   The 'pointless' AI hardware boom pulling in VC cash

   A commentary piece surveys a wave of consumer AI hardware startups: founder Tang Zhenyi's Mark II AI bookmark, priced at $159 and reportedly launched on May 15 inside the COLLINS design studio's library in Brooklyn, has supposedly booked hundreds of thousands of dollars in preorders; Shenzhen-based OdyssLife's Odyss N1 AI necklace costs $299 plus a monthly subscription, with the article claiming roughly 200 million yuan raised and delivery planned for late 2026; and BubblePal claims more than 200,000 units sold plus a 200 million yuan Series A. The piece also cites Humane's AI Pin (said to have been sold to HP for $116 million in February 2025), Limitless's recording pendant (said to have been acquired by Meta in December 2025) and Friend, arguing that what these products truly reinvent is the way they charge: old, already-solved needs dressed up as AI, funded by founder storytelling and buyers' sense of identity.
