- Reposted by simon balmainRabbit unveils rabbitOS 2 for the r1 AI device, unlocks full touchscreen, featuring a complete interface overhaul, card-based design, and "creations" feature that lets users build software through conversation with AI agents. #RabbitR1, #RabbitOS2, #AICompanion, #AI #ConversationalAI, #AIDevice
- This kind of coverage was unthinkable a year ago. Lesser companies would have died, and many thought we would. Instead we kept shipping, kept building, kept fighting. And now here we are. Back in the game, back in the fight. It's true - what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. #rabbitr1 #rabbitOS2
- I want to make sure that #rabbitr1 is well represented here on Bluesky, so if you own one, reply and let me know!

- We have one more software update drop for #rabbitr1 before the end of the year and I think it might be our best one yet 💜
- Reposted by simon balmainIf you cannot remember the chords for the song, just ask the rabbit #R1, it's going to be much easier #AI #rabbitr1
- Not suppressing links is and will continue to play a quiet but major role in the success of this platform. The web was built for connections, and links are the plumbing. It's ridiculous, that thanks to Instagram, "link in bio" and such things are understood vernacular.
- Reposted by simon balmainCan you ever have too many handheld devices? I don’t think so! Rabbit R1 Seeed Studio's SenseCAP Watcher (now my OrionKit) Flipper Zero HackBerryPi Soon to have a ClockWork uConsole! What’s your favourite handheld gadget?
- Reposted by simon balmainToday, I played a bit with the #rabbitr1. This device doesn’t deserve all the hate I've read about it. Ok, it’s not what they promised. But doing vacation or black Friday research with Cyberpunk 2077-inspired UI? It really seems like the future
- Reposted by simon balmainA ‘Magic Camera’ LoFi pixel art of a photo of my desk taken with the Rabbit R1. This has given me an idea for a whole bunch of new ‘photography’ projects!
- #rabbitr1 is a great little motivation machine, with a touch of my own personal generative UI 💜 whenever you want, just press the button and ask for a motivational/inspirational quote.
- Glad to see this starter pack of Ex Tweeps starting to get populated! Thanks @aviralsrivastava.com for making it and verifying folks on it. go.bsky.app/6PLQCKwat://did:plc:kufpcxo4ti5dgvgexvns6fyv/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbs46ai54r2n

[This post could not be retrieved] - Reposted by simon balmainThe use of #AI in our daily lives will be as common as using a smartphone as soon as you're up in the morning. Just wait a few years... #rabbitr1 #metaai #copilot
- Reposted by simon balmainSome of my favorite #RabbitR1 magic camera shots.
- We just shipped a new OTA on #rabbitr1! We added display sleep settings, some fixes for generative UI, and a holiday easter egg (see if you can find it!) Release notes here: t.co/im9hbwmqIu
- quite dystopian scenes at #london #euston with the main entrance from the tube closed and diverted (apparently a man seen on the floor convulsing), and a power cut with emergency lighting on the main concourse with all the screens off. this on top of some flooding cancellations earlier.
- Since we first announced #rabbitr1 at CES earlier this year, Teach Mode was one of the things that captured the imagination of the world! And today, it's available in beta to all r1 users! Let's go!!! #AI #AInews www.rabbit.tech/newsroom/tea...
- Reposted by simon balmainHop to it! #TeachMode beta access for rabbit r1 🐰

- Are there any starter packs here of former Tweeps? @goldengateblond.bsky.social @ginevra.bsky.social maybe you've seen one? #OneTeam
- This is the way @jay.bsky.team! I think a lot of people forget how developer friendly Twitter *originally* was. There wasn't even an official app for years, and when it finally arrived, it was through an acquisition of a third party one. There were so many fun tools and services back then.
- By the time I worked there, there were serious efforts to get that back to a good place, but of course they got stymied by the sale. Which is why I'm thrilled to see @amir.blue here now 😊
- We used to say at Twitter 1.0 that we were "a community of communities". And I think we all understood that, if that breaks down, if any one group or interest began to dominate the timeline...... People would head for the exit. You're seeing that play out in real time.
- Sorry to share a screenshot from the other place. But you need to be aware of the greatest comeback story in tech. Yeah I'm biased. But we ship. And we ship hard. #rabbitr1

- Our new generative UI feature on #rabbitr1 made it onto The Verge! And those are my Zelda photos lol www.theverge.com/2024/11/15/2...
- Legit proud of this Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #3,317!
- Generative UI has landed on rabbit r1! Go to your rabbithole and style your own UI with a simple prompt. So much fun! Here's some examples Animal Crossing style
- MySpace style
- Barbie / Nicki Minaj style (shout-out to @nicholasliddle.com!)
-
View full threadSo many possibilities! Give it a try today.
- we'll ship this as an experimental feature tomorrow! #rabbitr1
- We have started implementing generative UI on the #rabbitr1 🔥 This is what happened when I asked it to analyze Bluesky (it found the post from @rose.bsky.team) Still work to do, you can see the bottom part is slightly janky but a great first step. This UI is based on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- yall am i on some sort of list i really hope so a "cool people" list maybe hello everyone!
- one of our alpha testers in teach mode made this INCREDIBLE video. blown away! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiKM...
- Back when Twitter was sold, I was one of the first to tweet that I was impacted by the layoffs. It went viral, and the MAGAs pounced with "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BANNING TRUMP" etc Except: - I didn't work there when those things happened - I'm from the UK - Didn't work on content moderation
- All of these things would have been obvious from looking at my profile for two seconds. Cult-like behaviour, and low comprehension skills.
- 2 days into the new #Zelda #EchoesOfWisdom and holy crap, Nintendo did it AGAIN! So much fun 😊
