have a hard time figuring out Muse, I argued they do because there’s very little contemplative software. Continue reading →

  • Responsive Communication

    continued thoughts from the previously posted Refining the Contact Points One of the ways am using the Humane AiPin is in the form of a networking assistant. For several events, have used the AiPin to make a note of contacts by copying the business card into its notes and then adding notes as context needs. Not a pure CRM, but suitable enough to remember context and reach back out to persons. Continue reading →

    Making connections is decent, have been told. But showing you why those connections are the answers to the questions you haven’t been asking is the bit where Avanceé’s value to you is most unlocked. We can do the part of discovering that together, or you can take a chance with a future state that catches those unaware. Continue reading →
