A few weeks ago, the Verge reported on a startup making a device called the Rabbit R1, which is supposed to be “an AI-powered gadget that can use your apps for you.” I’m not especially interested in the device itself or whether it can actually do what the company promises.
As usual, wow. Great collection of critiques here. I instinctively opposed the Rabbit as a fad, but you’ve got far beyond my internal feelings and put them into an eloquent set of arguments.

I highly recommend Stanislaw Lem’s novel Fiasco. In part, it involves a civilization that has tried to exist solely in virtual reality.
