[@YouLose]

I knew that any "AI" devices would be total scams seeing how AI still is half-baked. Until AI is consistent and reliable, then there is no way I would spend money on any of these devices. We all saw the demo and people already started mentioning all the red flags. We need to ask why silicon valley has moved to copy the corporate game dev community where they release unfinished products and expect consumers to lap it up?

[@matthewdekker6064]

I think Dave is probably right in saying that these companies needed to release the devices early once they heard that Google and Apple are releasing their own AI programs soon. I bet at the start of these projects, the creators had high hopes for what could really be done on these devices, but after plenty of tinkering, etc., they've gotten them to the state they're currently in, which isn't great, but now they've already spent so much money on their development that if they wait to release them until after Google and Apple release theirs, they're just not going to end up making any money. So they released them in this unfinished state because it was basically the only way they could possibly make some money back on the project - and still probably won't be profitable, but it's better than just wasting 100% of it. And maybe they totally plan on continuing to work on things, so the devices will get better and better, but they needed to show them off now to get some interest from people before Google/Apple enter the fray. If they waited, interest would probably be near 0 because these devices can't do what Google/Apple's AI can probably do from within your actual phone. At least, not yet.

[@DanKaschel]

I don't think this is quite true. In my opinion, a good AI pin is possible right now, but it would take enormous expertise and expense to develop for a market that hasn't been proven. These guys have just tried to glue together existing solutions and call it a product -- and you're right, the AI market is not mature enough for that yet.

[@supitschillbro]

you’re just so wrong it gave me a stroke

[@donaldnewell4868]

It’s a weird trajectory these AI gadget guys are on. The phone has subsumed GPS, camera, watches and mp3 devices, among others. The natural gravity of doing things on the device you’re always carrying is pretty strong. You have to invent/find a use case that really shines as a standalone gadget. Rabbit and Humane are simply not in that category. Both are apps pretending to be devices.

You are on to the reason that the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI Pin exist. Which is that the most useful way for a personal AI to work is if the AI has control of your data and does things on your behalf. This will not be allowed by an app on your phone (unless it is from the manufacturer). We are just now getting to the point where you can run a quantized LLM locally and allow it to be the OS.

That scroll would be perfect for a game or something. It’s also weird I can connect to Uber but not Uber eats and I have to use door dash. I tried the Uber and it freaked me out cus it doesn’t display anything.

9:03 You can get an AI LLM baked into your phone. Android allows you to change your voice assistant from Google Assistant to Gemini. It can access your data just like Google Assistant did. Or, you can get the Gemini app on Android or through the Google app on iOS/iPadOS ; not sure if they can access your data though.

Now you know how us gamers feel about every AAA preorder games with day 1 DLC felt like~

Its the Juicero equivalent of smart phones.

7:00 The funny thing about having AI features from the manufacturers is that we already have many features with voice & text prompts. Then they would just need our authorization to charge to a card on file. I know people who don't even want to use current features. Now with trying to lead the industry, will this lead to forced errors from Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others?

They should make a smart watch out of this product

I've been having this conversation over and over. The arguments you get for the Humane and the Rabbit are always along the lines of "Nah, the smartphone is not the end of development in this space. This is something new." Only, it isn't of course. The design is a step backwards and cashing in on hype and FOMO among tech-bros has been done by many startups before.

Remember how shit the first iphone was? Nothing on the app store etc. Yeah it'll be no iphone but still has potential especially for people trying to get away from their phones.

This reminds me of Digivice or Tamagotchi. Especially when Dave shakes it, it has a little bouncy rabbit on the screen too 🐇

[@corbi7703]

I kinda love the „rabbitphone“ design🤩🤣

[@RowanWilde]

You nailed it when you said 'this should be an app'. Connecting that comment to Google and Apple's control, they probably see it the same way too. Yeah G+A might make a pin or whatever but there's more value embedding an enriched assistant into existing devices and existing software than having to carry secondary or tertiary devices around. There's literally nothing in the Rabbit or the Humane AI pin that makes me think anything other than 'yeah but that's what a phone does now / is for'.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:02 *🤖 Rabbit R1 device overview* - Rabbit R1 is an underbaked hardware AI assistant lacking promised features - Features like screen, speaker, and camera are mediocre, with a unique motorized camera action - Frustrations with using the scroll wheel for navigation exclusively due to lack of touch screen access 05:36 *🧠 Reviewer concerns and product readiness* - Devices like Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin are sent to reviewers in a raw and underbaked state - Battery life issues and missing functionalities raise questions about consumer readiness - Implications of launching hardware AI devices before major tech events like Google IO and Apple WWDC 08:24 *🔮 Future of AI assistants and ecosystem integration* - Limitations of popular AI services like Chat GPT due to lack of integration with phone ecosystems - Speculation on the potential dominance of Google and Apple's integrated AI assistants over third-party services - Discussion on the control Apple and Google have over ecosystem access for AI services Made with HARPA AI

On a more positive note I love that watch - what is it?

[@LBP2Saperoth]

It should be a companion to your phone letting you not use it when you want to not get distracted by notifcations or other apps.

After watching the TV serial "OZARK", I start to understand that whenever you see something very weird, think about money laundry.

[@MoritzFischer]

Thank you for your point of view on this device. Always interesting and a unique perspective.

If there is ever a time I need a review from one of the best reviewers is when a newly released product goes on the market. I hope this will not be a trend as you are one of my top reviewers.
