An ignorant rabbit r1 unboxing 

Tells people not to buy the product but tells them to buy an accessory for said product. Noice. Edit: oh look at that, they edited their comment to now including "anything but".

​@@yupimrandy it says for everything except the r1

For “anything but the Rabbit R1” Learn how to comprehend what’s in front of you.

​@@yupimrandy Learn how to read first

@@shortyplayz3995 learn to read where it says that they edited their message to say that, which is after I posted my comment.

yeah no-one says the contrary

Me seeing this comment before even watching the video … 😮

Hey it was my turn to make that comment!

No ppl on twitter were saying the contrary unfortunately...​@godwill9965

​@@markman828He was the first one to comment it...

I don't know what you're talking about, it clearly wasn't a mousepad. Just one of those decorative walls you place on your desk for safe keeping.

I want the AI personality of Brock from Pokemon. So when I show it a onigiri it can tell me it's a jelly donut.

Classic AI, confidently claiming 1+1=3

@@onslaught147 We're not sure what it is, but one thing is certain - there is no mouse or bed there 😂😂😂

wait this isn't some weird tamagochi

The perfect way to make your friends go down a Rabbit hole. This is not Teenage Design, but designed by teenagers. lol

“Reciting the script now.” Crashes

I believe he had to press and hold the side button to make it stop. Could be wrong idk

Which for the battery life it has, would be a death sentence. 😂

It's right, it's a deskpad.

This in neither bad or a mouse

You showed it a design pattern and you expect it to say it's a mousepad,

Any idea what does the perplexity ai does on it, chatgpt is pretty clear but don't know that one yet

@@Arctic_silverstreak It's one of those "AI search engines", it's used for real time web search

Lmao

@@Arctic_silverstreakperplexity handles things like image search, asking questions etc

I thought they somehow managed to fit one of them new AI chips inside. Guess it's literally just another data-chugging online app

I would buy one. Put a rabbit on it too lol

Ce n’est pas une mousepad…

​@@chrislawuk Deskpad*

It's a Flatclicker

YES

Considering the R1 product is ass, D Brand being a proctologist sounds about right.

Wow, that's.... more AI than the flekin' Rabbit R1! DBrand skins are proctors now? Can they mark my homework for me? Or do they just report me for cheating? I need to know.

*a wild noki appears*

Time stamp guy?!

Timestamp guy found in the wild!

This is the stuff I can't figure out why AI is so bad at. Why does it fight with you? I am literally telling it what it is looking at, and it can't figure it out. All it had to do is Google Reverse Image search the mousepad and it would find the answer, but instead it insisted on arguing with the user that THEY were wrong about what they were seeing. AI isn't meant to be something that fights with you, ignores your questions, and does random shit you don't want it to, it's meant to do what you tell it to, and that's it. Currently every AI model loves to just argue instead of doing that.

@@tbuk8350 It feels like you expect AI to be a mindless robot. Robots are meant to do what you tell them to. AI is meant to "simulate thought" or "simulate intelligence" - Intelligence isn't always going to be just subservient, it's going to tell you when it thinks you are wrong. Without that it wouldn't be intelligent it would just be a robot given orders. Not saying current AI and such is or isn't good, just saying AI isn't "meant to do what you tell it to, and that's it."

No, what you have is something stellar in comparison. That thing is capable of making someone go Hulk mode.

But this one's different!... Because it has a wheel thing on the side of the screen!

actually, i want it on my smartwatch.

@@WolfTamer sold! Take my money good sir! 😜

I understand their desire to run their own Android OS. As a developer, I know how frustrating lockouts from phones can be, not just on iOS but also on Android. Android used to easily allow background processes, but not anymore-this applies to GPS, microphone access, etc. I agree that stock Android needs these security features, but what they are attempting requires low-level access, which is becoming increasingly difficult for apps. Additionally, it's concerning that there's little discussion about the implications of logging into all accounts and a virtual machine executing requests in your name. This situation is reminiscent of the OnePlus iMessage debacle.

Mee! Haha

I forgot the LTT existed at some point. Can't even remember why I wasn't subscribed.

I am 😂🤣😂

Me!

Haha that’s me

Seriously!!! Has nobody that worked on this thing never used a dial knob? Because good lord that should have been one of the first of many problems solved with this thing.

@@sturdybutter teengeneering track record is full of shiny looking, but functionally inept stuff, it's nothing new tbh

What’s even crazier is them disabling the touchscreen except for when you are typing. It is an objectively superior interface for their UI unless maybe your hands are wet or something.

​@@MaxRovensky their MPCs are pretty good, although expensive. Not sure about other stuff, but OP-1 and PO boards were very much functional.

​@@MaxRovensky This makes the iPhone look utilitarian

I wonder if it would call Asmongold BOLD 😂

@@gtamike_TSGK Asmonbold

It will call it a tool.

@@boy638 will say that if you point it towards the user too for buying it

Recognize as a threat to it?😅

Good to see you here mate

Bing chat/co pilot told me it was a stanley ratcheting screw driver

Nah, they all do it. Most/all are incapable of just saying they don't know and will confidently just make shit up. You can't even trust them to accurately calculate anything but the most basic linear math.

Its the 1 thing they are good at

Have you ever actually asked an LLM a question? It's pretty common.

@@detaartusually if you tell an AI what something is and then ask a question about it, it’ll at least try to bullshit an answer.

... No it's not. It's like the most predictable thing about AI

laughs in self checkout

My thoughts exactly. Maybe I'm just used to doing things on my own, or the AI revolution isn't quite there yet. It feels so slow and clunky, like I'm trying to hold a conversation with a toddler

Hi! Please chat to our customer service bot! We made it really intrusive so you could save time with it! It can't do anything but we care about you!

And yet AI is an enormous time saver when you work with it like if you a knowledge worker or a programmer. That has been the case for years now

you have to try out some more A.I. stuff. It's obviously not perfect but if you've played around with it it's quite useful. I made a whole song all with A.I. and it's pretty good. used chat GPT for some lyrics and suno for the music generation. I also used chat GPT to make instagram posts for where I work so I didn't have to think. Much quicker. Two Minute Papers on RU-vid is good, he makes videos showing new tech/A.I. in a way that makes you see the good potential. We are getting close. try chatting with chat GPT. I bet you'll see some good results if you can find a use.

The Venn diagram of cryptobros and aibros is a circle

yep also watched that video on RU-vid where they were called out. I don't trust them

this is just the worst version of ai

I remember mid 2000s useless fads. Like the Fushigi ball. Literally just a glass ball, and you pretend that it levitated in your hands.

A lot of people already knew this, the moment he showed his face at CES..

Yeah I didn't either

Does failing means one can’t or shouldn’t try again? Well, okay then.

@@nyehu09It does mean that you should be transparent about your previous project being abandoned, instead of what he actually did, which was going radio silent, deleting the company's social media account, and trying to erase evidence of his involvement. Tell me you didn't read the Ed Zitron report without telling me.

@@nyehu09 No, scammers can scam again. But innocent people should know they’re scammers and have an option to act accordingly.

Because you can’t sell an app for $200…

@@davismorganmusic Say that to companies that charge $200 a year for any service. Or $10-$20 per month.

Ironically, it would probably be better as an app, because then it could lean on the hardware and OS to perform better. No need to custom designing a UI that doesn't even function. That's built in. No need for having to implement opening a camera (and failing at it). That's just an API call. Network configuration is already handled. In fact, I didn't even think about it, but this thing doesn't have a cellular radio in it, does it? My phone is instantly more convenient then, because it's always connected. I was never sold by this thing, even as a concept. Why would I want yet another device to carry, that doesn't do anything the phone I already carry can't?

​@@chrisdprattit does have a cellular network, but it makes it even dumber, for you can't tether it to your phone like a smartwatch, so you have to pay for two data plans lol

I could see this being sold at the now defunct Toys R' Us for 3-6 years olds before their first smartphone.... but that's about it. lol

Wait until you see what JerryRigEverything is doing to it.

i think the r1 doesnt support discord but the vm thing is accurate for the services they do support

@@drizmans they support logging in with Discord for one of the services AFAIK.

@@XeZrunner Probably Midjourney, since that's based in Discord (typically)?

not even useful for helen keller

They only exist because a couple companies bet on Apple and Google not getting AI to work on their phones for a while but they were wrong and panic-launched the devices before they were ready, and the result is this. It's expected both Android and iOS will get more or less all of these AI features this year, which will be the final nail in the coffin of the rabbit r1 etc

These devices are way ahead of their time. They need half a decade of dedicated development, testing, and production improvements before releasing it to the general public. Like Linus said, money is impatient, and whoever invested in this product wants their payout. It's possible the money and developers are the same stakeholder, meaning it was just a bad decision full-stop. It's possible the developers and designers told the investors it wasn't ready, but they were forced to "finish" it and now we're seeing products like this release, unfinished, and only "working" with a couple apps or functions. Now I guarantee you whatever investors were involved are blaming the developers for the shotty product. Like you said the VR devices in the 80s, they were way ahead of their time. There wasn't enough need, hardware, or room for them in the era. However, today VR headsets are making ground. I don't personally have one, but I know several people with them. Multiple companies have different versions, and what I'm also seeing is it's not 50+ of similar VR headsets, but a dozen or so (popular) with mild or major differences that determine their use case. Some are for gaming, some for professional work, and others for communication. Inside of that category, there are ones with a focus on performance but they may be heavier and tethered to a PC, while others are smaller and more portable, while having to worry about a battery and performance issues. In 10+ years I could see something similar here, but again with the current acceptance of the smartphone I don't think these will ever really take off. Everything this can do my phone already can, and often much better, and sometimes for a similar cost with a greater social acceptance factor. If I am standing in public and ask my Google assistant for something, no one really bats an eye. If I pull this out, or have the Humane pin everyone is going to be looking strangely, or at least asking what it is and making it awkward when they realize their phone can do the same things. I think VR got a grasp on an industry because it was a new thing - nothing could really replace it. Even with a phone in one of those cardboard things, you can't *really* get the same affect, especially with inside-out tracking today. But these devices just aren't going to work except for people who don't want a cell phone. The problem is, most people who don't want a smart phone make that choice for privacy or security reasons, which means they definitely won't be looking at this device.

VR 80th never made it to the market due to weak and infancy processing power at the time. Today's VR is really good which I highly recommend every single person to try or buy the cheap one like Quest 3. Quest 2 is good but it has major problems like limited ipd adjustment which is fixed in the later Quest

Love the comparison

You hit the nail in the head. They know that once the Googles and Apples of the world truly integrate their own AI models to their devices and OSs, these will be useless

Rabbit is, no joke, a rebranded Crypto NFT game scam company. This isn’t hyperbole, I mean this quite literally. When that venture started to collapse, they renamed the Company to Rabbit and moved on to AI stuff. It could have been an App, but then in the CEOs own words (Paraphrased) it wouldn’t get the attention, also basically insinuated that Google and Apple would steal all their super special code.

And they're already too late. If I wanted an AI voice assistant thats functionally useless, I have Gemini

The rabbit money hole?

I guess he has read the comments from the WAN Show, it's nice to see it used as a self-deprecating joke.

​@@benwu7980Linus has acknowledged multiple times over the past couple years that he definitely needs to learn how to be quiet sometimes, this joke is nothing new

To be fair, it's more of a desk pad. Computers are pedantic, and Ai is just a computer.

It was right, its a flat clicker.

I wonder if that was their first thought and they had trouble finding investors for another app VS "a totally new device"

It is an app - kinda. The R1 is just running around with an app lol.

Even as an app this would be underwhelming, it's just ChatGPT and Perplexity AI in a box. You can do everything and a lot more with your phone. This was a classic case of overmarketing and underdelivering, we will forget this even existed a year or two from now.

If it was an app then it would have been a horrible app with nothing new or special than any other app already did.

It literally is an app

It's certainly 360° on one axis!

AI is overhyped and deceiving tech ever. Of course every product market something ai is always gonna end up as scummy and scamming

Who is Mark?

I think he mean Marq (as in Marques Brownlee)

Who's Mark?

Oh hai, Mark

He didn't kill it. He buried it.

He is getting a skincare routine to keep his skin from looking old, so he shaved And he's painting his motorcycle and has to wear a mask for that and wants it to fit well. Source: The Yard podcast where he was on recently

@@Ikxi I mean he's also old enough now where even being clean shaven he doesn't look 20

Especially when it turns out they are literally a rebranded Crypto NFT game scam company, it is actually the same company, they literally just renamed them selfs to Rabbit when they saw their next scam project!

and yet it doesnt use gas at all to light things up.

speakers on the back so its talking away from you

A lot of the Short Circuit videos have had this audio issue recently. There's a lot of weird dynamic compression which results in almost a warbling artifact. Very distracting.

It's even worse on Floatplane (probably because it has higher audio quality so the issue is more noticeable)

i love the op1 too its a genius bit of engineering - i do wish it was a bit cheaper tho. 800-1000 would be much more palatable considering it basically has no competition

Insanity later

It's going to be very hard to replace or compliment modern cell phones.

Half baked? Seems like that thing is still in the freezer

it would be good if it were half-baked. From all the reviews I've seen, it barely makes it as far as the oven!

Did you type this comment on your smartphone…cause you already have a device that can improve accessibility.

​@@JSerio1983While cell phones do have excellent accessibility features, I'm of the adage that more options is better. No one accessibility solution will suit everyone, and not every smartphone will support the same features, which is why the concept of a device to act as an intermediary between a user and their phone holds appeal. The Rabbit R1 is just utterly awful at it. lol

That person contributed to the box the rabbit came in. It’s the exact same feel as a cassette case.

Teenage engineering is a company not actually teenagers

Well, cassettes are now actually that "somewhat cool retro tech" that most people know about but don't necessarily use. They also make appearance in popular media.

100% that's intentional he was so done already

It had the same vibe of Steve Jobs in that ancient Apple ad talking about how you can run Windows programs beside some useful applications on the new mac.

that cause it was designed to be like that. its a nice touch tbh

@@SectorPi it looks pretty good

Finally, an actual review of these AI units without the fancy editing. Thank you!

You're weird in all videos.
