is it 5000 consistent users or is it 5000 randos that on any given day tries turning it on to see if it was all in their head and actually these devices were kinda useful. then they don't use it again because no actually, it really is that bad
That's good question. Not sure. I didn't see that the article specified.
There's a lot of variation in human intelligence...
So no matter how shit an "ai" is, there's some amount of people who feel like it's impressively smart.
This is a high tech burn, if I've ever seen one hahahahahahahah
And 100k bought the useless garbage
I can see that happening. There was a huge hype, both for LLMs, in general, and for "smart" digital assistants. Both of these hypes were capitalize on very strongly by expert marketers, who created a device that was supposed to be both (but was neither).
That's still more than I was expecting
Surprising it's that high. How are they getting these numbers? Actual daily use or some other fudged metric?
That’s straight from the mouth of Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu, who gave the number to Fast Company <...>
The last person I'd trust to give accurate numbers. If that's what he's saying publicly, it's likely even worse.
They did it. They finally managed to make something worse than the Fire Phone
