  • 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.

I know what you're getting at and this isn't directed at you and I know this is why it's done, but the capabilities of the phone don't have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It's a dumb way to make a profit.

It's a dumb way to make a profit.

If it works, is it dumb?

When VHS was still around, DVDs were priced higher even though they were much cheaper to produce. If people are willing to pay more, producers/distributors will charge more. Yay capitalism.

I know. It's dumb as hell. Just like everything being priced at 4.99 instead of 5.00. people are just stupid and it seems to wprk out for the companies.
