Rabbit Inc. Faked Their Demo (Again)

Is this written by someone that lost money gambling on NFTs? I don't think the demo is particularly bad and it's known that demos are the happy path so don't expect full functionality in the recording. I think every customer demo I have ever done has involved some form of magic or omissions while features were built in the background. Having not heard of this company before it looks like they have made a few attempts at different ventures but unless this is an outright scam I don't think it's worth hammering like this. People need to try things and sometimes ideas don't work out.

The authors anonymously make assertions of fraud, but clearly have an axe to grind with Rabbit.<p>This piece is interesting in how peculiar it is, but I&#x27;d say not newsworthy.<p>I did learn at least that there is some NFT history behind the company rabbit, which I was unaware of.

Not clearing them from their wrong, but it&#x27;s worth mentioning that Steve Jobs demo&#x27;ed the iPhone while many features were still in development &#x2F; unstable - he had to follow a &quot;golden path&quot; or else the demo iPhone would likely crash.

This seems like an overly aggressive article? I&#x27;m not sure if all exposes are like this, but they seem to be assuming <i>a lot</i> on very little evidence. IMO having a bit of respect&#x2F;empathy for a startup is a good thing...

I don’t know, it was a pretty simple demo (just audio recording, transcription, and summarizing) so would it really be worth faking? The only things the article mentions are the typo (which actually makes me think it’s more likely to be real than faked) and the audio mismatch (which he explains on twitter was simply because he clicked an earlier recording accidentally - makes sense, I would do a dry run before actually recording the demo too).

I don&#x27;t know anything about this controversy, but it&#x27;s refreshing to see a bunch of people not immediately assuming guilt and crucifying.

A copy-text typo in a pre-production UI seems totally fine?<p>The audio clip mismatch is a bit more questionable, but the simplest explanation is that they recorded two takes of the demo, and accidentally played back the clip from the previous take.<p>The only really damning thing is that this is something Siri could do a decade ago.

Seems like a typical MediaTek gadget like the Android-based pocket translators that you can bring with you in travel.<p>No reason to think it&#x27;s not possible or fake ? and otherwise it&#x27;s very close to being real and doable.<p>The device seems like a recorder + some speech transcription (probably open-source like whisper or similar), nothing really crazy or impossible.

We already know that &quot;Fake it until you make it&quot; is a soft scam in Silicon Valley.<p>But how far will these companies go to fake their own products in front of VCs and customers to qualify as deceptive advertising?<p>Might as well go for 90% of these other vapourware tech &#x2F; AI companies promising their snake oil to the public.
