what kind of lame-ass dork would spend $200 on some worthless plastic garbage that does nothing but give you blatantly false information

for fuck's sake, LLMs do not possess knowledge. they generate believable text, that's it. you can't trust any information it spits out, it's just a word prediction algorithm AHHHH STOP TREATING IT LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL TOOL

even if this "AI" shit was even remotely useful, who wants to carry around some stupid orange device that does nothing your smartphone can't already do? whoever buys this trash deserves to get grifted

PS I hate Swedish minimalist design. this shit looks like a toy for a 4 year-old, which happens to be mental age of anyone who would buy this crap

hahahahaha what the fresh fuck is this? PEOPLE PAID MONEY FOR THIS????

Assuming I bought everything brand new from Home Depot (scam pricing) I could build this for like a hundred bucks. Basically for free if I scavenged a few construction site dumpsters.

Seriously. I knew of them for their audio stuff, and imagined it as overpriced, but interesting niche tech.

But shit like this is just such silicon valley tech bro bait.

the OP-1 synth is legitimately supposed to be very good but I cannot get over the price point

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

Basically all audio gear is pointless bazinga garbage

The pocket operators were kind of fun and pretty cheap
