This is why I think Rabbit is one of the most interesting startups around. If I could wave a wand and go pick any startup to go work at, it would be Rabbit.

... that little AI assistant gadget thing that bombed? Them?

Which Rabbit are you meaning? When I search for Rabbit AI I get a few hits and none of them seem like the most interesting startup around.

https://www.rabbit.tech/

They're developing some super interesting ways of the os developing itself as you use the device, apps building themselves, stuff like that. Super early days, but I have a really really good feeling about them (I know, everyone else doesn't and I'm sure thinks I'm nuts saying this).

Yes, I think people wrote them off WAY too quickly, I don't really want to get into a back and forth on if they should have done tech reviews even at all blah blah blah, yeah I agree wasn't an ideal way to introduce yourself to the world, but if you listen to their CEO, use their product, and pay attention to the team they've put together... I feel strongly they're onto something big.

You're not explaining why you have such a good feeling - is their team uniquely good, far ahead? Is there something specific in how they architected it? I think a lot of people are headed in this direction, they have a bad brand, the need to totally restructure their team, and probably bad equity structure now and a need for a down round, it'll be hard to get good talent.

Is this different from other recent models trained eg for tool calling? Sounds like they fine tuned on their SDK. Maybe someday, but it's still going to be limited in what it can zero shot without you needing to edit the code.

This does seem funny coming from you. I feel like you'll still find a way :P

Gemini 2.5 will write a whole Linux kernel from scratch! We are seeing a paradigm shift! This is bigger than the invention of electricity! Awesome times to be alive!

Seeing these announcements make me nervous. I feel like I found some sort of cheat code by using AI Studio for free. Seeing them build it out, makes me wonder when they are going to start charging for it. Though Grok has been very generous as an alternate. I guess there's a lot of good options out there. I'm just used to hitting limits most places, and not as good models.

Are you being wrote off too quickly when you blatantly lie about your product capabilities?

I love this, and as for AI-assisted cheating, I would make it such that the student can use any tool whatsoever under the sun, but then needs to do a live in-person presentation on it followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. Some are better bullshitters than others, but you'll still see a very clear difference between those who actually worked and those who had the work done for them.

Yes, I think this kind of combination is where higher ed is going to land. I've been talking to a colleague lately about how social skills and public speaking just got more important (and are things we need to focus on actually teaching). Likewise, I think self-directed, individualized humanistic research is currently not replicable by AI nor likely to be - for instance, generating an entirely new historical archive…

AI could help with scale. Schools need to build SCIFs for their students to complete evaluations in an environment guaranteed to be free of AI assistance.

Presumably Google AI Studio[1] and Google Firebase Studio[2] are made by different teams with very similar pitches, and Google is perfectly happy to have both of them exist, until it isn't: - AI Studio: "the fastest place to start building with the Gemini API" - Firebase Studio: "Prototype, build, deploy, and run full-stack, AI apps quickly" [1] https://aistudio.google.com/apps [2] https://firebase.google.com/

Bosses reading this:

"this is brilliant! I'll assign multiple teams to the same project. Let the best team win! And then the other teams get PIP'd"
