It seems that we're entering the age of AI hardware, will it flourish? or will this just be a short-lived footnote in technology history. Our main focus will be Rabbit's R1, but we'll look at all of the questions and implications surrounding it. In a special episode featuring Jabrils, we investigate.

AI race heating up, and here I am still trying to get Siri to understand my simple request
Yeah, once they figure out how to do it safely I’m sure apple will have a true LLM trained Ai like GPT hardware installed. It’s only a matter of time. I would imagine the real difficulty of that isn’t that they can’t already do it, it’s just that it will have to be perfectly executed or it could be problematic in various ways. They’re are already open source LLMs out there that you can install locally on your machine that supposedly competes with GPT 3.5 so no doubt Apple could make this happen. And for stuff that is crucial to the use of a phone: making calls, getting directions, setting reminders, etc etc, Siri is ok and it’s not crucial for it to know how to help you build a webpage, etc. That said, I agree that Siri is a joke in comparison. Will be interesting to see what they end up doing.
Truth!
Tell me about it!
why are you top comment with 9 likes (nvm bots)
Yeah, Siri still won't do what I want either! She'll order a pizza for me, but she won't ever pay, even on my birthday!
These aren't products that any of us really want, these are all just "founders" trying to grab VC money by throing the AI buzzword around
If we waited for people to want shit we would still be riding horses
@@willinton06 I think you mistake life-changing technology vs. gimmicks. I have the income, would never spend a nickel on those features. I like to research and book my own tickets and hotels. I like the mental challenge of doing those tasks. You would be surprised how many people are not interested in being a passive guy yelling at his phone because the stupid gimmicky AI booked him the wrong ticket.
yes, New tech can only work only if they can do everything that Smartphones can do, and offer a new thing that smartphone can't do.
this is something that can be done with a smartphone app, or a bluetooth paired hardware.
those tech founder are Delusional, idk why they believe this kind of tech could work
that's why PC and Smartphone is dominating, because it's a Generalized computing, and can do pretty much everything,
it didn't need a specialized hardware to do stuff.
the only thing that could dethrone Smartphone and pc is Hologram AR technology, especially if it was good enough to replace a
traditional screen, but i guess we won't get that for a very long time,
because, people are jumping into the next fad which is AI, and rob as many VC as Possible, while the Buzzword "AI" is still Effective
100% agree. Its just insane how much money gets poured into this thing... if it succeeds it will be incredibly expensive because of the computational power required...
Couldn't agree more. It's just more shenanigans to pass money around to the usual suspects. It's pathetic.
Siri and Google's voice assistant could easily make Rabbit obsolete once their LLMs and transformers mature and can do the same thing
Honestly, I’m the market for this. I’m sick of buttons in most situations. I understand it’s pros and cons but I’m someone who got genuinely excited at the idea of a little helpful rabbit I can just talk to.
I just don't think AI is ready yet for the public devices. I have tried AI maybe 100 times so far on various websites and it gets it right maybe half the time. If I do a complicated google search with 5 words, I can find what I want usually faster than the AI can. AI is good at composing letters and thank you notes for sure, but AI failed to remind the guy in the video that he forgot to add a tip to the pizza delivery driver. Oops.... why is the pizza sitting on my doorstep in the cold 10F night and the driver is running back to the vehicle angry?
I love how these presentations of brilliant AI devices show some quick interaction after all the setup is done...yeah the guy ordered a pizza an equivalent time he could have with doordash...but they skipped the part where i guess he had to shout his payment information and delivery address into the device
u can likely input a credit card into it and a location lets be fr
needs a head up display you can insert into sun glasses.. then you can be a hawkings.. hand free
Even ChatGPT communicate with app , for example Web Browsing. But GPT from OpenAI has function calling, which can be use to communicate with API = capability to manipulate with apps
Nice video and nice track! When should we expect the full version?
I want an AI that will help me lead a reasonably decent lifestyle in the sense that I don't have to worry about money. Failing that, then I choose super villiany.
If it works like they say, i can see a multitude of uses for someone like me. I work a hybrid job that requires going physically to different businesses for my clients. When im working remotely, I'd like to focus on finishing my reports instead of the small tasks like reporting my hours and miles driven that take up time but do not contribute to my actual productivity.
If i could just tell a device to fill in my hours for me or send an email for me while I'm out and about. Not having to pull out my laptop or login to an app on my phone would save me a ton of time.
I played around with Teenage Engineering's past products and that does not give me hope that they figured out how to make a device that you don't have to learn how to use. It's a cool idea, but i think they may be selling us a dream. Not to mention security concerns.
how do they afford the api calls without a subscription? I imagine you gotta connect to some sort of internet plan as well (or wifi). i like it though
Haha, this video aged extremely well. :D
I want an AI that actively protects my information.
Open source is the way.
Going offline the data u want to protect ?
AI is based on collecting data to improve itself, you're dreaming if you think a company will not only offer that to you but resist the urge to sell your data.
most AI required connection to the internet since most devices arent powerful enough to run the AI models, so the models run in the cloud.
unless you have a 100% offline AI your data will always be shared
As in open source software without the (in my opinion scary) AI.
Or maybe simple AI.
I'm pretty sure that simple voice assistants like Siri can run offline In a lot of cases.
Of course it still needs to connect to the internet to fetch weather data for example but actions that require your contacts list can run fully offline for example.
This aged like milk. I encourage you to put out another video on Rabbit and defend why coldfusion missed this scam as part of their research. This absolutely looks like you folks were hyping them up.
Dude at the beginning was dodging like a politician
I was just sitting here like "answer the goddamn question man! Wtf does your device even do!?!?" 🤣😂🤣
you didn't hear him? he said it's AI! that's all the info I need to blindly throw money at it
@@twomillionbagels exactly
"You know... it does the thing, that A.I does, A.I stuff, really complicated A.I processing...so... are you going to still write that check or should I look for the direct deposit" 🤔
Dude clearly wasn’t media ready and was just focussed on the paycheck.
The man at the beginning had diversity cachet
he literally is the co founder, not some random guy they found on the street@@virtualpilgrim8645
Rabbit has what I like to call a “one update away” business model. They are one Apple update away from being out of business.
exactly what I was thinking
Well, at least with rabbit r1, i won't need to pay a subscription.
It reminds me of that weird square smartphone that Microsoft came out with .. And lasted maybe 2 months before being discontinued
Something that is holding Google and Apple might be politics, so when your assistant is able to interface only major apps (probably via special APIs), you are closing your app evosystem down, when you want the user to have undisrrupted experiences
@ninjaundermyskin Funnily enough that thing could have worked as a Smart Watch.
Don't see the reason for two devices, just have it integrated into phones. If some new processing hardware is required then phones will probably just include it.
Samsung S24
Exactly
Well small companies cant enter the mobilephone market … and you cant call an phone with voice assistant innovating.. so you cant collect VC money and call yourself the new apple or google
phone hardware isnt there yet . also this is meant to replace phones . just like ar glasses will
@@myname-mz3loNot entirely true. I bet most phones are way more powerful than this. This could've easily been an app.
☕zilla exposed them!
Everything that rabbit can do can be done as an app in a smartphone. This is basically chatgpt with access to a library of custom actions. I don't want a separate device, work on a software I can use on my phone.
I mean Id imagine most people buying it are people trying to decrease screen time
Don’t worry my friends it will come
The landscape is changing really fast and it easy to see that most of the gap where start up try to fit in will be filled next years
Quite risky to start playing in this game as a small business
Exactly, it’s just the API with a scammy hardware layer
You're saying you don't want a Palm Pilot in 2024...?
exactly , and ChatGPT for example just a python program surfing the net for you , fast
"You have to log into the apps that you use, so that Rabbit can access the data within." I see no possible problems here.
Yep, it's basically putting an AI layer over the same data-gathering apps that we already have privacy issues with.
@@LeftoverBeefcake so more privacy issues with a product that looks very sus.
Indeed, I dont quite see any security issue with that, aint it.
do you expect it to just know and input all your credentials?
@@elvisvan way to miss the point
This is the classic “get good talent and innovate a bit so a big company buys you out” model. I think the entire point of Rabbit was to be bought out by Apple to be made into their Siri, they make a few 10s of millions and Apple gets to be at the forefront of AI.
I agree
Even if it might not offer much additional value to regular people’s life, it could be a game changer for blind/vision impaired people
Or just an app instead of a new device
You are completely right. I'm wondering things like:
- How fast it can recognize things?
- Would it be possible to perform "external" actions?
I'm a programmer and purchased this product as soon as I saw the training capabilities. I can't wait to play with it.
@@pantherdddjvdgx For the impaired person, the challenge to navigate and open the app still remains while this device can has much better usability than a phone as it is voice based and has physical buttons for input.
Also, the recognition features are just next level. On an app, you'd have to press different buttons to initiate different actions unless they develop some next level UI
@@pantherdddjvdgx It's hard to navigate an ap. With this device is just a press of a button. Simple yet functional.
@@Yaqins Apple will just expand siri.
As an engineer, I wonder how much of the demo was "canned" or staged for the demo and how well it will work in the real world.
It's no doubt fake or scripted with limited use specific to what he asked. Go off topic and it will likely crash. You can just tell the type of people they are. They are sales people trying to convince investors, not tech people who care about the end user experience. So much of this about and it's sad when people fall for it.
Faker than project milo
@@talibong9518 lol, yeah. And that was Microsoft. Can't trust any of them
You didn't notice all the cuts when it shows the device in his hands?
lol guess you are never in any investor presentation
You can do way more than that with a smartphone, also they need the smartphone. Coldfusions is going downhill with inaccurate information and awful personal opinions.
As others have said, smartphones can already do this stuff. And those that can't, will be able to in the releases this year.
exactly.
Not just that, but for when you don't want to use your phone, we already have smartwatches. I don't know any person with more than 6 functional brain cells that will go for a humane pin to use their phone less or do a function their phone does without taking it out. The rabbit thing sounds fun to use, though.
And one of them was essentially talking about no longer needing multiple apps. Just one for everything.
Most people don't want that. (And you can kind of see a primitive version of this with all apps trying to be shopping services. Because it works in china, they want it to work in the west too. But most don't want to buy directly from Instagram or tiktok)
Of course force it enough and younger ppl who grow up with it will be fine.
I honestly kind of prefer AI on a separate device as an option. Allowing an unknown AI access to your entire phone and personal info might be a little more intrusive than it needs to be.
But why pay another device that can. Just add that money to the phone and get the phone that can.
There is no way people will prefer this over an iPhone; also, one software update from Apple, and their business model could be gone.
What if they don't charge 30% on every transaction charged within their ecosystem? Or charge $200 USD for 8GB of ram?
@@SupraSavwhats ur point?
Cant wait for them to call it "evolu-ai-chromotech" or some funny word so that people can think its something new and revolutionary and charge $2000 fo rit.
@@2COLD118apple boohoo😭
Hardly
what a scam
This could EASILY be an app. NO NEED for TWO devices that will get tossed ina couple of years DOUBLING our E WASTE!
This, also this rabbit thing has strong scam vibes. Like does anyone believe the response time here, or the size of the form factor? Its obvious bs.
@@banme2784 its common for scammers to arise when disrupting technology is invented.
I can sort of imagine a use case for blind people, especially young kids... Tho every blind person I know would probably prefer to just use their phone 😂 Be My Eyes has already started using AI for this exact purpose
@@banme2784 Naa, the company teenage engineering already makes headphones, music synthesizers, keyboard etc, but this is their first software heavy product.
It can’t. Apple or Google won’t give you enough permissions to launch such app.
As much as I'm always rooting for the underdog, I think the R1 is the type of device people will buy, play around with for a bit, then put aside.
Bingo
I don’t even think they will buy it knowing their smartphone already does this stuff. It’s being powered by a 3rd party cloud service so there’s not even really AI involved from the front end device.
This is clearly an investor trap
same thoughts, I don't know why this R1 is making a buzz online, I just don't see it replacing phones that can do more. Average people buy phones because of how good the camera is, or because they want to play the latest games on phones. As I've said in other comment on other videos, this won't be remembered in a few months. Hope I'm wrong. First time I didn't finish a ColdFusion video.
Reminds me of the Pebble smartwatches. Cool, but the big boys will take over the market segment and integrate it pretty quickly.
It reminds me of the Zune!
These are just toys that current smartphone could do and beyond.
Exactly, this doesn't have to be a hardware piece, it can just be an app
Toys that are gonna make certain individuals filthy rich soon
you think noone tried to do this on a phone ? if they did they would be so rich ... the phone hardware cannot support ai yet ...
@@kevingp12 I think that would be a long term plan. They just wanted to make a proof of concept. If they the android or apple is convinced , they will buy it. I guess they couldn't have mode it in the first place if they relied on apple or google
@@amritprusty6097 you don't have to convince Apple or Google is just another app in the app store
That’s what we call “ solution searching for problem”
It's a Crypto Scam!
Wouldn't an 'iPhone of AI' just be an iPhone with an AI app installed (or part of the OS) rather than another device ?
Dedicated hardware
He mentions that in the video.
It's just a mobile device with an app
Absolutely agree. Really dumb devices. What iPhone and the App Store has shown for over 13 years is that with enough powered hardware, you can emulate any software from games, compass, mirrors, whips (remember?), translators word processors, spreadsheets, voice recorders, MP3 players, video screens, movie theaters etc to AI assistants (from Siri to ChatGPT) so why oh why you would need an additional ugly device with low res screen, rotatory camera (a mechanical problem waiting to happen) of low resolution? why?
Not if Apple has proven with its data collection model that it can't improve Siri because its phone users are unwilling to train their data models. I sell these phones, and every day I watch iPhone users skip sharing data with Apple, while Android users are like "Eh they probably collect this data anyways, might as well get the benefit of building a better product "
This feels like a pager back in the old days
One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is that Rabbit is partnering with Perplexity, which allows the R1 to access live-time information. The catch is that this is a subscription, which costs $20 a month. Only the first 100,000 devices will include one free year of access.
Sounds like a fair price if it works as stated
My goal is to become fluent in interfacing with AI so even if the device is made obsolete in a year I see this as an opportunity to experiment, and with the Perplexity bonus it's an easy financial decision since I get to learn both systems.
@@CedarSpringWolf Perplexity is not even an AI it's just an AI skin. That functionality can be done for free. They are basically reselling GPT4 with search function included, which is easily done with other products for free.
Actually, Perplexity and Rabbit have confirmed that the Perplexity Pro service will be free on all Rabbit devices forever, but they are also gifting the first 100,000 purchases with a SEPARATE free one year subscription to Perplexity Pro for all other devices such as Android and PC.
@@Slav4o911But they are offering 600 usage per day while in Chatgpt Plus you get around 300 usage per month
This reminds me of about 20 years ago, when refrigerators were supposed to be able to automatically detect when one of it's contents was getting low and automatically order more online. Twenty years later, almost no one has a frig that does that.
Or would really want one, which is probably the main reason they haven’t taken off. Who wants their food automatically re-ordered? How’s it going to know that I don’t want cheddar or whatever else this week?
The internet of everything is a terrible idea. An internet ready fridge is just foolish and a waste of money...
@@vooveksit could just add it to a list.
@@TheMysteryDriver How would it know what to add to its list?
@@fonkbadonk5370 by seeing what's no longer there. There are fridges that already do that.
The Humane guy at 2:30 and the Rabbit guy at 5:00 shows the importance of communications professionals in the world of tech. Their expertise as engineers might be off the charts, but the ability to actually put these products into words without sounding like a charlatan (Humane) or sounding mush-mouthed (Rabbit) is an entirely different skill set.
Also it’s the classic stereotype of someone focused on specs or what’s there vs benefits or use cases.
to me, the humane seemed more impressive. Not the R1.
R1 feels like an app I could have on my phone. Not a separate device.
I think this kind of user interface will just be an optional feature on every smartphone. You'll be able to do anything the Rabbit can do just by saying "Hey Siri" or "Hey Google". But then you'll be able to interface with your smartphone in the traditional way if you want to as well. It'll just be optional. No need for a separate device.
Many people dont trust google or apple like that
@justas9541 those people are using a Google or Apple products either way, what difference does it make how they interface with it?
Enjoy your vacation that is 3x more expensive compared to booking it yourself and takes you to the most ridiculous and clichee travel plan. This example gave me literal chills down my spine, what a dystopic idea.
Was thinking the same. What kind of dork would want this? The sort of dork you see queuing up outside the Hard Rock Cafe I guess.
an improvement for boomers who would've paid 5x as much and just visited the beach 😂
It's supposedly doing exactly what you would, go to kayak or some website and search cheap prices.
And oh no, you saw the jewels in the tower of London, how cliche. I looked at the local pissing well.
You sound like a hipster
man I would be so mad on this device if it would make me miss something important to visit 😂😂 I would blame it and shame it
People are pretty smart. Have more faith. If the price is too high, most of us won't use it. Plus, a good AI knows how to search for the best price, especially if you include that in the instructions.
Isn’t this just a glorified app, why not develop apps for phones rather than waste time and money on a lame device
For it to function in the way advertised it would need access to the phones operating system. Which most phones don't allow for user privacy reasons among others. At least that's how I understand it.
"Play my favourite song" seem so dystopian to me. I feel AI will interrupt the process of self reflection and growth, keeping people passively moving through life
Or a way to make help more excesible. Therapy is super expensive in America and some people might find machine therapists more reliable. The accessibility of counsoling anywhere you go sounds like it can be a great novelty too.
killing independent thought and the entire thing about being a human being
@@TheJanny The point of consoling is that you have a real human empathize with you and share your pain. An AI can't do that. Instead of spending all this money on actually fixing the problem, we're going off after a solution, that doesn't fix the problem.
Most of the human population doesnt do much thinking anyway.
@@SaliferousAnimationyoure assuming it wont work
I guess this is why Apple let the pin guys go, it’s such a terrible device to the point that I feel embarrassed for them.
When I first saw it I was honestly surprised they think that anyone would be interested in such device.
Watching them try to explain why their device was needed/better/useful just felt like the guy was trying to regurgitate as many buzzwords as possible without saying anything. It reminded me of the crypto bubble tbh, no actual explanation just buzzwords.
we dont even know if its a terrible device because they have no idea how to explain what the hell it does
@@craggolly well judging from what they’ve presented. Will I am years ago had a watch that was similar. Just a bundle of buzzwords that was truly awful.
delusional science fiction fans making useless childrens toys cosplaying as tech from blade runner…. At the cost of their careers
I’ve seen several demos of the Rabbit R1 but nothing really shows me what an agent should really do and that is guide me through the process, by asking me questions along the way making sure all of the relevant information is complete before processing it.
I think the most important aspect of all these devices is that they're essentially "personal information sponges", so we need to have some sort of personal data ownership in place, say if you wanted to switch from Apple Siri Plus to Google Assistant AI.
Apple and Google are already personal information sponges. No change there.
we just need offline such AI llm's. It is already possible with Phi 2 3b models...or even much better like mistral 7b currently.
Except you have to consider the value of a $200 product without a subscription that has already access to better AI and which will be upgradeable in the future at no cost.
// Edit: Woops that got more attention than I deserve. Small correction here, I wrote generation, but I should have written society. //
How marketing frames their users is more interesting for me here. A society overwhelmed with informational garbage and possibilities, but unable to name their favorite song, find a nice vacation place or just go out and get something to eat. And this is also increasingly becoming how they interact with non-synthetic life (humans, animals). Talking nonsensical garbage about receiving empathy and knowledge, but being unable to give.
Plus AI is a scam. It's all marketing buzz. *let me know when we reach level 2 AI*
It's all a mega fad and yet they don't have any real uses for it other than hype or job killing.
I don't think it's a fad or scam. This is the PC in its infancy. If you can't see that you're blind. I completely agree with OP though the way we interact with technology and how it disconnects us from the experience of living is sad and dystopian.
Within 5 minutes you can clearly say it falls under the gimmick tools category
I wouldnt be too sure
The fact that the Rabbit didn't even try to find a coupon for Pizza Hut tells me there's still work to be done. I need full integration with miles programs for airline tickets too.
Best I can do is top 3 Google results
You might want to do an episode on AI hallucinations. I think most of us think AI brings superior logic to the table when in reality it does not use logic to form its answers.
Watching you for so many years. Your research is just different level. Thank you ♥️
Appreciate it, glad you found it useful!
@ColdFusion, so is your music playlist.
Even as a kid I knew Pokedex was just a made up device that can't exist in the real world... until now. The future is now Old Man
This old man doesn't see a good use for the R1. Unless you are new in town, it's likely you know where everything is.
@@toonman361 that's why Google maps is so unpopular and the many when asked, they don't say they want a fully capable assistant in their phone which they can speak normally too.... Everyone already knows everything about their town and they never leave.
Your life must be boring @@Fastlan3
Hell yeah. It's a Pokedex but the Digimon pilled brain of mines want to think it's a Digivice. I can finally live out my Digimon Tamer dreams I had since 2000
Aww this is a sad story, thats not how life should be but each too their own@@Fastlan3
Imagine a train filled with exclusively Rabbit R1 users and everyone just talking to their phone non-stop. Disastrous. This should be a feature, not the main character. Idiotic tech lords. LOL
As a developer, what I think about is the potential for generative ui. as an example, in the Music Player being able to tell the AI i want to have method to quickly add this song to a specific playlist. Can you create a button for that and from then on, in the Music Player, you like, you have this button that you told the the ai to create for you. That's really cool to me as a concept.
Amazing idea
sounds good doesn't work meme
8 billion people and only 50k preorders? = Fail. 😢
This video will go into history as one of the most embarrassing in TH-cams existence. Complete piece of junk product paid-for ad. What a low point.
Someone should make an AI device that's packed into an emergency survival backpack. It could basically save anyone that isn't familiar with getting clean water and firemaking or identifying plants and mushrooms.
Also I kind of hate that this might become a thing (because media uses this trope alot), but AI in space travel might be incredible. A good AI could be better that asking Houston for help, saving time in complex problem solving and when space travel becomes more than manned craft orbiting the Earth, astronauts wouldn't have to wait potentially days to get an answer to their problem.
There is a lot of potential with AI, if we are creative enough.
yea, TARS would be amazing ;)
The survival kit idea is a solid use case, but whoever builds this would need to figure out how to fit a GPU or custom made hardware that will do the processing locally, because of inevitable connectivity issues.
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. 🤖
Lol good luck making that waterproof, durable, and solar powered.
AI in space travel is already here, it's just not humanity using it
What if we look at this as a device which is aimed at people who want to cut off from their phones because of social media (addictions), and still want the ability to have all the good things that the smart phones have.
Why can't people just delete the apps that they are addicted to?
Right, but they can't. That's the point. If you have something that straight doesn't allow it, this would be for them.@@trevorwovz6614
Sounds like it would be a whole lot of cope.
@@SomeSortOfMan Everyone has free will. It's just difficult to overcome.
@@SomeSortOfMan and you think this device is the solution? lmao
Crazy scam
Still the biggest limiting factor is the need to voice everything. Imagine doing all that on a busy train commute to work. Not only will the device likely pickup other people talking, it won’t hear you clearly, but all your personal information or discussions can be heard by other people. That’s the R1.
The other humble one that projects into your hand is basically the r1 but done really badly.
@bluetoothspeakergamingHAHAHAHAHA he actuälly things AI does everything LMAO imagine defending this product lol so embarrassing
what a sad world we live in. We're at the crucible of an AI revolution and all we have so far are apps and products that make us more lazy. I wish we used AI to reform our economy and figure out hard problems that we face in society. not using it to make ordering food faster and imposing as a friend( that made me depressed writing that). coldfushion is doing an excellent job on these videos, it is just the direction tech is going that is making me sad.
You just realized AI is just marketing mumbo-jumbo. Ahhhh, feel the freedom AWARENESS brings!
I'd like to point out that there is such abundance here that there's plenty of room for BOTH. So no need to get depressed, we will use advanced LLM AI technology to both address society's problems *and* order pizza. It's all good.
As I was watching this guy "plan" out his own families vacation to a city with thousands of years of history using this boring and generic ai I felt a deep sadness for our species
AI is just a fancy buzzword to vacuum money out of investors pockets. Most AI tools for normal people are totally worthless.
In fairness, it needs to be full-proof at doing the small stuff before we give it full control of an economy and a society.
So much looking forward to a new scam video for Rabbit! 🍿🥤 Taking bets on how long will it take :)
I saw this on The Code Report. This is yet another one of those things where people think about HOW it can work and not WHY you'd ever need it to work. Just like Skype video calling 15 years ago didn't take into account people not wanting to look pretty to take a video call and would much rather discreetly talk on the phone while looking ugly and on the toilet at 9am. Rabbit is so utterly pointless and a single app can easily replace it. It reminds be of the Cicret Bracelet for the 2020s.
For real, u just can create an app, but instead they create a device
guys NOBODY fucking cares about apps. it's 2024. how many apps are there? how you getting paid with an app? exactly
Whatever progress is made in the space privacy concerns should always be at the fore front ,AI businesses should not be allowed to run rough shot by treating our daily lives ,as opportunities to gather more data.
You summarized that risk well
That battle was fought and lost 15 years ago.
Offline a.i would be nice
This hype remembers of the crypto hype. I think the curtains will fall off when a lot of people will waste money on them
I think this device might be useful for a person who isn’t very good at navigating multiple apps/UI. I think of my mom who has a smartphone but does not know how to navigate all these apps as some don’t have native support for her language which is Spanish. She loves using Google Assistant but it’s not good with tasks.
I can see her using something like the rabbit for an Uber ride, trying to find something on Amazon, etc.
This is a good point! When I was working in China, I've often had to order products on Taobao, or use apps that were not user friendly to non-Chinese speakers. If I could have asked an AI four years ago to find something I'm looking for and parse the product information for me in plain English, it would save me much hassle. Hell, even here in Japan and using Amazon I've had to utilize a lot of guesswork and now and then I still mistakenly buy the wrong product, for example I've accidentally bought toilet cleaner when I needed liquid plumber to unclog a shower drain. I'm looking forward to when AI can translate something I've said and put it in another language while keeping to the spirit of my meaning. Mind you, an assistant like rabbit could just run off a smart phone, the devs probably should have made it as an overlay to a phone OS, maybe with some custom hardware.
I don't think I've ever commented this before, but you have such a soothing voice! I had a really rough week and listening to you talk tech while doing the dishes just helps make things feel alright... So thanks for making my day a bit better by doing what it is you do 😊
ok ok
i agree he has a sexy voice
Looks amazing
It's a matter of time before Google updates (and maybe renames) Google Assistant to be able to do these same things. This might just kill the R1 in it's cradle. It's a bit more complicated than that though, because Google & co. rely on us using their services. I think a few months at most before we see a version of that from Google
Congratulations to Google when they do that. Thank you for your future-Google analysis. We're all better off for your prediction.
Get real, google assistant sucks ass. When im driving on android auto, i cant even have it add a song i like. Or adding a speed trap. Literally any simple task it cannot do. Its not an ai and not even close.
Google AI is very weak for some reason... I mean their Bard chatbot (*not their overall AI capabilities).
No need for the hardware, just develop it as an app.
Could be popular with non-PC non-smartphone users who just want this (or will want when they see others using it), and don't want anything else a phone has or any complexity as they're learning UI from scratch.
I am pretty sure once you train Rabbit on a certain app, you can share that with other users. So eventually it will reach the point where it just works with every app.
Don't give them more Data Collection evil ideas.
Not only you'll give them your voice, your order, your habit,
We also will be drowned in Captcha in no time
rabit will be the biggest AI scam.
Which will go completely against their objective which was to reduce app usage😂 this is a trash product, end of story.
We probably already did with many other applications @@jensenraylight8011
You're right. And learning the architecture of an app doesn't rely on information of the user.
And after 1 user had to sacrifice a couple more seconds than usual, the app blueprint can be send to all other devices so the other 99,999% of users have a seamless experience.
I don't know what the guy above me is talking about as "app usage" isn't the problem, its app usage by people which they want to reduce. Which definitely happens if only 1 person's device has to encounter the bluebrint in order to make the experience seamless again for 99.999% of other users.
The playdate which teenage engineering also built is starting to look alot more appealing now
Ultimately, the conversation must be internal for these ai agents to work. Otherwise, you only use them at home or when you are alone. Imagine a cafe full of people using them withou headphones.They have to consider the social context for the everyday person to get widespread uptake.
The same argument was made back when people started having cellphones. Having to hear someone's one-sided conversation (or two-way if speakerphone) was seen as intrusive 25-30 years ago. Today you wouldn't even think about it.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368Voice assistants has never really taken off, speaking on the phone is different from talking to an ai when you can use your phone discreetly
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 Today I *do* think about it. When someone's using their phone in a public place, it's hecking annoying. I certainly have no intention of subjecting other people to that annoyance either.
Hey coldfusion, promote another scam to me, and I will unsub with no regrets.
how did you watch this and come to that conclusion lmao. he says it's just a tech demo, it's easily made, and made obsolete by a phone.
Actually devices like Rabbit would take the effort out of older generation Gen X and Gen Y who find the clunky UI/UX difficult to comprehend on board with the smart app capabilities
I remember showing this to my dad, and he responded to this saying that this would never succeed, because this would be only good if it was usable on an app.
If they don’t make an app having all this stuff they did for the Rabbit R1 then there’s going to be someone that will attempt to replicate that or improve it beyond what they’ve did into app form, and get better songs of praises than the Rabbit team.
Remember when folks didn't think of the app paradigm until Apple popularized it? This will bring a social paradigm and user interaction shift as well
@1anre That's a hell of a task to achieve with new device. Yes IPhone kind of did it but it's pretty much been one of a kind tech product launch so you would need to bring some crazy benefits for the end user to replicate it. What are those benefits? Why can't you achieve those benefits with current paradigm?
I believe this can be implemented as an app on a phone or inbuilt into a phone. What is strange is that it has a scroll wheel when he uses a touch screen, what's the point?
The way they're doing it is actually genius. Sell 50k units to enthusiasts who like the weird form factor, this also raises some money and gets your name out there. Have them train the device on every popular app and website. The release a more normal mainstream model next
What you're actually wanting to tell us is "I'm a genius". You're not
@@dariusus9870 having a bad day?
Last week we received an e-mail mentioning we are already 100k enthusiasts 👍
Or... Sell the company to a major company for 10000000 times more than it's worth.
@@gofres This is prob their main goal
As someone living with a visual disability, I can certainly see myself using it. But I agree, it would be better as an app on my phone or just integrated with Siri.
What would you use it for?
This in an interesting field, ai-powered hardware to help with disabilities
I think Siri is going to catch up shortly, making this device kind of an obsolete novelty. We'll see ...
The first thing he shows in the video would be very useful, where the AI describes the image. There are some softwares that do that but they aren't as good.
Something similar could be implemented with smart glasses, to help people navigate
And I usually find I am slower than other people to do things on my phone. If I can just use my voice to tell it what to do, I think it will remove a lot of friction that comes with navigating a UI@@ayy2193
why its not app.. CPU GPU ram battery power are clearly obvious.. but it could be a USB clipon attachment to phone with an app
make phone longer.. but could use wifi to talk to phone app and have in pocket too.. ideally a watch.. aliexpress have standalone watches Ive own zypax S8 for a while square and rect screens.. with voice google on it.
I am pretty sure that it's not so much a "killer app" feature but rather a "killer easy to use" thing. I can certainly see elderly and tech-challenged people using that when they would struggle with smartphones! (and don't laugh, there are still (too?) many people not comfortable with smartphones.
It’s impossible not to use a phone in this day and age. the average person thinking about buying this wouldn’t give up having a phone for it. I know it isn’t popular in the US, but in Western Europe (can’t speak for the whole of Europe) in particular pay with our phones when shopping. We scan QR codes and send money to each other using them. I haven’t seen how that’s going to be redone in this product.
I’m also sure lot of older people/ people who don’t like using phones, would be the last people to see and hear about the product, since they don’t use them?
I can imagine it being something the younger generations buy for their parents/grandparents for Christmas because it seems convenient, then it sits in a drawer until it ends up in a rubbish disposal site.
Good pov! My mom can only really use the most simple of functions in her smartphone, so a device like this would be tremendously helpful for those that are not tech inclined.
@@melodiclogic9904sorry to rain on your parade, but even just all over Europe, there are millions of people still using landline phones when they can as they don't like or stuggle with smartphones. I am not saying its the majority of the population, but is is not uncommon for elderly
This type of ai only makes sense in a ar/vr headset. Then it can really see what you are seeing and project the ai information over the real world
Look up Apple Vision Pro
@@pootube2024 I know the Apple Vision Pro but that is not available in Europa. I do have a meta quest 2 and 3. The 3 has better passthrough, what together with something like the ai mentioned will make a lot more sense then using an other device next to the smartphone. It will be interesting to see how good the passthrough is on the Vision Pro. Based on the leaked screenshots it seems slightly better then the quest 3.
Basically a glorified pager
That's insane, I just finished watching the video and back of the mind thinking that what apple could do with their already capable hardware and their apple way of doing things. Then Steve Wozniak's 2013 part dropped.
One thing Rabbit got better than any smartphone is that rotating camera. Imagine it could just turn upside and there's no privacy concern because the camera can't see you or your surroundings.
However, there have been MANY demo examples of this Rabbit thing have a HUUUUUGE delay from the user asking a question to it finally giving a response. As a report card from school would say... "Must do better!" 😏
😎🇬🇧
I prefer doing everything myself but I could see why they try to push the AI hardware, some may find it interesting. Wait till R1 just like Google do their suggestions based on their preferences and AD money rather than user's choice. I would like to see my options and explore everything myself than some AI filtering it for me and telling me what I can do or not based on their preferences. It could also cause other small competitors not have a chance against big corps.
Wow, you made me aware of something that's almost certainly going to happen. It's been trending that way with search algorithms on Google and Amazon being rigged by advertisers, but it will be so much more unavoidable when the choices are made for us. Bummer.
One of my biggest concerns here is the voice-first interface, basically a usage mode the primarily relies on voice. Voice is great, and highly valuable under many circumstances, but voice is a complete failure under other circumstances, such as when you're in a library quiet zone, a meeting, a loud environment (concert, movie, some public transportation), next to someone sleeping, attending a classical performance (symphony, ballet, opera), or -- most importantly -- when you need privacy and don't wand your responses to be audible to others, such as when checking bank balances, reading private texts or emails, etc. You might also be hearing-impaired. This product will FAIL unless its designers honor the need for a vision-only interface that works equally well as the voice interface.
It has Bluetooth
good comment! i see acceccibility is gonna be problematic. If you cant speek you cant use it. If you dont have hands you cant use it, if you cant see you might be able to use it... if youre left handed youre not gonna be able to scroll with the scroll button without covering the display. :D
@@Btree33 Thank you, I've correct my comment.
I think this might be useful in the blind community.
15 years from now, this demo could be an iPhone moment, or just another gimmick that will fade into obscurity. As tech-savy as I am, I thought that the iPhone was a cool gimmick back then, the coolest device in my world in 2007 was an HTC TYTN. 😂😂 It's hard to tell with certainty just how revolutionary a product is going to be.
When the iPhone was introduced, most contemporary phones were incapable of doing anything apart from calling. The difference this time is that a smartphone is perfectly capable of doing the stuff these companies are trying to show off.
@@tarunanand5681 What are you talking about? My TyTn had a browser, apps, email, note taking, word, excel, presentation, basically everything that the iPhone had and more, plus a large screen and a massive keyboard. It was like a mini laptop in my pocket. We had no idea how revolutionary the iPhone was going to be.
I saved my D-Link mp3 player and it was cool too!
@@tarunanand5681 Even basic feature phones had some features that the first iPhone didn't have, for example MMS. If you already had a smartphone then the first iPhone would have been a huge downgrade because it didn't support 3rd party apps etc (the App Store didn't come out until 2008). The main thing with the iPhone was the multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and the UI to go with it, and a good web browser (though it didn't support Flash).
The Nokia 770 was awesome, but for some reason they didn't think to add phone capabilities lol
19:07 I imagine Rabbit R1 being used similarly in the Syfy movie Her from ten years ago
Just not as dramatic as an AI love affair between Theodore and Samantha (played by Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson) but as a personal AI OS assistant.
Something for all of your smartdevices, sorting and eliminating countless emails, you know... a true IOT assistant... something even greater than what Steve Wozniak would have ever imagined 🤔
The fact that it's only two hundred and some change makes it really shitty. YES I said it. The PRICE makes it VERY UNAPPEALING. honestly felt weird paying only 200
my main problem with conversing with phones in general is that there are times i need to think before finishing the rest of my sentence, or if i stutter, or if i want to add something more to my sentence.... and phones generally just assume u're done speaking rather than waiting for u to continue. if there was a way to make them pause listening (like a button or smth) then it'd be great
I use Google Assistant a lot and that is a problem. Implementing Push-to-talk here is such an ingenious move, I can just hold down the button until I'm satisfied.
I now wish Assistants on phones at least have a Push-to-talk option, I already long press the Home button to open Google Assistant, can't be that hard to make it Push-to-talk.
Exactly,
It could have a setting/mode where it would only reply when you said "stop" when you were done. Like the old school telegraph messages.
@@middle-agedmacdonald2965 yeah basically smth like that, minus the necessity of actually saying stop.
i was thinking more like two buttons: a "start/stop listening" button, and a "pause/continue listening" button
we already have that for audio/voice recording, so why not implement it here too?
Use PI, there's a button to keep talking. Also, often I've made mistakes when talking and it's auto corrected them.
6:15 that’s what Apple envisioned with the launch of Siri and it seems like it’s finally here 🙌
and sadly, Siri is still one of the dumbest assistants out there.
i refuse to carry one more one device, and that's my phone
Calling Polaroid a "niche trend" is weird, like what an odd example! Polaroid was the biggest name in instant photography for 60 years! I'm sure if Rabbit still exists and is top of its field in 60 years they'll consider that a good run!
Ok, so on the R1:
- What problem is this fixing?
- What kind of connectivity does it have? Don't tell me it's wifi only...
- Why is that not a mobile app? The hardware is already here, you don't have to rebuild it.
- Not once was the scroll wheel used in the demos.
No doubt another flop, if you ask me.
Another great video. I’m trying out the Rabbit because it’s not overly expensive, and I’m a big believer in what it’s trying to do. We’ll see.
Google is removing more advanced commands from Google Assistant because no one is using them. Anyone who thinks that standing around talking phone phrases about what you want to do into a one-use device is a raving lunatic. If the R1 was an app it probably would have failed, and as a piece of hardware it's only successful as a collectable that might go up in price as time goes on. The Humane pin is even worse, as it's trying to be a phone - but a worse phone, marketing that like that was some kind of feature.
I really don't get why anyone would invest into these companies... money on a bonfire at least produces heat, this is just wasteful.
"What custom uses can you think of for such a device?"
Scamming investors out of their steaming hot NFT revenues?
As a legally blind person, the first device does actually sound really useful. Especially for overhead menus.
