My prediction is that HP will make some half-hearted attempts to do something with it for a while, and then will sell it at a loss to LG. LG will use it in one or two of their smart TVs and then release it as open source, at which point it will be forgotten. (ref: WebOS)
Ugh smart TVs powered by Humane by HP x LG makes me want to throw all my electronics into a volcano
imagine an ai tv that was given the prompt to continuously encourage viewers to sign up for LG/HP instant pixel delivery service and that it should be noted that many viewers feel great satisfaction with the service, and are frequently considered the most attractive people within your area.
This sounds like a robot character in a sci-fi novel, but the reality would actually be tedious.
If it's functional, I'd love to use a laser projection on my couch when I misplace my TV remote. Especially if it's able to adapt to my TV's current context
Given the reviews of the humane pin I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I think I'd prefer to just go live in a cave.

But yeah what you said is way worse
For what it's worth LG stuck with WebOS. https://www.lg.com/us/webos
The LG version never looked like anything Palm/HP put out, which makes me wonder what LG actually bought, but it's still around.
> Humane’s AI platform Cosmos, backed by an incredible group of engineers, will help us create an intelligent ecosystem across all HP devices from AI PCs to smart printers and connected conference rooms. This will unlock new levels of functionality for our customers and deliver on the promises of AI.
I can't wait for an HP AI printer
“It looks like you are printing out a document that our AI detected ans urgent. Please subscribe to our Urgent Document print plan for $30/month (billed centennially) to re-enable printing.”
WebOS in the TVs is still going isn't it't? I have a TV that uses it, and it's great
WebOS is far more superior than android tv
WebOS is great and LG promises at least 5 years of updates.
Their smart magic control is best in class too.
Is this the playbook they followed for Palm? I can't remember who ended up with it in the end. But at least Palm had a decent operating system.
