Since no one is explaining and I have only ever heard of Rabbit on Lemmy (again with no context, probably a US thing), here is a Kagi quick answer:
what is rabbit and r1?
Based on the available information, the Rabbit R1 is a new AI-powered device developed by a tech startup called Rabbit Inc. and designed by Teenage Engineering. The key details about the Rabbit R1 are:
It is a standalone handheld gadget about half the size of an iPhone, with a 2.88-inch touchscreen and a rotating camera for taking photos and videos. 【1】【2】
The Rabbit R1 is powered by an AI assistant and is intended to help users interact with various apps and services on their smartphone, essentially acting as a remote control. 【3】【4】
It connects to the internet via 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, allowing it to provide real-time information and assistance. 【5】
The Rabbit R1 currently supports integration with apps like Uber, Spotify, Midjourney, and DoorDash, allowing users to control these services through the device. 【6】
Reviews of the Rabbit R1 have been mixed, with some criticizing its unreliable performance, inaccurate answers, and short battery life. 【7】【2】
In summary, the Rabbit R1 is an AI-powered handheld device that aims to provide a more convenient way for users to interact with various apps and services on their smartphones. However, it seems the device still has some issues that need to be addressed.
No fuck you. Just because search engines exist doesn’t mean we should normalize headlines and post titles with so little information that you have to Google shit for 3 minutes to figure out what they are talking about.
It’s not about the capability to find the info. it’s about the normalization of shitty writing that people like you enable. Fuck off with that hurrr durrr you’re so helpless…stfu. People who do this shit are annoying as fuck. It’s bad journalism.
He just means it’s been all over the tech internet lately, and he has a point.
of course not everyone knows everything, but this and the humane AI pin have been featured everywhere as they’re the first companies bringing llm focused AI products to market, and are generating a lot of hype, get a lot of critical articles, and a lot of youtube videos & investigations regarding them.
Not hearing about the Rabbit R1 when you followed tech news the past month was harder than playing whamagheddon during christmas time. So i get his surprise, and i don’t think his reply was mean spirited, it was hard to avoid hearing about it.
It can depend on your particular part of the tech-sphere. I barely saw anything about either of those, because I wasn’t all that interested in AI things, and didn’t really follow the kind of people who would talk about it. At most, it was a quick flash in the pan before it was overshadowed by other news.
Oh aye, I wasn’t suggesting that they have to know ALL of the tech to be able to post on a tech forum, I’m just surprised that they’re completely unaware of it, given it’s ubiquity on the tech forum over the past month or so.
Some context on what the fuck is rabbit and r1 would have been helpful.

It’s basically just a scam
Hahaha, that’s a pretty wild read.
The fucking Gamaverse,
Coffeezilla did a really good video about it
Search engines haven’t gotten that bad, have they?
No fuck you. Just because search engines exist doesn’t mean we should normalize headlines and post titles with so little information that you have to Google shit for 3 minutes to figure out what they are talking about.
lol knock it off with the helplessness.
Open another tab and do one single search. 3 mins? Lol.

I wouldn’t call this journalism. It’s a jailbreak/hacking project centered around the r1. This is just an article they posted.
I know all of the above because I was capable enough to navigate to their home page and … read it.
Grow up.
I mean, today’s 10,000 and all that, but you’re on a technology forum and haven’t heard of the Rabbit R1?
No them, but even knowing what it is this is hardly a device with iPhone level popularity.
What you don’t know the RG35XX? You’re not down with the Orange Pi? You don’t fuck with marushier stick boxes?
It’s not internet vapoerware obscure, but this shit would be a distantly forgotten afterthought in another 12 months.

It was indeed a very short flash not long ago :).
And i’m not at al interested in those products either, but they were hard to miss when that flash happened >_<.

It all depends on what areas of technology interest you. Some context (e.g. in the body of the lemmy post) for more niche areas is always helpful.
You are aware that “technology” is not limited to shitty apps with a small user base?
Yes, obviously, but that thing has been everywhere over the past month or so. I’m just surprised that they were completely unaware.
Not anywhere I read around, and I’m quite into tech.
