Hi,
What do you think about the Rabbit R1? Do you think it's going to be really useful, and maybe replace smartphones in the future? Or is it just a luxury item for wealthy people who don't care about the money they're going to spend on a travel experience crafted by an AI?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.)

I've loosely heard about it. What interested me was how it is going to interface with application. Apparently it can learn its way in an app and automate whatever you need it to automate. It's doing a bit more than what your usual commercial personal assistant would do.
I wish OP would specify what it is, though.

Eh I personally like it (bonus points for a cool mascot) but it’s a bit clunky-looking. Otherwise, the concept is a good utilization of AI but it likely won’t catch on in the mainstream. Most people with their Apple phones aren’t interested in a “device that does everything you could ever want it to”. They just want to continue having a regular phone.
Also, speaking of which, the Rabbit R1 team has explicitly said it’s “not a replacement for a phone”. Then why should I be buying it? Why would someone desire to spend 200 bucks on something that’s just a cool gadget/personal assistant, when they probably already have a phone? I think their marketing team has failed with that one. I can’t think of more than a few applications for it personally.
Unfortunately it seems like it’ll just fade into obscurity given enough time. Very cool idea but there’s not a real big niche it fills imo.. Only people I’ve seen excited over it so far are techbros; not a bad thing, but unless you get a wider part of society invested in it.. I think it’s very likely to fizzle out. It’s just ill-fated end that every Flavor of the Month in the tech world, is destined for.

it's yet another venture capital californian startup funded by amazon that will probably sell everything in five years or so so big pass, also 200$ for basically character.ai inside what looks like those toy phones for children
or maybe they will target bo**ers because they are probably the only target in the first world that hasn't used an AI yet. just theories.

It looks looks like yet another crypt- I mean "AI" grift. AI is the new crypto and venture capitalists are going all in in hopes of this being the next iPhone. Also really suspicious how the technical details of the OS, UI, and UX are extremely vague and near non existent.
Do you really think this magical new device from a non existent startup could even locally run a LLM and LAM as well as it's promoted?

Is it an AI drven voice assistant? Now instead of being a simple app it's a $200 brick? Must be a technological revolution.
J.C. Denton · 2024-01-27 03:55
AI assistants might be AI's killer application. Unfortunately, this one doesn't look like it will be it. It probably doesn't even have enough power to run the models and requires a permanent connection to the [[[cloud]]].

A gimmick counting on a fad. It just uses a cloud for computing. Come back to me when there is something local and open source. I generally don't like the concept of computing by vocal interaction because it's not privacy friendly even in the physical world. You know how in public everyone is on their phone? Now imagine everyone using something like this just blabbing away everything they are doing.

It's vaporware.
My body was too short or too empty
Yet my thoughts were simply too lean
So I wrote some text
To fill out the rest
But what could it possibly mean?

yes just like this device

what could they maybe mean
these words upon my screen
so much to read
when one line was plainly plenty

Get back to me when the AI assistant brain chips drop. I want to receive the new programming updates directly from the cloud into my brain.
I recently rewatched the 1970's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is actually a pretty good movie. I imagine the future could look very much like that. It already does a bit. According to the predictive programming this spreads out from San Francisco. Checks out.

why does this need to be a separate device instead of a smartphone app?

I want to scan some object, like a monument, and have info displayed about it. Wonder if it can do it.
I want it to alert me when there is a new youtube video of someone I know
I want it to alert me when there is a new google review on my page.
I want it to generate an image and send it to my telegram

No thank you.

What's so special about it that you can't do in an ordinary software?
Yamaoto Toshi · 2024-04-18 17:13
it seems like it's really similar to that ai pin thingy but with more of a focus on practicality. it's also way cheaper. still, it's a really gimmicky product that can't really do anything that your phone can't.

Inb4 AI currency becomes a thing. It will adjust it's values based on what the AI says it should be.

A standalone offline device would be great, but may not be technically feasible.
A device that requires an internet connection to process everything in the cloud... what exactly is the advantage of this over a cell phone app?

I think the intent is that something baked into the OS would be less prone to errors an app would make while in theory being faster and have no issue with compatibility. Of course nothing stops this from being adopted into a phone form but being separate from a phone it does provide compartmentalization of data on you.

According to a HackerNews poster, the unit itself doesn't seem to be anything special:
> ...I figured out it's gonna be some crummy little Mediatek thing underneath the skin (and it is) running some form of Android (and it is) so I'm just sitting back to hack it back to be a real communicator ;)
> EDIT: It's an MT6765 (Helios P35). It's got a known BootROM exploit. Won't be long until someone dumps it and cracks it open, though would be hilarious if a part2/part3 dump is just a factory stock ROM.

I heard it's really clunky and hallucinates often. I dont see why someone would grab that when they can just use siri or google assist. Only benefit ig would be it not being tied to a google or apple account but still has a sim card so :/
