#3It plays music while you watch a movie? Was this feature list created by actual humans?
Re: Take a Look the First Musical Robot
#4This seems lile a genuinely pointless dwvice. It has zero practical applications.

#5This is fun. It's the sort of pet that has gone viral before.
One thing.. Calling any device "the first musical robot" ignores some interesting and important parts of well documented computational history that predate this product by hundreds of years:
Self playing organs(1800's), pianos(1800's), musical clocks(1500/1600's).. Things like this have existed for ages as fully automated and programmable musical "robots". They shaped 19th century ideas about computation. Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage explicitly referenced musical automata in their work.

#6I can see the utility of a desk clock/indicator/physical-UI/music-player, but the twisty rubik thing, the two separate screens, and mobility seem totally superfluous.
Is this an AI design?

#7something something, some midi files, and didgital modeling, something, yawn!, brrrrrrr, wha?
the hard part will be tricking a(human) audience into sitting still long enough to get some promotional material, often in these cases, they will try for the crowd sceen, of with kids

#8This looks fake - an AI generated mockup to harvest email addresses.
Even if it’s not though, I doubt it’s going to get off the ground.
“CUBIE slips into characters from your favourite films, speaks with matching tone and dialogue”
It will either be sued out of existence for infringing the likeness of dozens of Hollywood stars, or the ongoing costs of using licensed voices from somewhere like ElevenLabs will make it unsustainable.

No idea if that marketing come from arrogance or lack or research, but it doesn't endear me to the product.
Basically a speaker on wheel with a screen.
