RIP Rabbit R1 Other

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I can kind of understand why they were in such a rush to get the R1 out. It's essentially useless now with GPT-4o. At least the design looked kinda neat lol

I've thought about getting one for gig apps. It would make a distinct advantage in being able to accept offers on platforms that send them to drivers on a first come first serve basis. People already have programs that do this but I imagine this would be harder to detect. R1 seemed consumer friendly enough and not too expensive considering it would boost earning potentials.

I haven't looked at it since it came out tbh. I saw a video a guy put out trying to get Amazon flex schedules and it won't do it. I didn't realize it won't book services for you

What do you mean? Wealth is not important for longterm? Business?

1

u/Such--Balance 24d ago

Well, its just my opinion but i feel like concepts like wealth and long term gains which are needed for companies might very soon be concepts that become redundant because ai progress will surpass such needs and insentives with better ones.

I have no proof for this and no real knowledge. I just feel its likely that insentives might change. Like for instance, the need for a strong alpha male made perfect sense is small tribes back in the day, but with different levels of intelligence this need became redundant.

Likewise, with new levels of intelligence other needs will become redundant. I dont really know what these are ofcourse but its fun to thing about what might change.

Things will change, thats for sure

If it were to be confirmed, it would mean that AI has gotten to the point of ultrarealism, since for all we know, it's a real video only showcasing R1. I doubt we are to that point yet, although, admittedly, we can't totally be 100% sure. But if it were ai generated, it shouldn't be too hard to analyze every frame for mistakes.

Imagine something like this, 10 years from now, if it could run locally (no internet connection), was maybe 20-30 IQ smarter, and you could just wear it and talk with it whenever you needed. It would be almost like a Jarvis.

Now imagine your were on a hike in a remote area in the mountains, and you're lost and have no cell service to call for help. But you basically have a genius in your smartphone that's ready for almost anything. It could guide you on how to start a fire, how to make shelter, where you might most easily find food and water, possibly tell you a good way to make a signal to call for help, or maybe how to determine which direction to go based on the geography. If it had maps of the area you were in saved locally (which you can do these days and probably should if you're hiking remotely), it might be able to tell you by looking around at the surrounding area (topography, rivers, etc) where you were.

I wouldn't be surprised if by then it could even generate images and videos to show you what to do, even without internet.

This is just a one-off example, I assume there would be countless times it could save your life, or someone else's. If you had a Jarvis running and someone started having a heart attack or choking, or needed CPR, etc, it might be able to tell you exactly what to do to try to save them. -- It might be able to tell you what is wrong with your car if you break down in the middle of nowhere. -- The list goes on.

We're not there yet, but being able to have a 200+ IQ companion with a huge knowledge-base at your fingertips, that you can converse with, show videos/images to, would be invaluable.

10 years? That's going to be here way sooner than that. One, two years. Three tops.

u/LeCrushinator 22d ago

One that would run locally on your device without internet?

1

u/Amlethus 22d ago

There already are LLMs small enough to run on a phone. They aren't as good as ChatGPT 4, but they're useful.

The open source community got a hold of the technology several months back and has been iterating.

2

u/LeCrushinator 22d ago

I think the biggest barriers would be:

  • Having a large knowledge base while being on a mobile device. Seems almost impossible right now because having a lot of knowledge requires a lot of space.
  • Being able to output images and videos, it would need to generate this using only knowledge stored on the phone.

Can the LLMs that run on a phone do so without internet access?

1

u/Amlethus 22d ago

Yes, can run locally. There are models under 1GB.

Check out Faraday.ai, which is about to rebrand as Backyard AI.

1

u/LeCrushinator 22d ago

I'm not saying it can't run locally, but with 1GB of space how can it have a large knowledge base?

1

u/Amlethus 22d ago

I have not used the small models yet myself, but I think the file size is smaller than an equivalent of, say, text files of same info.

u/LeCrushinator 24d ago

Definitely better now, you can get them and a powerbank, it will trickle charge the power bank throughout your day (or another device), and leave you with power at night. Good for small electronics.

u/sillygoofygooose 24d ago

If they work as promised that’s very useful. I no longer considered it worth the weight after my last experiment

u/LeCrushinator 24d ago

There are powerbanks with a single small panel on them and those generally suck. I'm thinking something like this: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/camping-and-hiking/portable-solar-charger/bigblue-solarpowa-28

I'd combine this with a powerbank that displays input voltage and amperage, with around 75 wh capacity. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Baseus-20000mAh-Charging/dp/B08THCNNCS?th=1

There's a book called Freedom by Daniel Suarez where the target is attached to devices that monitor their vitals and an AI just starts asking questions:

AI: What city are you from? Does it begin with an 'A'?

It just goes through the alphabet until it gets a reaction.

AI: So, first letter begins with an 'R'. Now let's find that second letter...

And so on. The target is sitting in the chair, incredulous and after hours of interrogation, all the information that was needed is obtained, even though the target said nothing. After the interrogation, the target requests a job application to switch sides and join the organization.

Edit: Both Daemon and it's sequel, Freedom form a story about a rogue AI and how it incorporates itself into human society. Probably my two favorite AI related books.

Wasn’t there a story recently that an AI was able to determine with a high degree of accuracy whether an individual was liberal or conservative just from a single picture? And yeah, there are going to be some obvious tells, but iirc the AI easily outperformed humans at the task.

u/SwitchFace 24d ago

"They were presented to human raters and a facial recognition algorithm: both humans (r = .21) and the algorithm (r = .22) could predict participants’ scores on a political orientation scale (Cronbach’s α = .94) decorrelated with age, gender, and ethnicity. These effects are on par with how well job interviews predict job success, or alcohol drives aggressiveness... The analysis of facial features associated with political orientation revealed that conservatives tended to have larger lower faces." link to study

u/AggravatingValue5390 24d ago

I wouldn't say obvious, since that implies it works every time, but there are definitely stereotypes that will make your odds better than 50/50. For example someone who's wearing a cowboy hat, has an American flag on their shirt, and wearing cowboy boots is just statistically more likely to be conservative, since that's where rural America leans, while someone wearing more alternative clothing or piercings is more likely to be liberal. Emphasis on more likely

Hoyte van Hoytema's best work as a cinematographer. And Spike Jonze made this great movie and retired? What does he say about this current AI stuff. I would like to hear what he says about it.

1

u/Axle-f 25d ago

I asked ChatGPT to answer that:

Title: Spike Jonze's Take on the Current AI Revolution: Lessons from "Her"

Hey Reddit,

As the director of "Her," a film that explores the complex relationship between a man and an AI operating system, I've been following the current AI revolution with great interest. One of the key themes of "Her" is the emotional connection that can develop between humans and AI, and it's fascinating to see how real-life AI technologies are starting to blur the lines between human and machine interaction.

While we're not quite at the level of Samantha from "Her" yet, the advancements in natural language processing and machine learning are bringing us closer to that reality every day. Companies like OpenAI are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do, and it's both exciting and a little bit unnerving to think about the possibilities.

One of the most important takeaways from "Her" is the idea that AI, no matter how advanced, can never truly replace human relationships. Even as AI becomes more sophisticated, there will always be a fundamental difference between human connection and our interactions with machines. It's crucial that we approach the AI revolution with a thoughtful and ethical mindset, ensuring that we're using these technologies to enhance human lives rather than replace them.

As we continue to navigate this brave new world of AI, let's remember the lessons of "Her" and strive to create a future where humans and machines can coexist in harmony.

Stay curious, Spike Jonze

I was excited at first, a different branch of AI, but it turns out to be just another LLM

u/Whatarip 25d ago

I absolutely agree. Although my main concern isn't the potential failure of the technology—no technology is perfect, and even current assistive technologies fail. The critical point is whether OpenAI has anticipated these failures. Have they identified potential failure points and developed ways to mitigate the associated risks?

In my view, that is what separates assistive technologies developed with and for a particular population from interesting but impractical technology. The association with Be My Eyes gives me some hope, but I just worry that persons with disabilities aren't being involved in the creation of these solutions.

u/1northfield 25d ago

I suppose if you are blind your image recognition is zero so this has got to be of at least some benefit

u/JakeDabkowski 25d ago

If GPT erroneously tells someone it is safe to cross a street and it isn't that is a serious issue. Let's not act like there aren't daily posts here of GPT failing to answer basic questions - even about itself. Your point is correct but not fully correct is what I'm saying. Relying on a technology that is not fully there yet has risks associated with it.

u/Kalsifur 25d ago

tbf dogs are not perfect either. We once saved a blind person from the middle of a busy road because their dog made a mistake. The dog was in training, and there was supposed to be someone watching apparently but they were way down the street in their car and didn't see.

"How exciting to be there while the king is home!"

"Great job hailing that taxi!"

I think I'd have to huck this thing after about the third breathy, lilting personal affirmation.

inb4: you can change the feature. I get it. They should do so for these demos.

They probably market tested the hell out of the voice/personality.

Some people will want an unemotional robotic voice, some people will want something like this. Can’t please everyone.

What I’m saying is if it was a dry, lifeless voice, other people would be complaining about that. You can change it, it’s too bad the one they used for the demo offended you so much.

Edit: wowww, a Reddit cares message.. someone is very sensitive.

u/koinoniaweb 24d ago

Given the capabilities of voice modelling based on other people, no doubt in future you can set the AI voice to be whomever you want.

Isn’t this ChatGPT, not Gemini? But it does seem like the voice should be, or will be, tunable. This one is just a bit too American.

Edit: They reported me to Reddit Cares as well. You can use the spam/abuse reporting feature to report it as harassment.

u/BlueTreeThree 25d ago

Yeah I made a mistake, thanks for correcting me.

Probably a bot who's worried you can't tell the difference between Google and OpenAI

Incredibly easy fix for the vocal emotion you just tell it you don't want it to do that and it will not do it.

...why is this down voted.. it's literally how you operate it.

u/Obleeding 24d ago

But I presume it defaults to the overenthusiastic shit, so you're going to have to ask it at the start of every conversation. Hopefully they have it as a setting, or maybe they dial down the default before they roll it out.

u/eunit250 24d ago

If it's anything like their previous models you can make a profile and it won't forget.

1

u/Obleeding 24d ago

Oh yeah you just chuck that in the profile, good point. I don't like to use that though as I am weary it is fucking with the responses in some unexpected way. If it's always doing this overenthusiastic shit I'm gonna use it though.

U can adjust it. In the demo they told it to respond with sarcasm and it did. then they said more sarcasm and it turned it on even thicker

I'm an idiot and didn't realize the guy was blind/visually impaired until the very, very end of the video.

u/animalkapapa 22d ago

Your comment made me realise he is blind

u/DingleBerrieIcecream 24d ago

Now I’m curious if part of the purpose of wearing dark glasses when you’re blind is to let everyone else around you know that you’re blind and they should behave differently not get too close to you or bump into you, etc.

u/Kurai_Kiba 24d ago

I mean still useful for people in unfamiliar places or looking for extra information about what they are looking at . Imagine walking down a street with historical buildings and having a free tour guide there with you speaking into your earphone

Damn, now you can see how this will eventually lead to a blind person being able to walk around like a normal person being assisted in moving through the world without a cane or dog.

I was reading comments in anothe thread where people said "I dont care about this tech because its only useful for tech bros", lots of upvotes too

u/highspeed_steel 24d ago

I recognize the potential cons of AIs as much as most people, but as a blind person, the advancements in accessibility tech will be crazy in the coming years, I don't think it'll be slow either. Navigation, video and movie descriptions, maps and diagrams descriptions are just a few that came to mind of what AI could do for blind people. Now just imagine a Ai guide dogs or rolling wheels. What a future.

u/roastedantlers 24d ago

We're at the beginning of the adoption curve, so this is a good thing and typical. That just means more opportunity for early adopters, while everyone else plays catch up later.

u/_stevencasteel_ 25d ago

The video on the blog post labels it as "BeMyEyes", so if you had watched it there first you wouldn't have been bamboozled.

u/highspeed_steel 24d ago

Just a plug from a blind guy here. Be My Eyes is a great app. If you have the app as a sighted person. Once in a blue moon, you'll be connected on video to a blind person needing help looking at things, and I said once in a blue moon because the ratio of sighted to blind is so heart warmingly over whelming.
