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.

The processing was done server-side as it is with the other thing. If you find a way to do it client-side let me know otherwise I'm not interested in your dumb product.

Yes, but it's also unauthenticated (it doesn't verify it comes from the real device, or even run an account belonging to a device owner)

You just need the app

Until they inevitably shut it down

Spoiler: when they let you know about the better device, your phone will already be much better at the same client-side processing anyway.

What, you aren't excited about a future where everything is cloud computing spyware that sends all your activity to an AI to be analyzed and picked apart by strangers?
