This is honestly kinda glorious, a company that seems to want to use AI as every other word to get as many investors to give them money as possible shoehorns AI with a reputation for hallucination into an expensive device that isn't even close to the promise if what it could do. That just screams a culmination of the last couple of years of "AI" and I am kinda loving that this happened. Maybe, just maybe, Investors will finally realize that this isn't as magical of tech as the companies like to claim and can't be shoved into every single thing hoping for magical results. Am I being too hopeful?

>Am I being too hopeful? I hope not but I would guess yes. It's insane to me that anyone even bought this thing. Their marketing couldn't even show it in a positive light. It got things wrong, it seemed pretty useless, and the whole presentation that I watched felt like they were being held captive and forced to do things. The thing is connected to T-Mob which, in my mind, is one of the worse networks out there. AND it's $700. But they sold some. Why would people buy it? Who looked at any of that and thought "YES! Let's throw $700 away for this poorly developed toy?!"

  > I hope not but I would guess yes. I unfortunately kinda agree, this alone likely won't do anything. But given the high likelihood of more than a few of these projects getting a ton of money coming out and burning in a similar way. I think it will eventually happen after getting a few bad products.
