Some context on what the fuck is rabbit and r1 would have been helpful.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

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.

Search engines haven’t gotten that bad, have they?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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.
