Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app

It's so weird how they're just insisting it isn't an android app even though people have proven it is. Who do they expect to believe them?

The AI boom in a nutshell. Repackaged software and content with a shiny AI coat of paint. Even the AI itself is often just repackaged chatgpt.

I heard someone even leaked the apk LMAO that's hilarious that your 200 dollar product can be literally pirated

Why are there AI boxes popping up everywhere? They are useless. How many times do we need to repeat that LLMs are trained to give convincing answers but not correct ones. I've gained nothing from asking this glorified e-waste something, pulling out my phone and verifying it.

I'm confused by this revelation. What did everybody think the box was?

The processing was done server-side as it is with the other thing. If you find a way to do it client-side let me know otherwise I'm not interested in your dumb product.

So it's just a single app running on a minimal Android implementation, the AI is done on remote servers and it still gets lousy battery life? Sounds like they dropped the ball on design. Nevertheless, no one is going to carry this that doesn't already have a phone that can do everything the Rabbit does. It has no reason to exist.

I don't even understand what the point is of this product. Seems like e-waste at first glance.

lol at calling running Android an "emulator".

Also don't they have to distribute the actual code for the OS if it's lightly altered Android?

This is why I cringe at cell phone manufacturers selling cloud and AI features based on phone models because wtf you're not running that cloud on that handset so why do you gatekeep the product behind that model? It can't require that many resources, it's a cloud app!

I defend a lot of misunderstood ai but this doesn't have any good qualities even if it wasn't a scam

it has the same cpu as my budget 100$ phone from 2018 lol

Should’ve named the company Snake Oil Inc.

their page to link accounts to it was not a real webapp, it was a novnc page that would connect to an ubuntu vm that runs chrome with no sandboxing and basic password store under fluxbox wm

someone dumped the home directory from it

The issue isn’t even with what it runs on, albeit selling it as specialized hardware is really bizarre, when it’s just a glorified embedded platform with a scroll wheel

This is the business equivalent of throwing a tantrum.

•Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.

All android devices are "emulators" like their hardware isn't special

An app that would require root access to fully operate. It is designed to run and use apps automatically. Large Action Mode, I think. Easiest way to get this out is a standalone device

Ubuntu is just a bunch of apps running on Debian! Did you know you can take Ubuntu app .deb files and run them on Debian?

Look. The R1 is stupid, but this isn't the reason why.

lmao threatening action against their own imminent irrelevance, more like

Not cool guys, not cool at all

And get serious - fuck your "proprietary" details, fuck lying/misrepresentation for money, and fuck you for trying a stunt like this.

Call me when you actually put the genie in the bottle!

What? No way!

/s

I mean, isn't all software just an app that runs on hardware?

Programmed electronic revealed to be running a program?

Look I think this little thing is a cool gimmicky thing that is cheap and doesn't really have any practical application at all... I forgot where I was going with that comment but I guess it pretty much sums up my thoughts.

I would like to run the apk, anyone got the app download?

All they had to do was use a SoC with a NPU and they could of gotten away with this scam.
