Who knows, maybe it’s really because of the cool design. Personally, I think the more a cool device can do, the more interesting it becomes for everyone, even those who unfortunately can’t have it right now. Sometimes the stupidest arguments for buying a device are the ones that make the most money.
NGL - the technical challenges are high - but for a company “flipping technology on its head” - I like the idea simply because that’s exactly what it would do
I’m afraid you’ve had a few ideas foisted on you @rabbit with the sole intention of harming you. There are obviously people like that here in the community too. I can therefore only urgently recommend that you reconsider some of the things you have already implemented and think very carefully and critically in future about what disadvantages a potentially good idea could have and whether you really want to accept these disadvantages. @simon@mattdomko
Fun fact: I think we finally reached the stage of team building where we have multiple teams breaking down big features into small tasks and executing on them asynchronously. I wouldn’t say we’re the best example of what an agile org looks like, but I’m feeling the familiar “focus” that I had at big companies in the past.
It’s a huge accomplishment, because a year ago I think there were like 3 people in a chat room working on a demo? (this is all lore to me, because I only joined in March)
I think it’s really MEGA what you’ve achieved, please don’t let it ruin it. I think you should really concentrate on what Jesse originally wanted r1 to be and that’s exactly what I think, and only that, should be the basis for making the most intuitive computer better with every update.
I mean just as an example, if I have to press the PTT button 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, Xx so that r1 does something for me, that’s really crazy! There’s an AI working in there or at least an interface to it, then this AI should also be the heart of the operation. Everything that means pressing the PTT button more than twice is no longer intuitive, please believe me. I think you should really take a few steps back, get a good run-up and then sprint in the right direction again, in the direction that Jesse introduced r1 in his brilliant keynote. With r1 you are all sitting on a goldmine, believe me, please don’t let it be ruined.And besides, r1 could really make the world a much better place for everyone, really. I firmly believe in it, but to do so it has to reach a certain state and should in no way deviate from the original idea of becoming the most intuitive computer to use.
One important thing just occurred to me, I think you should perhaps rethink your priorities when it comes to updates. I mean, I think it’s really great that I can now tell my r1 what a magic picture should look like, but if I could just speak to r1 in my language or if I could have the feeling that my data is more secure in the rabbit hole because of two-factor authentication, those are things that I think should be much more important.
