If you aren't making content people like now, a new camera isn't going to help make it better. You don't want it to become a wasted investment. I admire the enthusiasm, but you should try working with what you have instead of believing you "need" something to get big. I've felt the same thing myself, but it isnt really whats stopping you. It's a tough world in content creation either way. Find a niche and do with what you can.

Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 feel like two varients of a gadget that existed 5-10 years before the first smartphone and later became obsolete when ios and android developed apps to do their thing. I can almost see them existing in that alternate history, in the past. Almost, because of the abysmal battery life. And since mobile phones spoiled us into always keeping devices on, I can imagine a daily user of one of these things using them back in the day. They'd just whip this thing out, switch it on, use it, and immediately switch it off after use. The switching on and off functions have to be quick like a digital camera or a laser measure. The fact that the infrastructure made to support mobile phones are what powering these things is really not helping my imagination.

The executives at Rabbit and Humane all know their products are dogshit, but can't say anything or they'll be sued.

$200 is outrageous. I just got a Samsung Tab A9+ (a twelve incher) for $220 and its absolutely brilliant.

And if i want to use more sophisticated AI tools, i can run Parsec to remotely control my home desktop PC (and its local AI models, for image generation or text prompting). And yes, "large action models" can exist locally on your own pc with very very little Pyton knowlede (two hours of tutorials and you can set up your own environment with multiple AI agents collaborating to solve tasks). I can even, in this way, use my tablet to remotely edit videos in Davinci Resolve. Oh but i need an internet connection to do that? Yes, and the R1 needs a connection to the cloud as well..

I am old so I have a story… I remember when PC’s needed to have a ROM (read only memory) chip shipped to you to remediate a defect in its BIOS (Basic I/O System). It happened but was really rare and BIOS code was well written and solid because it was expensive to fix. Then in the 1990’s, the ability to flash BIOS updates was released. I immediately predicted the tendency of manufacturers to increasingly release poorer code because it “can be fixed later”. And we’ve been living with that mentality and its trend towards increasingly poorer product code ever since. *It can be fixed later!*

Moral of the story: Don't be an early adopter.

[@arifhossain9751]

This kind of thinking has permeated every aspect of modern life. Most hardware undergoes planned obsolescence. Video games do this so often that gamers call this the "Day One Patch" syndrome. Don't get me started on smartphones.

I love that someone as influential as Marques has the courage to say honest things about these tech products rather than just saying the words that generate more business opportunities. It's brave and it helps keep people from blindly buying into the marketing hype and speniding hard-earned money on things we don't need. I support this kind of reviews 100%!

[@elcar5468]

[@ciroelim]

Someone managed to leak the APK for this. Basically just an app running on an android device.... something you could download and install on a phone which does the same thing and not have to spend 200 on a device that overheats and is bulky

1:15 I asked (or rather, played back Marques asking) the same moon question to Siri on a 2014 iPad and it answered (correctly) in under 3 seconds, way faster than the 2024 Rabbit 🤷🏻‍♂

[@eando97]

Same from Google Assistant on a 2017 Pixel. Had to dust it off just to be able to add to the list of things that can outpace the Rabbit

[@CarolinaCycloneJames]

My iPhone 5C from 2013 on 12MBs WiFi was faster than the rabbit. Let me put a little more perspective to it. A phone that is 11 years old. With a 12 year old chip. On WiFi that has 2011 speeds was faster than a new product

[@lucass8119]

Well yeah, search engines are tried and tested algorithms. AI inference takes an absurd amount of compute time, and its not even accurate because its not searching anything. These are advanced text predictors that burn electricity. As soon as the industry understand their nature the grifting will die down. AI has its place and can be amazing, but for "facts" its less than worthless. That's what search engines are for.

[@giovani5586]

You don't even need to ask, just point Google lens to it, it's like 1 second. ( It also recognized the rabbit in 1 second before I zoomed the plant )

[@MrTsolar]

@@CarolinaCycloneJames The phone has nothing to do with Siri. It's all processed by the same servers whether it's an iPhone 5 or 15. Siri also has a much smaller data index to search.

[@myclamish]

Saaame... At first when he was describing the controls I was thinking "I guess they didn't implement touch to save on costs or something" but then no, they just chose not to use an entire mode of input

[@404maxnotfound]

well the answer is pretty simple, if the touch screen was more obvious investors would compare it to a phone, then they probably would less willing to invest because a phone isn't new but this AI device with a scroll wheel well that's "new". Both this and humane were devices that were not made to be good products but rather just products made to trap investors into giving a mountain of cash.

[@daz9882]

It's just a gimmick `unique idea` for cash grab, from both consumers and `AI` investors.

[@joshs.5384]

That's Teenage Engineering. They're notorious for "reinventing" things. Look up their "Field Desk." It's a $1,600 desk made out of aluminum and plywood. They have a thoroughly established reputation in the music production community for selling things that cost 10x what their competitors charge.

[@turolretar]

And they’re going to change the world? What a sick joke!

[@drewmur]

The big question that none of these "AI assistant" product answer is "why should I buy this, when I own a smartphone?" Both this and the AI pin, are just things that do some of what my smart phone does and does that stuff poorly.

[@devnol]

Looking at the folded up z flip on your desk, this is EXACTLY what this reminds me of. Someone could achieve quite literally the exact same functionality but better if they just made it an app for the cover screen of the z flip, having the onboard processor, great camera and proper battery life.

[@juliet4093]

Except making an app for a specific niche phone isn’t a good business idea either

[@WallJumpGaming]

​@@juliet4093yeah, that's why the apple vision goggles thing isn't getting too much attention from devs

[@diidac17]

These guys want to make the maximum profit of this Tool (I am not calling it AI because AI does not exist). If you make an app of it, you cannot charge the amount of money they charge for this.

[@JWooden271]

I could see Samsung making Bixby able to do a lot of the tasks Rabbit can do. Leave the Z Flip closed, press a button and ask Bixby to do stuff. Many Android apps support accessibility features, which would enable Bixby to execute "macros".

Actually that might be genius. If you run the crawler with ads then it could potentially learn what to avoid. Running it with an ad blocker so it never learns what to avoid could backfire badly the moment an ad slips through the net.
