a message to MKBHD

He's 100% right. Most AI start ups are creating hype and profiting off that momentum. Fulfillment is becoming secondary, we've seen far too many AI products that were hyped and turned out to be complete trash.

the hype is important to create momentum, to sell, to learn, to iterate, to make something great from nothing also agree we've seen a lot of trash in the market

@waynexonline Correct. As someone building something (R1) that was very publicly criticised by him, it's gratifying to see, after all our work and iteration, people now saying things like this. And he's more than welcome to do so, too.

@waynexonline love to see it

Ridiculous. Handle the critique and bring clarity. Not this nonsense.

it’s not a critique, it’s prejudging

He is judging what is in front of him(and the world). Maybe address his concerns?

Is he wrong, though?

we'll only know once it's in market

I think this is a bit of a nonsensical take because what he's doing is not being a critic but a voice for consumers -- who repeatedly get screwed over by this exact pattern.

Gustave Flaubert talked about this in 1870

@argyros_selini thanks for sharing!

But would you go to a restaurant that had no reviews

i'd give it a try if something about it looked compelling btw good work at alltrails, world-class product

He made a wallpaper app, he’s a real founder bro

You circle jerking some vaporware wont save your vaporware h1b boy

Bro there is a difference between criticism and full disclosure. I think full disclosure is a buyers right.

they have disclosed everything?

No they didn’t. Probably that’s why he had to do it for them.

Yeah but imagine you spend 20k and you get broken promises.

what are the broken promises?

Spot on. His current persona would have hated iPhone 1. He has lost his childlike sense of wonder. He likes maybe 2-3 things in total.

yup!

While MKBHD sucks, the whole idea of someone operating the robot and getting all the sensitive video feed and telemetry data is creepy and also sucks too. In general, the overall product does not seem to be in any meaningful state.

Nah he’s right. Just ship the product wtf is a preorder.

Yeah,i should allow a unknown guy to operate a robot inside my house

@Samaelhelel_0 not too far off from letting an unknown guy drive you from point A to B

i don't always agree with MKBHD, but his take on this was on point, it's a warning for the general audience to save themselves from junk. this is a bad take away from it.

"We risk very little" applies to the critic in the mouse chef movie because a singular meal is not a big risk. Consumers risk a lot when they buy new tech. But when you guys push back against Brownlee, it's like you think its a convo between him and you, not him and consumers.

You totally missed with this response - you should heed the story of humane. Marques and Joanna are judging the product based on what's there now, and while I commend you for building something entirely new, a critic has to review what's in front of them.

Very well played!

Somebody had to say it… and it had to be Anton ego

He’s 100% right, be honest the initial buyers will get almost nothing functionally wise, they would basically be beta testers/qa helping the company fine tune the bot in real world cases, it should be labeled as such and the price should be adjusted accordingly, the company is selling a promise, at least as of that video, and buying promises has screwed over consumers way to much in the last few years. Don’t over promise and under deliver is the only thing I have to say

1X should build a crappy wallpaper app! 👀👀👀

Interesting how the one product MKBHD made was really weak. This robot looks incredible

banger

LOL

You are trying to help startups, that is fair; MKBHD is trying to help consumers, that is also fair.

bro dropped wallpapers app

Banger

Very on point

He’s honestly said nothing wrong. Users can’t even get an MVP yet to at least validate the potential of NEO. It’s so easy to over promise and underdeliver.

Cook that fraud

Optimism v Pessimism

good vid and I agree!

It’s so odd! Was always his biggest fan and now it’s like his goal is to KNOCK the thing that made him famous. Every video he’s KNOCKING the product in which he’s discussing

Thanks for posting this. :)

thanks for watching it
