    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.

        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.

        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.

            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.
