1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,839 today I get a unique opportunity to check out a product from a company that 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:11,080 Marquez brownley killed that's right we're going to be having a look at the 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:15,040 rabbit R1 a product that realistically you already know kind of sucks but what 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,720 you don't know is how it will uniquely suck for me I've been curious about this 5 00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:26,279 thing ever since I heard about it back at CES of this year an AI assistant that 6 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:31,239 I carry around with me but perhaps more useful than the Humane pin and also at a 7 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:36,160 more reasonable price price it's just $200 and the stick is pretty 8 00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:43,320 straightforward it's supposed to be a chat GPT AI enabled device that acts as 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,280 an intermediary between your voice and your phone allowing you to use voice 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:53,480 control even with applications that don't inherently support them the design 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,680 is delightfully teenage engineering looking which makes sense because 12 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,600 teenage engineering designed it maybe should have left it for the adults uh B 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,560 based on the perception this thing has gotten but hey that's a whole other conversation it charges via USBC it has 14 00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:13,240 a 1,000 mAh battery in it that's good for a few hours and takes about 45 15 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:18,720 minutes to charge although they do claim to be working on this it's got an array 16 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,040 microphone up here one button one dial 17 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,439 one 360° camera and I guess that rotates and 18 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,079 a touchcreen let's go ahead and fire it up shall we really nothing else in the 19 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:35,399 Box no charging cable no Wallmart no nothing huh I mean it does come with 20 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:41,240 what it appears is this like a water resistant box or is it just a fancy 21 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,200 looking box it's just fancy looking okay 22 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,360 um neat props to the rabbit team by the way forgetting out ah head of the 23 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,920 nickname rabbit hole for anyone who carries one of these things around uh 24 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:57,039 the rabbit hole instead is their portal where you manage your relationship with 25 00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:02,880 rabbit OS and with the companion device itself rabbit OS by the way it turns out 26 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:08,039 is basically Android and the rabbit it turns out is basically an app that runs 27 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,360 on Android as for why it couldn't have just been an app on your phone have they 28 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,200 offered up a statement about that ah system security which kind of makes 29 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:23,120 sense for something that you are giving basically unfettered access to your apps 30 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,599 to allow it to do things like book uh 31 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:31,400 travel engagement for you with Uber or order food for you or tweet for you uh 32 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,160 it can't tweet for you yet can it I know that's one of the things that they had 33 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,879 kind of talked about it being able to do at some point but I guess that was hard 34 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:44,120 all right let's play with it shall we huh wait so this is a touchcreen but 35 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,120 you can't just 36 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,720 really and you're running Android so you 37 00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,000 went out of your way to make it so I couldn't interact 38 00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:01,840 with this thing with touch well you can sometimes 39 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,200 huh all right we're off to a good start 40 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:15,599 brightness hold ah oh well that's 41 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,720 ergonomic neat I was legitimately kind of excited 42 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,239 about this thing when I heard about it I knew it would suck but I was excited 43 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:31,680 about the idea of just being able to sort of Yap at something and essentially 44 00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,799 have uh you know a standalone Auto 45 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,439 hotkey thing that was piped into chat GPT was kind of how I imagined it and I 46 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:43,080 think that's still kind of the vision that they're selling for it for the future right if only it could connect to 47 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:48,879 the network failed do I have options other than try 48 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:55,560 again I do not try again then I 49 00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:57,439 shall ah rabbit OS I don't know how I 50 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,200 got to the settings I was I was cleaning it on my shirt oh do you shake it to get 51 00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:06,959 to settings that's hilarious it's 52 00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:12,159 cute failed why don't we try Ye Old restart 53 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,040 you shouldn't have a glossy surface for a scroll wheel you kind of slip on it a 54 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:21,280 little bit but like that's the least stupid thing about the user interface is 55 00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:25,759 it ambidextrous can you like flip it and use it this way if not that would kind 56 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:32,160 of suck oh well sucks to be left-handed I guess wow we've used up like 5% % of 57 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,919 battery just trying to connect to the network oh right I shake 58 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,070 it okay let's oh God how do I turn it 59 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,120 off 60 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:55,350 now oh man oh no all right

using it you're like 64 00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,080 rabbit I've encountered teenage engineering stuff I've never been 65 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:17,080 compelled to buy any of it because it all just seems really expensive for very 66 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:22,720 limited utility no offense like I want things to do something like this very 67 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:29,199 teenage engineering looks

00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:38,199 do not come into my life purporting to be a device that saves me time and then 85 00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:42,280 proceed to waste it speaking of things not entirely 86

with an internet 102 00:08:00,159 --> 00:08:06,159 search what would you like me to search for I'd like you to take a picture and 103 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,080 then tell me what something is I'm unable to take pictures or provide 104 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,000 visual information as the camera function is not currently enabled how 105 00:08:12,599 --> 00:08:20,520 else may I assist you today what do you mean the camera function's not enabled 106 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:23,199 oh my God the camera function's not 107 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:30,000 enabled don't let me once again do not come into my life 108 00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:36,120 telling me that you are going to provide natural interaction shortcuts to 109 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:40,880 get things done and you can't even turn on your camera when I ask you to turn on 110 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,680 your camera like this is a thing everyone's noticed about this right 111 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,959 probably probably yeah I don't know I haven't watched any videos about it I've 112 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:53,480 intentionally cloistered myself on this one where can I buy this mouse pad let 113 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:58,519 me take a look this appears to be a decorative 114 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:02,160 wall hanging or art piece not a mouse pad given the the nature of the item I 115 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,200 don't believe you would be able to purchase this as a mouse pad where can I 116 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:11,240 buy this mouse pad I apologize but I do not see a mouse or a bed in the image 117 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:16,160 provided the thing in the center of this image is a mouse pad this is not a mouse 118 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:22,079 pad but rather a glass or transparent tabletop with a colorful abstract design 119 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:24,440 on it the design geometric shape many 120 00:09:22,079 --> 00:09:27,720 manufacturers offer a range of sizes features and designs to suit different 121 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:33,920 creative applications you can't tell it to shut 122 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,600 up it just talks until it's done who 123 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:43,160 does this thing think it is me on the land show okay fine let's try something 124 00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:45,839 wow this camera is not very good um 125 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:50,240 okay who are you looking at right now let me 126 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,240 see the image shows a person a man 127 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,000 looking straight at the camera he has short light colored hair and is wearing 128 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,959 a black T-shirt the background includes some geometric shapes and lighting 129 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:06,880 elements suggesting this may be a home or Studio setting so it can't search for 130 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,560 people good Lord what can it do we're 131 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:14,680 down to 82% battery wow play some super cool music 132 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:22,440 on my Spotify make the ladies think I'm super cool for the music I'm listening 133 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:27,600 to getting the music going now 134 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:30,279 nice is it going to is it going to play 135 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:36,200 music did it just crash double click does not open the camera 136 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,800 anymore like I can open 137 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:46,040 oh here maybe it's just quiet maybe it's quiet media let's 138 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:48,560 go no man that's not quiet how much 139 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:53,600 funding did these guys raise what is even happening right now 140 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:59,360 is it just is it broken okay well here let's reboot it let's reboot it no let's 141 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:01,160 power it off and then wait for it 142 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:06,839 nonsense and then power it back on network connection lost 143 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:12,639 jeez play music that will make the ladies think I am cool okay starting the 144 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,639 music player 145 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:20,079 now oh it's just broken this did two 146 00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:26,120 updates today and it both of them took a long time well that's something it did 147 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,600 today you know what the reality of it is I'm sure that there are plenty of 148 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:35,639 talented designers and Engineers who worked on this product and uh 149 00:11:33,079 --> 00:11:39,399 realistically they have got to know that it's not ready yet and so the only 150 00:11:37,959 --> 00:11:43,560 reason that I can think of that I'm holding this right now is that the money 151 00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:47,360 that's involved is expecting some kind of return and if money wasn't so 152 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:51,079 impatient it would have known that the better thing to do would be to hold on 153 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:56,720 to this for a little bit longer until they've had time to let her cook cuz I 154 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,560 do see the potential but I don't see any 155 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,320 of the execution in the version that I'm holding in my hand right now I also see 156 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:07,079 some sort of just generally terrible terrible ideas where they need to get 157 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,279 out from inside their own buttholes and 158 00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:12,760 understand that you know clicking and sliding and clicking on things with the 159 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,800 touchcreen is just common sense and needs to be a thing that you can do but 160 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:20,760 you know overall there's nothing inherently terrible about the idea it's 161 00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:25,199 just obviously a complete piece of right now let's just hope that it doesn't 162 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:30,040 multiply like uh real rabbits just kidding it will man the amount of AI 163 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:34,800 shovelware that's going to be hitting this desk over the next year or two it's 164 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:41,519 going to be a sight to behold it has like three jobs order me an Uber order 165 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,560 me door Dash and play music those are 166 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:49,560 the only validated use cases with the bloody thing and it it couldn't do two 167 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,000 of them mid journey is the fourth yeah I 168 00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:55,600 saw that mid Journey what even would I do what would I do with mid Journey on 169 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,920 this thing like look at it on my tiny little screen I have a phone in my 170 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:03,240 pocket like are you kidding me right now this is my this is my ancient crappy 171 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:07,199 phone and it's that much bigger like you got to be kidding me see 172 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:13,720 people are going to be watching this going like oh that line is what an but like if I told you anything other than 173 00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:19,279 what a piece of crap this thing is I would be scamming you I'd be complicit 174 00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:22,279 this is my job subscribe to ShortCircuit
