Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app

true but we all have tons of successful devices that are secretly like this, smart doorbells and flood lights and watches etc. we also have all seen terrible ones. its the implementation that isn’t magical.

A lot of those smart devices are nothing but a waste of rare earth elements. I don’t think switching on your lights remotely, or starting your car engine with an app are “features”. This is consumerist bullshit that we can very well live without any meaningful change in quality of life.
There are disruptors, that truly bring something new to the table, and then you have smart dildos.
