       So this Rabbit R1 thing strikes me as the worst of all worldsIt’s going to generate proprietary e-waste while fully delegating its AI functions to a cloud service, with a dubious security modelIt seems needlessly wasteful, even as it’s clear someone is going to sell exactly these functions, somedayhttps://www.theverge.com/2024/1/9/24030667/rabbit-r1-ai-action-model-price-release-date

       @danilo Yeah, agreed — I can’t actually figure out why the hardware exists, based on that writeup!The idea that they’ve trained a model specifically tuned to help you automate tasks in software (ie photoshop) sounds … viable? But why in heck would you need stand-alone hardware for that Plus all the cloud hazards you noted

       Good lord.Here’s another one. It’s an “#AI voice recorder” that’s just… sending your shit to OpenAI againYou don’t need dedicated hardware for this! Where are people getting the VC to make all this junk?It’s hardware with an app that uploads to the cloud. The phone already has hardware that can do this. CES is going to give me an ulcer this year. https://www.plaud.ai

       @clive it’s exactly ass-around to meI think the strategy would be to pour every resource into an EXTRAORDINARY app that successfully does these things, get people really invested in it, and THEN drop hardware that is perfectly tailored to the needs of those usersbut no one asked me
