Its 2024 and you cannot use a product the way you want to. Can't you just use openAI api as the backend??
I hate people.
So does the startup.
See there's the problem right there. They shouldn't have sold the robot. It should have been a subscription model, with micro transactions. That would have kept the investors flocking in.
I'd like to say this is sarcasm, but unfortunately it's the most likely lesson these ghouls will learn from this.
Daily slot check in, pull the arm and the eyes display the slots. Ez money make me a CEO.
What's the opposite of "eating the onion"? I thought this was satire for sure.
Not earing the turnip?
winning a vickrey auction
Pooped the onion? Honestly, I've only ever seen these kinds of stories as notTheOnion.

Onionphobia I guess.
Buy anything that must login to a web server not located at your house and expect it to get bricked when that server doesn't work anymore. Simple....don't. Plus they are clearly gaining something from you.

You can do anything if you complain loud and long enough

Which will be harder in the next 4 years. On the other hand, maybe it sensibilizes more towards cloud-indepent operation and Open Source.
It is sad to give your child emotional support robot to begin with.
I get the feeling, but tools come in many shapes and forms. If this was truly helpful for any kid, it's a fucking tragedy that's bricked.
I assume it relies on external servers for processing, so it was a matter of time though.
