Got an article instead of a bellend in a childish thumbnail?

Listened to the video when I was doing something else, apparently it's based on two medium posts with a long description of that nft project

Of course those two posts aren't linked in the description

I mean, this is just a flat out lie. Unless all of the media put out by the company is part of two medium posts? Was his correspondence with the CEO and company part of the medium posts? Don't worry, your NFTs will be worth something any minute now.

Coffeezilla is a bellend, eh? Which of your "finfluencers" did he expose and make you mad about?

The video’s not that long and the thumbnail is fine, dude. The content is clear and uses Jesse Lyu’s own words, his own voice even, to spotlight how stupid this whole thing is.

You mad your Rabbit purchase turned out to be shit or something? What’s your angle here?

It's 17 minutes long, and as the summary post above shows, it contains about two minutes worth of information

I'm sorry to hear you have that much time to waste, I hope you find a job soon

Also, I don't own any vibrators

17min really isn’t that much time and not every minute needs to be fully optimized. I mean, you found the time to bitch about a YouTuber not making an article which is far less time but infinitely more worthless.

And yes, I do I hope I find a job soon. It’s rough out there.

If you really want someone to make it easy for you, basically Lyu has made some absolutely bonkers promises under the old company name from making a carbon negative crypto-currency attached to real-world solar grids using NFTs as a sort of stock option all the way to promising that they’d invent an AI powered digital universe that would be so advanced that it would basically mirror real life. He said all that and declared not only a roughly two year timeline but also that ten years wouldn’t be necessary.

And yet now he and his company can’t even produce this Rabbit thing in a way that can even barely function. Once again, tech bros are showing just how much “idea people” are kinda worthless when they have zero concept of how to execute literally anything with any depth. Venture Capitalists are also once again proving how stupid they are for believing this crap again.

I’m not sure why the length of the video is upsetting you so much. I hope you find more time in your life for suboptimal things. Maybe you should by a vibrator and experience some pleasure.

Hear that everyone? If you listen or watch something 17 minutes long, that means you are unemployed. Ever watch a TV show or a movie? You are now instantly unemployed, congratulations.

Good video, thanks for sharing. Not sure what people here are moaning about. I guess anything over 10 seconds is "too long" nowadays.

Many people, myself included, prefer to read. I can quickly skim an article to make sure it's worth investing some time into before reading it for retention and understanding. I can also read far faster than a narrator can narrate the same. Overall, written word is just a significantly more effective medium for me. Others may have different reasons.

Is that personal preference a reason to complain about someone else sharing a video link?

I personally dislike how much people lean into video for information, also because I prefer to read, perhaps it's a little bitter but I get the sentiment

That's a long way of saying no, a personal preference is not a reason to complain about someone else sharing a video link.

Because Coffeezilla exposes a lot of finfluencer fraud and people get really, really invested in these scamsters. People don't like to be told that they got fooled.

Part 1 😭

That ending caught me off guard, I thought it was gonna be a one and done lol.

IDK if the whole thing of Rabbit Inc. it's a scam, but seems like an interesting concept. Smartphones could do it easier with a good paid AI app development not needed for a separate device also but anyway interesting concept for a "shady" company.

Interesting concept, yes, but this is shady af and the hardware doesnt contain any of the marketed hardware or software. Its all smoke and mirrors haha

Just like a Ponzi but with crowdfunding.

That so shitty. What hardware did it market that isn't on the device?

A highly specialized AI chip.

Interesting, I guess they managed to scrub the web pretty well, I can't find any mention of a specialized ai chip. It would be quite a feat to be able to produce something like that for such a low price.

I don't know about hardware, but they marketed that you'd be able to interact with an AI that would use your apps for you, via what they called a Large Action Model. None of those apps currently work, because they all are likely getting defeated up front by Captchas and other roadblocks companies put up to stop automated usage of their services.
