MKBHD worst reviewed AI boogaloo rule (sh.itjust.works)

alt-text

Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.

A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:

amazing. at 1:28 you can see the guy decide there won't be any further dates

The creepy music is doing the exact opposite of what you want this ad to do. You want this to be a normal thing that isn't weird at all and your music says "black mirror".

The day you call a listening device "Friend" is the day you lose your humanity

Here comes the next MKBHD worst reviewed product 😂

so basically a bluetooth microphone that listens everything that you say, and that sends it to a chatGPT wrapper.

Don't need this if you're schizo already 🥰

To be fair, lots of us have wanted to wear a microphone that sends us lowercase text messages pretending to be our very human friend.

I don't get the interaction. If it's always listening, why do you need to tap it? And how did it know she was having falafel. She didn't tap anything, or did that come before?

Also, $99? Unless there's a fat subscription attached to the other side, if it's sending anything to the cloud, at that price they're speedrunning their way into bankruptcy.

At least the Rabbit charged $200 to buy themselves some runway before starting to lose serious money.

It has no subscription, which is really suspicious. They're also using Llama3.1 iirc, not OpenAIs API. Obviously can't be certain, but it makes me suspicious of what they're doing with user data they collect. Especially considering the device is "always listening" according to them...
