Both Rabbit R1 users should be concerned.

these keys allow anyone to […] brick all r1s
the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it.
Assuming that’s true, then just bricking them all sounds like it might even be the ethically correct move.
It will be hard to tell. What’s the difference between a bricked r1 and a non bricked r1? Answer: not much at all.
It’s like the ending of Silicon Valley. Maybe they’re trying to shit their pants so badly that nobody will ever try to make another device like this.
I don’t know if it is worth the effort to brick 3 devices out in the wild.
I’m shocked. Shocked I say!
the most interesting key is for elevenlabs, which gives full privileges. this allows us to:
(…) delete voices (and crash the rabbitOS backend, thus rendering all r1 devices useless)
we have internal confirmation that the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it. the api keys continue to be valid as of writing.
So there is a chance?
aint that shit a scam?
bu they still harvest the data?
So is this now 2x scam?
we have internal confirmation that the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it.
Lmao, I guess nobody’s surprised. A scam is a scam.
we will not be publishing any more details out of respect for the users
Kind of lame, I was hoping they’d brick every r1 device just out of spite. Let it be a cautionary tale for whoever was dumb enough to buy one.
If they literally only have a handful of users, so probably don’t see a need to do anything about it 🤣
Some context on what the fuck is rabbit and r1 would have been helpful.
Since no one is explaining and I have only ever heard of Rabbit on Lemmy (again with no context, probably a US thing), here is a Kagi quick answer:
what is rabbit and r1?
Based on the available information, the Rabbit R1 is a new AI-powered device developed by a tech startup called Rabbit Inc. and designed by Teenage Engineering. The key details about the Rabbit R1 are:
- It is a standalone handheld gadget about half the size of an iPhone, with a 2.88-inch touchscreen and a rotating camera for taking photos and videos. 【1】【2】
- The Rabbit R1 is powered by an AI assistant and is intended to help users interact with various apps and services on their smartphone, essentially acting as a remote control. 【3】【4】
- It connects to the internet via 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, allowing it to provide real-time information and assistance. 【5】
- The Rabbit R1 currently supports integration with apps like Uber, Spotify, Midjourney, and DoorDash, allowing users to control these services through the device. 【6】
- Reviews of the Rabbit R1 have been mixed, with some criticizing its unreliable performance, inaccurate answers, and short battery life. 【7】【2】
In summary, the Rabbit R1 is an AI-powered handheld device that aims to provide a more convenient way for users to interact with various apps and services on their smartphones. However, it seems the device still has some issues that need to be addressed.

what the fuck is rabbit and r
It’s basically just a scam
Search engines haven’t gotten that bad, have they?
No fuck you. Just because search engines exist doesn’t mean we should normalize headlines and post titles with so little information that you have to Google shit for 3 minutes to figure out what they are talking about.
lol knock it off with the helplessness.
Open another tab and do one single search. 3 mins? Lol.
I mean, today’s 10,000 and all that, but you’re on a technology forum and haven’t heard of the Rabbit R1?
It all depends on what areas of technology interest you. Some context (e.g. in the body of the lemmy post) for more niche areas is always helpful.
No them, but even knowing what it is this is hardly a device with iPhone level popularity.
What you don’t know the RG35XX? You’re not down with the Orange Pi? You don’t fuck with marushier stick boxes?
It’s not internet vapoerware obscure, but this shit would be a distantly forgotten afterthought in another 12 months.
Oh aye, I wasn’t suggesting that they have to know ALL of the tech to be able to post on a tech forum, I’m just surprised that they’re completely unaware of it, given it’s ubiquity on the tech forum over the past month or so.
He just means it’s been all over the tech internet lately, and he has a point.
of course not everyone knows everything, but this and the humane AI pin have been featured everywhere as they’re the first companies bringing llm focused AI products to market, and are generating a lot of hype, get a lot of critical articles, and a lot of youtube videos & investigations regarding them.
Not hearing about the Rabbit R1 when you followed tech news the past month was harder than playing whamagheddon during christmas time. So i get his surprise, and i don’t think his reply was mean spirited, it was hard to avoid hearing about it.
It can depend on your particular part of the tech-sphere. I barely saw anything about either of those, because I wasn’t all that interested in AI things, and didn’t really follow the kind of people who would talk about it. At most, it was a quick flash in the pan before it was overshadowed by other news.
You are aware that “technology” is not limited to shitty apps with a small user base?
Yes, obviously, but that thing has been everywhere over the past month or so. I’m just surprised that they were completely unaware.
Not anywhere I read around, and I’m quite into tech.
Sounds about right.
Wow so edgy, they don’t use uppercase letters
See, it must have made their passwords easier to guess…
That didn’t take long.
This kills the rabbit.
Where do I download these?
Rabbit? Like… the personal massager?
No, the personal wallet lightener (it’s just a shitty android phone with no LLM running a poorly written app)
Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.
Oh for sure, an Android OS base is fine, but it just reinforces the fact that the actual device is manufactured shovelware E-waste that could have just been an expensive app, as the hardware itself doesn’t do anything special…
I wouldn’t even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It’s just hard to beat an open source base that’s already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.
No please don’t confuse these. One is a technological marvel that changed the world for the better and the other is just an orange box that doesn’t do anything at all except maybe steal your personal data.
Typical security negligence of startups.
Your data is essentially never secure if it’s sitting with a startup. It’s an atrocious world for security out there.
Calling this a startup is being excessively generous. Startups are meant to eventually be viable.
This is a scam. The product just feeds your queries into ChatGPT and spits out the response. The backend tech they’ve described flat out does not exist. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
Lots of tech people who don’t know or care about the r1 device are going to get a jumpscare from this post 😁
Yup, had to read it twice! Just about had a heart attack
Why?
Edit: nvm saw someone say it’s also the name of a messenger.
RabbitMQ is used internally by a lot of applications and is often referred to colloquially as just “Rabbit”.
