Humane Pin has stopped working already (a little surprising - I expected it to outlast R1, especially with it's more apparently-sustainable subscription model)

A number of R1 service integrations are "retiring soon", whatever that means

The $200 hardware cost would only buy you a 10 month subscription to chatgpt. I'd hope their in-house systems cost less than that, but they also have to factor in the hardware costs. I'm not optimistic!

@retr0id The hardware they're using has no secure attestation, and people have already figured out how to install the APK on other devices. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/30/24145838/rabbit-r1-android-app-pixel-6a

They can't keep offering this for free. I predict something is going to change imminently.

Bet yes on this market so I either have a cool toy or a bunch of Mana. I always come out on top 😎

how does this resolve if the company goes under, but they open source the backend such that anyone can run their own personal one?

@nyanotech if pushing the button no longer makes it go I will count that as not working. might make an exception if there's an easy and free way to restore full functionality (like pointing it at a different backend), but having to fully self-host would not count.

I was hoping someone would make this, cool market.

@firstuserhere what happens when rabbit drops support for r1 but it keeps working, just not actively maintained?

@firstuserhere I feel like I defined that pretty well? If you can press the button and it does things similar to or better than launch, it's still working. some degradations in 3rd party integrations are permissible as long as it doesn't seem Rabbit is doing them intentionally, but any significant slashing or disabling Rabbit does counts as it not working.
