A tiny smartphone-esque device you navigate with your voice and a projected interface on your hand isn’t in fact the biggest idea Humane is introducing with the Ai Pin. It’s a future without apps.

The Ai Pin, as a device primarily built around interacting with artificial intelligence, doesn’t use discrete applications at all. It instead directs spoken requests through an AI model or third-party service that has what you need via something Humane calls the “Ai Bus.”

I think it’s easy to agree that the multitude of attention-grabbing, time-wasting, mood-ruining apps we have on our phones is a cause for concern, but ditching them for something entirely hands-off? That introduces other kinds of problems that could make justifying the already niche Ai Pin even harder.

John Roesch owns over 150 pairs of shoes.

“Not quite as many as the former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, but I did my best,” Roesch jokes to Inverse. “It’s not always easy to find heels in my size, though.”

But Roesch, a veteran Foley artist, doesn’t need to walk far in those heels. His job requires him to create live sound effects that are synchronized with moving images — everything from footsteps, to floor creaks, to the blast of a gun shot, or the whistling of the wind are made by Foley artists. It’s an invisible art form, and one that Roesch has been contributing to for 44 years.

But after more than four decades creating the sounds that we take for granted, Roesch is hanging up the heels with his final job on David Fincher’s The Killer. It’s a career capper for Roesch, who calls his final Foley job for Skywalker Sound “bittersweet.”
