It seems like that and the 300ish patents. The patents themselves could be worth quite a bit.

It's possible they think the OS and the team that built it could have value if put to better uses than building an AI pin.

We are looking at another gold rush where the US patent office lets you patent absolutely anything

I still remember a few of the previous ones, like ”A mundane everyday thing…on a computer!” and ”The same thing every company has been doing for decades…but over the internet!”

Be mentally prepared for a few decades of stifled innovation, as every perfectly-ordinary-thing-but-with-ai patent is suppressing the market

I mean, if you look at Imran Chaudhri's personal homepage (http://www.imranchaudhri.com) I think you'll get a sense of how valuable those patents might be.
