people have been hard on rabbit r1, but ultimately it is a step toward future I feel. And they bury further down in the article that it requires permissions that the android won't grant.

What future though? And it’s easily replaced by a hardware button on a phone. I expect Google and Apple will release theirs this year.

In a few years we will look back at this period in AI with niche hardware startups and companies pouring millions into chatbot UIs and think how early it all was.

The future lives in a thick fog and someone has to venture through. Bless the first to try and find it, but they’re all missing

It's fine to take baby steps, but you can't sell a proof of concept as a real product. People will hate you, and it'll taint their perception of similar products going forward.

So why don't they sell a phone with customized Android that does what they want, like every single Android brand other than Pixel?

The Rabbit R1 is doomed to be obsolete as soon as Google and Apple add similar functionality to their OS.

Probably because a competitive phone is a much bigger effort than a special purpose device

I got a Bixby button on my Samsung. Am I living in the future? /s
