An ignorant rabbit r1 unboxing
Ғылым және технология
Get your rabbit r1 a skin or glass screen protector at shortlinus.com
The rabbit r1 is the latest AI device that claims it will make you more productive than ever with the power of ~AI~. Does the rabbit actually help? Does it work at all? Linus is here to find out if MKBHD was being too harsh, or if this really is as bad as it seems.

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.

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."

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.

When I went to uni to learn games development, in the first semester everyone on any of the IT courses had to take a course called human computer interaction. It was about accessibility and usability of software and hardware. Year 1... 1st semester. They released a product that can't be used left handed, controls are not intuitive (can't use the touch screen), scroll wheel is made of slippery plastic, so if you have issues with your grip you probably can't use it. Form over function garbage manufactured waste hardware with a software that took them a week to shovel together.

I'm so happy AI is rapidly showing us that it's actually a fad. Like 3D TVs. Was cute, as soon as it's tried to be used, it's a full on failure.
It would be useful as a smartwatch app. It would be useful as a phone app. It would be useful on a dedicated device if form and function were adequate, such as a card sized device on a lanyard that was at least dust proof and water resistant. Maybe it missed the boat because it couldn't order an uber to get there.
It turns out that Rabbit the company is actually a rebranded crypto NFT game scam company. When asked to comment on it the CEO basically just brushed it off as a summer side project for him and his team, even though they were very serious about it, and people invested a bunch of money into it. So that shows what kind of company they are. Also, their large action model is more than likely a large language model with a bit of fine tune training to call certain functions. They claim they will support so many applications, but the four it shipped with are extremely unreliable and very limited to the extent that it is almost certainly faster to do literally any task it can do on your phone. Given their history, I would advise against anybody getting one unless they’re OK with a very high probability of it becoming a bright orange paperweight.

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?

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.

Their goal wasn't really to make a thing, after all making things costs money and is often questionably profitable, it's more profitable to make cool sounding words, couple animations, raise some hype and collect the $10M and RUN before anyone sees.

"This is not a mousebed." Take my money.
This strongly reminds me of the "Arsenal" camera dongle that was supposed to add machine learning and app control to dslr and mirrorless cameras for things like exposure control for timelapses and automating HDR stacking. Somone kickstarted it for me as a gift, and it turned out to be similarly frustrating to use, but surprisingly they are still around so maybe they made it work.
This is like a kid's first idea of what a gizmo is.

Teenage engineering's Pocket Operator line of synthesizers and drum machines is very affordable actually, and its very often the most affordable option in that category. They are awesome little gadgets for musicians or anyone just doodling around.

I honestly saw more potential in the Humane pin, an assistant for the visually impaired to guide them or explain their surroundings, the ability to read items in front of them, and of course a travel companion for people with real time translation both verbally and in writing. The problem is these devices want to do everything without a specific focus. Do one or two things really well or do multiple things poorly.
Is it just me or does something sound off with the audio in this ShortCircuit? I can't place exactly what it is... at some points it seems echoey and at other times overly crisp.
The scroll wheel is so slow because it just acts as volume up and volume down clicks that they recognise lol
Rage shake for settings. Wow, this things is like a parody of itself.
That went about as well as I thought it would - better, actually.
IMO Marques was giving them a favor not dunking on this hard enough...
It's like Google lens with voice assistant, but not working at all. Impressive. Microsoft's Cortana now looks competent, compared to this hole. Impressive feat, i should say.
Props to linius for not lobbing it!

Putting aside my disdain for AI rubbish, the idea of having a device which could improve accessibility is great... I just wish it wasn't so half-baked.

@@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
they made a device so they can't be seen as another assistant app like alexa, siri, bixby... it would be better as a watch but then it would have to compete with the apple watch. this also applies for Humane.

On Coffeezeela’s channel, he said this stuff doesn’t really have them own AI. It is using the old version of ChatGpt, with other non-AI coding that interacts with other programs like Spotify, DoorDash, Uber …etc. The second part is basically an auto clicker program that clicks for you behind the screen. If those apps have some bigger update, the auto clicker program can’t recognize the change, and can’t click whatever it was designed to auto click. This is the difference between AI and auto clicker program. AI can recognize the new updated app or website, and adapt to it, to click the right thing. The auto clicker is really stupid, that it has no recognition function to actually what the buttons on websites and apps mean, and makes it unable to know what to change to click after the update of websites and apps. Even if the team update the rabbit auto clicker program again to adapt to the new version of apps and websites, once the apps and websites have some bigger update again, it will lose all the auto clicker function again, which means no Uber and DoorDash for you. You’ll have to wait for the team to update the auto clicker program again, or it just won’t work.
if you actually were able make it play music, there's a 90% chance that it would have been the beetles. Its internal prompt always recommends the beatles if you dont specify a song.
Where do I buy that LTT mouse bed?
Why would someone ever replace his own phone with something that does SOME things your phone can do, always do it WORSE and more SLOWLY. One more thing to carry, one more thing to charge, and most importantly one more thing to pay. And it's not like you're gonna leave the house without your phone anyway. Without even getting started on the topic of data security and privacy with these small unknown companies having total access over all your personal information, with the help of that scummy shit that is OpenAI
the part about it not being usable as a left handed device is such a great point
word on the street is that it's not even a stripped down AOSP rom but a full fat Android image running the Rabbit app in a shiny Orange shell with sh1tty battery. Totally not a scam... at all!
Just a new e-waste gadget :/
"well, that's ergonomic" ... "sucks to be left handed" it occurred to me that using one's left index finger for the button, that free's up the right hand for the scroll
This could just be an app for the phone. Nobody wants to carry around 2 smart devices.
