That's not a smart bed, that's an internet-connected revenue-extractor.

Shit primarily on the people at the company making the joke product, and secondarily on the dumbass who bought one.
The individuals at the company are the problem. The internet tends to comment like they don't get this.

Its actually the endless profit seeking that corporations must abide by in order to succeed that has led to shitty unnecessary tech and AI integration being in everything. The individuals working to make a living are only a symptom of that process. If they did not exist some other desperate soul would sell their labor instead. They might carry responsibility but they do not cause this issue.

You make it sound like if you make and sell a thing, people are required to buy it. If you tried to sell me an AI bed that would not function without an active internet connection, I'd laugh at you.
"the Internet" is commenting exactly that way...
Invest in orthopedic mattress and linen sheets instead of this crap.
Maybe you don't live somewhere where the average summer temperatures are 30C or higher. I'm those places, this would be a great product; your alternatives are to swelter all night, or A/C your house. A self-cooling bed would be more energy efficient.
I just took a trip down south in the US and obsessively monitored the weather back home and pined for it haha.
92F (33C) where I was at, 68F (20C) at home.
If you have an internet connected bed you deserve to sleep cold
I initially thought this was a satire comment, on a satire product.
The fact it is real makes something feel fundamentally wrong with the world.
It's... it's not satire?!
Welcome to the future! 🤢
To re-enable the Eight Sleep app, please drink verification can
That's a stupid product. Also, can't stand this guy. He's extremely obnoxious, shills cloud services, and seems to give opinions about things way out of his expertise.

Temps here are around 30°c. I'd love to have a cold bed lol.
Unrealistic. Pod4, the latest model, will only work via phone app. That's the way it goes.
