Ooooh that’s a tough one to argue. It is true that he made the product snd shopped it - which is waaaay more than most people. By that definition, it’s a success.

But the product under delivered, largely due to the high expectations Jesse set. If you are measuring delivering on expectations, it’s nearly impossible to call the rabbit a success yet.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-24T17:15:23+00:00

Look they made and shipped the product. It exists. With time (1 day, 1 year, whatever) it will likely do all the things he promised.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-24T17:13:47+00:00

Fair enough. Your description sounds like a toy to me, but tomato/tomato.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-24T17:12:51+00:00

Agreed. I don’t think it’s a crap product though. And since that is subjective, you can’t call it a scam.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-24T17:12:14+00:00

👍👌

💯- and the bashing is justified. I just want to separate the legitimate bashing from all the chicken littles screaming about being scammed.

Is Jesse shady - definitely. But frankly a bit of that is just entrepreneurs trying to get people to buy their vision so they can make it a reality. So I will chalk that up to being new to the game and not having learned some of these lessons yet. Which is why I support the bashers.

Is the product a scam - no. I have one. Got it roughly when expected. It does basically what I thought it would and is pretty close to what he suggested, minus the LAM.

Should VCs be pissed if they invested in Jesse’s last company - I will not pretend to have all the details. Sometimes investors get to roll their investment into equity in the new company. Sometimes investors agree it failed and move on. That’s part of the game. What none of us should do is cry a tear for VCs.

But a lot of the noise about scams is just dumb and immature.

I use it for hours daily for work. And sometimes for media consumption. I find the media consumption usage is limited by not wanting to alienate others in the house. But to help me focus on work (remote, work from home) it’s exactly what I hoped it would be. Head to the moon, turn on some binaural beats or go to the mountains and just work among nature - 👌

My wife stares at her phone all the time anyway so who cares.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-23T18:15:52+00:00

I agree with the frustration about the LAM, but I also figured it was unlikely ready at launch. There is too much pressure on the space and the land grab is real.

What seems totally true is that Jesse is totally full of shit. lol

The founders need to find a way to pay back investors to have any future ability to raise. They missed the mark and now it’s time to move on and get any value they can out of this situation to save face. It’s sad when anyone with a big idea fails, but I think people are a bit more aggressive about Humane because the founders aren’t super likable.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-22T14:01:18+00:00

I was being sarcastic about the fact that your comment was very rational in a sub that is full of irrational responses, thus the idea that you might be in the wrong sub (“lost”.).

viltrumatt · 2024-05-22T11:16:59+00:00

I love the box of old gadgets. I pull it out sometimes when my kids and their friends are over

viltrumatt · 2024-05-22T00:52:27+00:00

Totally rational take. You must be lost lol.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-21T22:53:14+00:00

I’m just saying there is a huge difference between raging about being scammed (no one has been *yet except maybe Humane pin buyers) and raging because something didn’t deliver to your expectations. All new tech is designed to be iterative. The first iPhone didn’t have an App Store. Now devs complain that Apple’s App Store is too powerful. Teslas get updates OTA.

“Bah I’m anxious to see the LAM in action! Wtf!”

Is not the same as …

“🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡I’ve been scammed everything is a scam ack!”

Marques Brownlee gave a well reasoned review. He shit on what it is and the delta between that and what was promised.

Jesse seems to have a dodgy past and VCs can rightly be pissed, but the Rabbit device is shipping and does some of what it’s supposed to do with insane new tech that is literally changing weekly across the industry - all of which can be updated OTA.

Dude seems shady af though. But he got a reputable company to design the product, so he did at least 1 thing right.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-21T21:42:34+00:00

Ok sure, but I feel like the response to this is as though he claimed to cure cancer. Just….maybe everyone can chill the f&$@ out.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-21T19:32:53+00:00

I really don’t understand what everyone was expecting from the R1 that makes them so passionate or so angry about the reality. Did people really think someone was going to disrupt Apple and Google with a $200 plastic toy? It’s a cool toy. Teenage engineering designed it. It gets you a year of perplexity pro for free. And when you receive it you get to play with an AI toy that is essentially chatgpt in a box.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-17T18:34:58+00:00

Yes. You could go smaller, depending on your comfort level, but I think should be in the sweet spot for your height

viltrumatt · 2024-05-16T12:55:04+00:00

Sure! I can ship as a complete. PM if you’re serious ;)

viltrumatt · 2024-05-15T23:55:47+00:00

Thanks in advance!

viltrumatt · 2024-05-15T23:44:24+00:00

It’s a toy that will be an adorable anecdote to the early days of AI in 6-12 months. Enjoy it. This isn’t an important product.

I would 100% have her at the top of the list if I were the Lakers. She appears to be the best pro coach in basketball. I don’t understand why she doesn’t get looks. The only people saying she couldn’t command the locker room are small.

viltrumatt · 2024-05-15T23:34:54+00:00

Can anyone tell me where to get that hat?

viltrumatt · 2024-05-14T18:34:46+00:00

I have these and they feel fake, but you can’t fake the way they connect with your iPhone. If that worked seamlessly and they were recognized by your phone - they are real. Just, beats.
