Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app (arstechnica.com)

Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

Why are there AI boxes popping up everywhere? They are useless. How many times do we need to repeat that LLMs are trained to give convincing answers but not correct ones. I've gained nothing from asking this glorified e-waste something, pulling out my phone and verifying it.

The answer is "marketing"

They have pushed AI so hard in the last couple of years they have convinced many that we are 1 year away from Terminator travelling back in time to prevent the apocalypse

Incredible levels of hype
Tons of power consumption
Questionable utility
Small but very vocal fanbase
