    Bizarre. If I had $1500 laying around I wouldn’t waste it on that kids toy.

      If it can vaccum and mop your floor like roomba, I think it will have ROI.

    Forget that thing. If you want something super cool in your house, get a wall mounted arcade cabinet at Umbrella Arcades.

    amazon has made some odd decisions over the past 2 years. shits on space industry, fails at video games and ruins twitch, and now a toy robot.

    If they put this on to top of roomba or it can clean as roomba I think lots of people can pay $1000 bucks

    Man i bought one for security but some crack head broke in and abducted it! I think he put some lipstick on it and put it on the corner to run tricks so sad.

    Does it know the 3 laws of Robotics?

    Doesn’t seem to be very convenient to get on the floor to use the tablet, if it had been about 3 ft taller it could be useful. As is, it’s an expensive cat toy. I don’t know about anyone else, but dancing with a robot isn’t high on my tech needs… Unless, that’s what they want from us to prevent the AI revolution.

    Bring down the price for the robot. Also it better be more than a screen. Everything is a screen. Tired of screens. Let’s have real robots and something new and that would be cool.

On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast recorded live at the Vermont Hollywood theater, Rachel Karten, author of the Link in Bio newsletter, and Taylor Lorenz, founder of User Mag, talk about the possibility of AI killing all humans, or maybe just some.
