Image: Humane Humane, which makes the not-great AI Pin, wants other companies to build AI devices and gadgets that use its CosmOS operating system, and it has released a video that appears to show that the company already has it working in a car, TV, smart speaker, and phone. But note that the video, according to Humane’s own fine print, is for “illustrative purposes only” — it shows “working prototypes” and some “simulated experiences,” and the print says that all “designs, features, and specifications” are subject to change. So don’t take it entirely at face value. In one example, the video shows a person talking to CosmOS in their car (with a blurred out logo on the steering wheel) to turn the heat up at their house and figure out what time people are coming over. They ask their (blurred out) smart speaker about a guacamole recipe, and their TV about how many goals a soccer player onscreen has scored. The video also shows CosmOS reading an email on the person’s phone and responding to a question about whether the person can attend a meeting. If you’ve been following recent AI hype, especially around agents, none of these examples should feel particularly novel — Humane wants to demonstrate that CosmOS is capable of powerful agent-like capabilities, and for companies to consider it as a possible backbone for their devices. But the items in this video aren’t Humane’s own products, and Humane clearly isn’t promising to make them. It’s building an SDK for others to do so. That CosmOS SDK isn’t available publicly yet — the company’s website only says that it’s “coming soon,” though you can click a button to “sign up to build with us,” which takes you to a form to fill out. Humane doesn’t mention any partners building devices that rely on CosmOS — the blurred-out logos on the car and smart speaker suggest the company may have not gotten that far yet. We’ve asked Humane if it can share any examples. Humane may be looking for a new line of business after the AI Pin flopped; we reported in August that daily returns of the device were outpacing sales. The product initially launched in April, but the company dropped the price of the Pin just six months later. Earlier this year, Humane was reportedly looking for a buyer, with HP at one point being a contender.

If you notice your Verizon bill is just a bit higher next month, you're not alone. As pointed out on Reddit this week (via Android Police), Verizon is raising the price of its “Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge” by 20 cents for every line, which you'll see reflected on your monthly bill. This comes just two years after the mobile carrier increased the price of the administrative charge by a whopping $1.35 per voice line. The Verge received this response from Verizon spokesperson George Koroneos after reaching out to the carrier about the heightened fee: “Starting December 18, the monthly Verizon wireless Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge will increase by $0.20 per line for mobile voice (basic phones, Second Number, smartphones, etc.) and data-only (hotspots, tablets, etc.) products," he said. "Verizon Home Internet services are not affected.” As a result of the hike, Verizon's Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge is now set at $3.50 per voice line and $1.60 per data line. According to Verizon, the hidden fee "helps defray and recover certain direct and indirect costs we or our agents incur," such as costs of complying with regulatory and industry obligations and programs, property taxes, and costs associated with its network. As frustrating as the fee is, the fact that the carrier doesn't give its customers any warning ahead of hiking the price of their bills is the worst part. The only way you'll know for sure if you're paying Verizon more is by checking the fine print of your bill every month. It might be worth trying to get some of your money back with this one neat trick.
