Emerging consumer technology products like the Humane AI Pin offer real-time translation capabilities between spoken languages, but none of these new devices provide support for sign language. Consider this: if a technology has the capability to “see” with a camera, “talk” with a speaker, “listen” with a microphone, “write” on a canvas, and most importantly, “think” like a human… then why can’t it support interpreting & vocalizing sign language?

I suspect that we're living in the some of the last moments of human history where people are primary party responsible for designing technology. Now, amidst the rapid development of increasingly powerful AI systems, it’s unclear how much longer people will be the driving force of technological innovation. At some point, the humans will be served by the machines, and the machines will build themselves. What is the point of technology if not to make our lives better? To help stay more connected and encourage us to be more present with each other. “LANGUAGE” is a physical reminder that technology is ultimately meant to boost human flourishing.
In addition, this limited-edition tee gives the owner a voucher to purchase the first edition of “SLING” at a discount when it launches. As a reminder, "SLING" is a utility vest designed to improve the usability of the Humane AI Pin (see here: https://x.com/seanxthielen/status/1848450706891804926?s=46). The first edition will have a supply of 25 units. Each unit will feature custom embroidery and will include a colorful pair of winter gloves.
