The Rabbit R1 is Here! 

First. (and late) Sorry we're late this week thanks for your patience! We had a horrible time exporting but eventually figured it out. Let the weekend begin!

If the Rabbit ever starts incorporating digital pet features and letting you meet or even fight other Rabbits, I'd be sold instantly.

You know it’s going to be a good time when you’re heading into final trivia with 18 minutes left.

After 10 clicks I landed on the Pencast Ep 68. I think it was just over 1 hour long. I do get older Wan show from time to time though. Thanks for all the great work you guys.

Ellis’s idea about the rabbit being good for children is genuinely brilliant.

It’s not a Friday until the Waveform podcast uploads a new video.

Firstly, I want to say that I really love this podcast! It is definitely the first place to go go when I want to see a review of a product! I'm now referring to the talk regarding the Rabbit R1: I was actually eagerly waiting for this video to come out, and was really curious what you are gonna say about it. I like the way David called it a "beta device", because it is, technically a device with not every feature they promised, at least yet. Though the thing that "I" think you got a little wrong, if I may say, is that you thought of it like similar to a smartphone, which I think is not the case. As I understood from Jessie, is that the R1 is meant to be controlled with voice, and the screen is a plus. The screen is meant to be for seeing if you got something right, use the keyboard if you don't want to use your voice, confirm an action after you said it by voice, etc. I think that if you are gonna treat it like a smartphone and use the screen the whole time, you are right that it is very limited. A big difference that "I" think is worth mentioning, which David did touch on, is the difference between the CEO's of Rabbit and Humane, the CEO of Humane sold you that he is bringing a revolution to the AI industry, and didn't give you much. And almost everything it did give you, is bad. But, on the other hand, Jessie, looked to me very humble, and he is eager to invest all his effort into the R1 to make it good. I can't agree more with Marques, that "you should buy a product for what it is now", but Jessie seemed to me that he's putting in much more effort in his product than Humane. Jessie also started the keynote saying that someone (I think it was said on this podcast) said after the launch of the R1, that if it would have even half the things they said on the launch date, he'd be happy. And I think that they delivered half or more than they said at the launch. In addition, from the reviews I saw, I saw that whatever the Humane AI pin can do that the R1 can, the H1 is doing it much better. I mean, it's faster, gives better results, the Rabbit Vision is much better (I mean when you point your camera to something, and asks what it is, Rabbit gives you better, faster, more accurate responses. Not to mention that the Humane AI Pin, you can point to anything, and it has a wide camera too, so when you ask it what is in front of you, you can't know what it sees.), the voice is less annoying, and plus, it has a screen. Lastly, I really liked the way you concluded the review saying that if one wants a cool, AI, beta toy to play around with, can kinda like it. And again, it does not cost $700 plus a subscription fee. I really can't wait for a full review from Marques!! :D ❤❤❤

Just love David taking time to explain how things work. Such a cool guy. Learnt something

Skipping forward 10 videos just brought me 10 different recent videos of this podcast.

In New Zealand, we call our bagged rotisserie chickens a bachelors handbag.

1:07:00 "Can I pet dat dawg?" Marquez asking the real questions that the R1 is really made for. 😂

WAN show is so accurate, I never play WAN but I always wake up to it

You guys don't understand how much I really appreciate and love these extra long episodes keep these up! I'm not too sure what the watch time is on the longer ones but I really love them!

3:10 I got stuck in a loop between this episode and another one for the first like 7 and then it sent me to a couple other WVFRM episodes. You’re welcome for feeding your engagement.

I can concur that I watch this video to fall asleep and sometimes I do always wake up to the same 4 hour video that David is suggesting !!!

The Rabbit voice sounds so much more natural than every other voice assistant out there. That ElevenLabs partnership is paying off for them!

After 10 skips, I arrived at the WVFRM podcast titled "Our Favorite Productivity Apps!" All 10 were WVFRM podcast episodes boooost engagement :D

10 play next clicks leads me back through more WVFRM podcasts (mostly, one or two LTTs vids in there) and ending on the episode with Hasan Minhaj. Also, I was a bit confused about the R1 and Spotify integration: David mentioned playing Spotify on the R1 shows the same activity with Spotify on your desktop. But that sounds the same as when I control Spotify through my phone and Spotify on my desktop-- there's playback parity between both devices. How is the R1 integration different? That said, great episode once again, folks! Always feels like I'm sitting around, chatting with a group of friends. :D

I’m just listening to / watching this on May 12th, so the Apple iPad event is already behind me (watched it live), as I have not been an ardent fan of this podcast, but better late than never 😊. (RU-vid started playing it as I fell back to sleep this morning 😂.) Anyhow, it’s a long winded way to say that I enjoyed it! lol Thanks guys

Came from Apple Podcasts just to let you guys know that I get extremely excited to see these extra long episodes! And even more excited to see bonus episodes! Love it.

Thank God the Waveform Podcast is here 😂

1:14:58 Thank you David. I was screaming, this is Kickstarter. 😂😂

Funnily enough each video was at least 2 hours long. Which honestly makes sense since I like to listen to a lot of long form content while I’m at work

Something I definitely noticed is if you don't skip ads quickly, they start playing you longer ads.

I was about to fly out to Jersey to check if everything was okay! Been waiting all morning for the podcast to drop! 😅

All long format videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wMavKrA-4do.htmlsi=iaotzwMCyoV_xkOY

Started at this podcast's video (in a new tab), hit next 10 times, ended on "IDLES: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert" video. I LIKE THAT! Full pattern was something like this: * Waveform Podcast * Vergecast * 4x Primeagen videos * 3x Scary Pockets videos * IDLES tiny desk concert The jump from tech videos to music videos is almost certainly the algorithm knowing what I watch to kill time or when I run out of queued videos. EDIT: I have a slight inclination towards take-out rotisserie chickens in a hard shell plastic container rather than a heat-safe plastic bag. Both are fine though.

I love when you guys go off the rails. It's the highlight of my week.

Looking forward to the review of the Rabbit R1!

Finally! It’s already the weekend in the UK! But still have time to watch the waveform 😂😊

I definetly love this podcast!

"The Rivian R2: Are we preordering?" All ten videos were waveform episodes, totally compatible with the 6-7 episodes i "watched" in the last 10 days while driving

Through my 10 skips I got: •A reaction video to the Buffalo bills trading draft picks with Kansas City, because i live in Western NY, •A cluster of Formula 1 videos, •The premier of the newest episode of Taskmaster, •clips from the most recent episode of After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson, including #10 "Rats at Taco Night could have been an email."

I feel like phones have become an all rounder device nowadays that it’s hard to draw a line between the “good” and the “bad” way to use it. I could be on my phone gaming or watching a movie while you could be on your phone working or writing an email. It’s one of the reasons why it’s so hard to reduce the time you spend on your phone. You do so much on it, that it became essential. What I think the R1 tries to do is make you spend less time on your phone by focusing on the productivity side. Take this exemple: you have to find out the answer to a question (this happens more than we acknowledge). You could use your phone, with the possibility of getting distracted by a notification, a news or a social media app or you could use the R1, get the answer and continue with your day. The fact that it’s so driven towards notes, recordings and helping you in an easier and non distracting way is so nice, because it makes it easier to relay in your phone less and so it’s easier to spend less time on it.

I love the mini game everyone plays to get the best transition 😂

Hitting the next button 10 times: all the next videos were other episodes of this podcast, the 10th one was right to repair deep dive

31:00 - Same! Also dope to hear a Hbomb shout out from the producer.

That intro is actually amazing in showcasing a great comparison between how the rabbit as a personal assistant answered the question, and how a human who actually has the proper contextual awareness answers the same question. How should we start the podcast? Rabbit: generic answer Human: knows who WE is. Knows which PODCAST theyre talking about. And gave an answer suggesting SPECIFICALLY How WAVEFORM should start THEIR podcast THAT week. Until the AI assistance can answer with " you should ask the rabbit a question" We still will have a long way to go

Never before have I had my first big laugh of the podcast @00:02 seconds!

I'm surprised they haven’t mentioned it, and I’ve said it before: the Rabbit and Humane pin would be great tech for blind people. Especially the Humane PIN that can analyze the surrounding area.

Perplexity is a measure used in machine learning, particularly in the field of natural language processing (NLP), to evaluate the performance of language models. It quantifies how well a probabilistic model predicts a sample.

Same thing happens to me when falling asleep to RU-vid, I wake up in the middle of the night to the WAN show every time.

for the ipad calculator, i already use an app where I can write equations with the pencil and it solves them. If apple used that as a base and built a kinda wolfram alpha like integration to further explain the equations (and handle more complex ones) I'd say thats a solid ipad calculator implementation. Being able to draw a graph with the pencil and it builds an equation for it would be sick as well too.

I live in Pheonix we saw a herd of Waymo on the high way a few months back being led by a dude in a car up front. It was very interesting and seemed like highway training.

I think one major flaw is the security concern regarding “training” your Rabbit r1 to log into your other web apps. I’m assuming there's a VM that follows the recordings, which would require them to store your credentials in plaintext on their servers. This gives me the same vibes as the Nothing phone, where they were announcing they were bringing iMessage to Android, which would require them to basically have a VM access the user’s entire iCloud account. There is a reason why APIs exist, and trying to go around that usually opens a pandora of issues. Edit: Even if they don’t store credentials in plain text I find it a hard pill to swallow that they basically have full control of my accounts. It will be different if we’re using OAuth, where I can clearly scope the permissions.

I clicked next 10 times and it took me to a 2hr 90's drum and bass mix i listen to weekly. Also, every single video it tooked me to was a drum and bass mix. Basically the longest and most recurrent content i consume here, which are long ass drum and bass/techno mixes and podcasts

The music guy learnt faster than a large action model at 1:04:00, took minutes to figure this strategy of having some reply to indicate that you heard which also allows for some burn time.

My major question with the Rabbit R1 has always been about longevity. Since it's cloud-based how long will the device be operable? What happens in a year if the company is acquired or releases an R2 and they decide they no longer want to provide service to the R1? There's also a concern about the company's ongoing profitability. Namely, since the device doesn't have a subscription then how they do continue to fund the cloud portion? Are they going to sell the Large Action Model as a service to other companies, built on the data we provide by training it? Are they just another Google where they're going to sell our user-data? But otherwise the device does seem neat. I really kind of like the idea of a handheld device that can hold a conversation. My nephew has become enamored with using ChatGPT's conversation feature (which is awesome because if you say "you're talking to a child" it'll tailor its responses accordingly) and every time he sees me he asks to talk to the AI. (Though I admit this poses other issues like whether he should be talking to an AI at all, or the fact his last conversation he was continually telling the AI that he hates it because he wanted to see what it would do.)

I was itching for the episode to drop

Incredible! I press next on the vid and it autoplayed 1hr 3hr 2hr videos and these are channels I put on when going to sleep. Mr. Sunday movies and Andrew Huber man. Fun experiment

after 10 times clicking next it took me to different episodes of the podcast that i haven't watched and landed on The AI Search Wars Have Begun and OnePlus 11 Recap!

it's here ! lets go down the rabbit hole hahaha

Hit it 10 times and it took me to a channel I’ve been binge watching for the past two days on an unwatched episode lol

32:35 10 next buttons later and it literally took me to the bonus episode from this week

6:39 The main difference between Wolfram Alpha and current LLMs is that WA doesn't hallucinate. If it parsed your query wrong, you can tell because it gives you the steps it took to work it out.

I’m a new listener and really enjoyed this episode! I’ve been burning through y’all’s back catalogue all week. Excited to hear more.

Best community ever ❤

I'm watching around midnight but all videos I was served were 3+ hour videos including gaming livestreams, long form video essays/retrospectives, and compilations.

The first thing that popped in my head when I watched the review was that it reminded me of a Pokedex. Glad to here that you guys got the same vibe

Rotisserie chicken is only good in a BOX! Definately worth the wait for the video version of this episode!

I got Todd in the Shadows' video on "Come On Eileen". It went to a Linus video first then just Todd in the Shadows One Hit Wonderland episodes. I think because whenever i watch many videos from the same channel in succession, it's usually those.

After hitting it ten times I got to a new video from one of my favourite channels (Korean Englishman!) that I’ve been saving for after watching this episode!

The Chevrolet bolt has been recalled at least 2 times if not 3. The first one they completely replaced the battery. Second was software to limit charge temporarily and third was something with the seatbelt. To be fair i live in a tiny country in the middle east and they still took care of my car in a timely manner.

I was beginning to worry about you guys! Happy Friday!

Huge security risk with the Rabbit R1: The VMs store user login/passwords and not an API/OpenID authorisation. From your description it seems you connect to the VM directly to type in the password. What if someone manages to connect to other people’s VMs ? So they can get your data/passwords/credit cards, can watch what you’re doing since the app is open when you’re sending audio commands..

lol marques was being petty....Great show guys! always a good podcast.

I got to Waveform Trivia Finale - The Closest One Yet!

Instead of WAN show, I always wake up to Dank Pods’ four hour mega videos

I also wake up to the WAN Show! I’ve noticed that through the day, I’ll listen to 10 minute segments of traditional news, and after about 12 videos it’ll play a WAN Show. At night I’ll accidentally fall asleep to Moist Critical, and wake up to the WAN Show. Although, for what it’s worth, when I hit “next” 10 times it played all Waveform Podcasts, landing on “Verified Badges are Gone and Al gets Too Real.”

finally a big channel mentions that the rabbit could basically be a huge botnet and most companies they're trying to integrate have it in their t&c that it's not allowed to bot and your account can get banned.

Limitless pendant (ex rewindai) is 4 months away. hope you got your preorder. that could be interesting cause they had working software before (it seems, according to reddit). now they're combing it with speakers.

Better late than never *LETSSS GOOOOO!!!* 🎉

The hand gesture thing is crazy lol. Could you imagine driving your Tesla and seeing a hitch hiker waving you down and your car just starts pulling over lol

1:41:12 it only connects to wifi when you turn the screen on so you have to wait for it to reconnect every time. Amazing

Hitting next 10 times to me to a Bill Burr podcast. The first 6 skips took me to different episodes of this podcast then it tool me to Rogan and lastly Bill Burr. Cool to see it just kept giving me podcast to watch

When I fall asleep I always wake up to some black and white battleship documentary. I've never been recommended a battleship documentary.

perfect for kids

Bag. I watch every single second every week.

I have a similar situation to the Wan show dilemma at night but for me it always plays Lex Friedman for some reason and I always wake up to him asking a question like 2 hours into a video 😂

Loved that!

RuneScape?! Loved hearing that reference in this podcast.

32:14 - 10th next: Rivian R2: are we pre-ordering. Went through some Linus Tech, Technology connections, vergecast then last two were past WVFRM episodes. Thanks, didn't need that demonstration of how solid my echo chamber is, but now I know. Great. Also explains why no one else knows anything that is happening in the world of tech

I work at Costco, the containers pop open and leak pretty regularly. So if the bags fix that while also using less plastic, I'm all for it.

10 next plays challenge (w/ YT Premium): I think David is right on this one!! It's 10PM, the algorithm probably thinks I'm about to sleep. I ONLY get long podcasts!! That's so freaky. - Andrew Huberman podcast - Lex Friedman podcast - Tim Ferriss podcast

@9:25 "Hitting the brake" should be the proper thing to do, however many cases of unexpected acceleration are people hitting the gas thinking it is the brake, so saying hit the brake isn't exactly always the right advice. I think disengaging to neutral could be more universal advice, or at least letting off both pedals and confirming what you're hitting. That's very hard in the moment but just felt worth noting that "hitting the brake" isn't what it seems in the moment at times.

The New layout seems ok imo. Usually you have to scroll away from what you are watching to read the comments. This looks like you now can read and make comments without the need for a pop out player or extension. I would see it as cool to use what sound could has had for years and showcase when the comment was made. Then when watching you can see what others are saying at that part of the video. You could also make your own comments on the video that show up all would have a toggle of course. This would make YT more engaging and kinda bring back the Video reply format but within the video itself. Since when a reply/comment is made it can then pop up on the video or in the chat with that time. What would make this idea neat is that when someone is rooting for a team or laughs at a key moment. The comment could show the people who make comments as more of a live audience rather than random comments you have to filter etc etc. I would very much like to see more ways for people in the chat to become part of the video. Maybe even this is something that the Creator sets up for certain videos, and users still can toggle. I also think Video comments should comeback. Maybe this another creator option to allow a link/key or similar to be made. This could be private or public or with link/key only. Then that link/key is copied by anyone who wants to make a reply. Then in the video or somewhere is a button to go a area that is made of all who are replying in video form to that video.

that was a great episode

I have the exact same WAN show videos too! But it doesn’t come in my recommended but last night I woke up to waveform lol

yeah like others have said, when i skipped 10 videos from this one, it pulled up only other episodes of the waveform podcast

More David please! Love his takes.

I'm a couple weeks behind on podcasts but... In 2024 I think rotisserie chicken in the bag is the way to go... It gets stuffed in the fridge easier that way.

I enjoy when David was comparing things, he wasn't showing the camera! :)

1:49:41 Definitely plastic container because it's easier to deal with the carcass. (Listened to the podcast while running, but jumped into the comments section to answer 😂)

After hitting next 10 times the video I got was "Waveform Trivia Finale - The Closest One Yet!". Most videos were also other waveform episodes.

Fascinating

STG this video is starting to be the video that I wake up to now since I watched it originally 😭😭😭

Please comment on whether the killer app to the R1 is that a VAR can preset up the R1 by training it for specific apps in a specific vertical. Like a personal R1 and a specific sub vertical business R1.1 and R1.2 etc. Then resets these customized Rabbits.

With 10 nexts: - first 5 were relevant for my daily youtube views - 6th was the first long one for 1.5 hour with lo-fi focus (checked this week) - next 3 were kind of the same lo-fi and ended up on Rainy Jazz Cafe for 4 hours (fist time here)

Hello can you ask why the camera feature don’t have a flip while recording function ⁉️⁉️
