In a recent turn of events, a group of ex-Apple employees has managed to secure a stunning $100 million in series C funding to build an innovative device and cloud services platform for Artificial Intelligence. The new start-up, which is called Humane, is hoping to show the world that not only can they beat the competition when it comes to producing high-quality gadgets, but that they can also make it absolutely hysterical while doing so.
The team over at Humane has been working tirelessly to come up with new and creative ideas for their upcoming AI device. Among the ideas being thrown around are a “funny cat” feature which enables the device to project pictures of silly cats on the wall, and a “dad joke” feature which spouts off endless amounts of hilarious-but-terrible jokes.
According to the CEO of Humane, Randy Finklestein, the whole team was ecstatic to hear that they had secured $100 million in funding. “I mean, we were pretty confident that we could make something amazing, but to hear that we had that kind of support from investors? It’s just unbelievable,” said Finklestein.
As for the cloud services platform that Humane plans to build, the company has remained fairly tight-lipped about the specifics. However, rumors have been circulating that the platform will be able to predict what type of pizza you want to order based on your mood.
Despite the seeming lack of focus on more traditional AI applications, investors seem to be pleased with what the Humane team is doing. “I think this is exactly what we need in the world of technology right now,” said investor Harry McCracken. “Who wouldn’t want to have a device that tells them terrible jokes and shows them pictures of cats?”
All in all, it looks like Humane is on the right track to become the next big thing in the world of tech. With their unique perspective and innovative ideas, the company is sure to make waves and leave plenty of laughs in their wake.
