@evxnche he is cracked. i tried it a year ago. everything is just poor quality from hardware to software. but i think their software has been improving

@eric6liu yo would be cool if you could elaborate on omi. i was planning on getting one, the founder seemed cracked and all that beef w/ friend.

tried every ai hardware for at least a month. here are my top 10:

@valeriesima i had hard time convincing myself on that. i guess it helps with everything that doesn't happen on your laptop. which is usually not that much.

@eric6liu how plaud note differ/better then granola?

@ThangDo102 yes

@eric6liu Is the Oura ring good to buy?

@carloAI @NaturaAI looks dope. will check it out!

@eric6liu @NaturaAI 's HumanPods and the one we'll release by September 😌 follow me so you'll know when it's out and I'll make sure you get one

@carloAI and what are those?

Introducing GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction. Rolling out in ChatGPT starting today. You’ll want to turn the sound on for this one.

@PKGulati rabbit did get much better

The AI hardware category is still early, but it is getting interesting. The Rabbit R1 is a good example… It may have launched with mixed reactions, but continuous software updates have made it significantly better over time. That is the thing about AI hardware. The real product is not just the object in your hand. It is the software layer that keeps learning, improving and changing what the device can do… Excited to try more of these. This feels like a category that will get much better with every cycle

@tinyboardjo exactly. some of these are from almost 3 yrs ago

@eric6liu How do we not have better products yet?

@sama lfg!!

GPT-5.6 sol launches thursday! happy building

30M views?? 🤯🤯🤯

@gostainvest i guess im talking about the 'new' ai hardwares

@eric6liu Thought that Mac Mini would make the list or maybe the Home Pod/Alexa/Google Home would.

@0psarchitect i really enjoyed having the immersed videos and claude code side by side

@eric6liu curious to hear about how you use your apple vision pro in this context!! I have one and honestly do not pick it up much. heaviness def being part of the equation

@RABSWFL exactly. iphones and rabbits will essentially converge into the same thing. the iphone moment has yet to come

@eric6liu So they all kinda suck. Like 5 years away from a major polished product? By then your phone or glasses will do that anyways.

@thisweekinai_ 😭😭

@eric6liu this guy building a museum out here 😭

@Matt_topher maybe when siri becomes actually good

@eric6liu Forgot to mention an iPhone

@Ambitendency_ @artem_kalt interesting device. will check it out too

@eric6liu @artem_kalt I will say I am enjoying the Bee Pioneer but it is definitely a cheap device. I just enjoy the free unlimited usage and although far from perfect it's been the most enjoyable I guess to use.

@nichochar why close it during

how long after sex is it appropriate to open claude?

@tomasmas @asantanillaj @augmentaltech would buy without knowing what it is

@eric6liu @asantanillaj @augmentaltech He’s referring to a new device we’re launching this month. Stay tuned!

every ai hardware will become 10x more useful if they are "shower ready"🛀🛀 iykyk

@_michellechoe @Heypocket i need my referral bonus😭

@eric6liu buying pocket rn
