        Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.

          Oh for sure, an Android OS base is fine, but it just reinforces the fact that the actual device is manufactured shovelware E-waste that could have just been an expensive app, as the hardware itself doesn’t do anything special…

            I wouldn’t even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It’s just hard to beat an open source base that’s already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.

      No please don’t confuse these. One is a technological marvel that changed the world for the better and the other is just an orange box that doesn’t do anything at all except maybe steal your personal data.

    the most interesting key is for elevenlabs, which gives full privileges. this allows us to:

    (…) delete voices (and crash the rabbitOS backend, thus rendering all r1 devices useless)

    we have internal confirmation that the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it. the api keys continue to be valid as of writing.

    So there is a chance?

    Lmao, I guess nobody’s surprised. A scam is a scam.

    we will not be publishing any more details out of respect for the users

    Kind of lame, I was hoping they’d brick every r1 device just out of spite. Let it be a cautionary tale for whoever was dumb enough to buy one.

    Lots of tech people who don’t know or care about the r1 device are going to get a jumpscare from this post 😁

    these keys allow anyone to […] brick all r1s

    the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it.

    Assuming that’s true, then just bricking them all sounds like it might even be the ethically correct move.

      It’s like the ending of Silicon Valley. Maybe they’re trying to shit their pants so badly that nobody will ever try to make another device like this.

    Typical security negligence of startups.

    Your data is essentially never secure if it’s sitting with a startup. It’s an atrocious world for security out there.

      Calling this a startup is being excessively generous. Startups are meant to eventually be viable.

      This is a scam. The product just feeds your queries into ChatGPT and spits out the response. The backend tech they’ve described flat out does not exist. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
