Humane’s Worrying Reveal, Humane’s Miscalculation, Tesla Follow Up (Daily Update)
We kick things off with Humane’s co-CEO Imran Chaudhri unveiling what the company has been working on in a series of demos during a TED Talk. It’s the first time the buzzy HW startup with dozens of former Apple employees has shown off anything publicly. The discussion then turns to a misclaucation Humane has made. We conclude with some follow-up to our discussion regarding Tesla earnings.
Happy Monday. Welcome to a new week.

Let’s jump into today’s update.
