🐰 兔子R1科技产品介绍与争议

兔子R1是一款科技产品，由创始人Jesse领导，声称获得了数千万美元的风险投资。Jesse在视频中展示了R1的功能，包括语音输入、叫车、订餐以及规划复杂活动等。然而，产品在功能上受到了质疑，被指责为非功能性或错误宣传。此外，Jesse试图与一个更大的欺诈行为划清界限，这个欺诈行为是公司建立的基础。公司原名为Cyber Manufacturer Co，后来更名为Rabbit Incorporated，这个更名发生在官方宣布前两个月。更名背后隐藏着公司的历史，原名下的公司曾为一个名为Gamma的NFT项目筹集资金，而这个项目与AI无关，与游戏、社区所有权和Web 3等概念相关。Jesse试图淡化与Gamma的关系，但其他人，包括Emily Shepard和Ed Zitron，提出了不同的看法，暗示了更大的问题。

05:01

📈 Gamma项目的承诺与未兑现

Gamma项目被Jesse描述为一个不仅仅是NFT的宏大项目，他承诺将开发一个名为Gamma Verse的元宇宙，以及一个清洁能源驱动的Gamma币，声称这将是第一个碳中和甚至碳负的加密货币2.0版本。他还提到了在洛杉矶Fairfax Avenue开设的实体店、漫画书、电视剧和MMO RPG游戏。Jesse声称，通过购买NFT，投资者将共同拥有一个清洁能源网络，并从中获得Gamma币。然而，这些承诺并没有实现，所谓的清洁能源网络和Gamma币从未发布或构建。Jesse后来表示，如果有人认为这是一个NFT炒作项目，他愿意回购他们的NFT，但后来他和Rabbit团队否认了这一点，并拒绝向投资者退款。

10:01

🚧 Rabbit项目的过度宣传与现实差距

Rabbit项目被宣传为一个全能设备，但与Gamma项目类似，它也被指责为过度宣传。Jesse和Rabbit团队有放弃投资者的历史，就像他们对Gamma NFT项目所做的那样。Jesse曾告诉人们不要过于关注NFT机制，因为那并不重要，他承诺即使NFT项目完全失败，他们仍将推进Gamma Verse和清洁能源项目。然而，这些承诺从未实现，所谓的清洁能源Gamma币从未发布。Rabbit团队否认了Gamma项目曾承诺碳负币，尽管Jesse在视频中明确提到了这一点。他们声称已经通过三个阶段交付了所有承诺，但这些阶段并不是他们最初承诺的阶段。Rabbit团队还否认了与Gamma项目的任何联系，尽管有证据表明两者之间存在明显的联系。

15:01

🕵️‍♂️ 对Rabbit团队的质疑与调查

由于Rabbit团队对Gamma项目的承诺未能兑现，以及他们对Rabbit项目的过度宣传，人们对这个团队的诚信和透明度产生了质疑。Jesse和Rabbit团队在多个场合的陈述相互矛盾，包括在不同语言中的声明。他们甚至试图否认与Gamma项目的联系，尽管有明确的证据表明这两个项目是由同一家公司开发的。当被要求对这些不一致的陈述作出解释时，Rabbit团队未能提供满意的答复，也没有采取任何措施来纠正错误或向投资者提供退款。这导致了对Rabbit团队可能隐藏的其他问题的关注，并激发了进一步调查他们行为的愿望。

Transcripts

the rabbit R1 is a tech product that has

raised tens of millions inv Venture

Capital promised the world and delivered

on almost none of it worse though it's

built on a scam that the founder is now

trying to distance himself from but hey

where are I manners I'm trying to be

more positive in

2024 so let's let this company introduce

themselves at least before we say

anything negative about them hi everyone

my name is Jesse and I'm the founder and

CEO of rabbit this is the rabbit R1 I

can speak or type with R1 I can also use

R1 to call a ride I can also use R1 to

order food I can also make R1 to a set

of more complex actions for example if I

want to plan a trip to London I can just

describe what I wish in full to R1 you

can order the R1 now at

rabbit. and we are shipping Easter 2024

well there you go that's not so bad you

got yourself a standard Tech guy in a

black shirt promising the world Apple

keynote backround what could go wrong oh

and I guess it's past Easter 2024 so the

product should have shipped so before we

talk about the scam angle let's briefly

check in with tech YouTube for how this

AI assistant is assistan thing the thing

that you get at the beginning is like

borderline nonfunctional look in Uber to

LT Labs the ride share status is

currently unavailable get me a ride

apologies the Uber ride request couldn't

be processed what is

this you are holding a taco oh that's

not good I could give them a few lessons

on positivity turns out basically

everyone in the tech sector tagged team

this product for being non-functional or

playing wrong about things that rabbit

said the R1 could handle things just

weren't working what if I told you that

wasn't the the biggest scam that this

company is built on something much worse

and now that I've been so cheery and

positive let's go down the rabbit hole

and see what's under the hood yes it's a

bunch of rabbit jokes so the first thing

we need to do is go to their web page

the R1 is created by something called

rabbit Incorporated but this company has

a strange history it was originally

registered under a different name cyber

manufacturer Co in fact they changed

their name 2 months before their

official announcement and it turns out

that name change is pretty significant

because cyber manufacture Co wasn't just

like a shell company or the same company

under a different name they had

separately raised venture capital for a

completely different project not AI it

was for nfts now before you laugh

remember this is 2021 when people took

nfts very seriously according to a press

release the project was called gamma and

it was at the intersection of Gaming

Community ownership and web 3 buzzwords

what does that have to do with AI well

not really much conversely rabbit today

also sort of wants nothing to do with

crypto their founder Jesse announces for

rabbit let me be clear quote we will

never touch crypto never okay well

that's pretty strong but given their

whole past is built on crypto nfts it's

a little strange now when gamma is

brought up Jesse doesn't really deny

that he ran the project he sort of makes

it sound like it was no big deal just

kind of a thing of the past quote gamma

was a fun little project I was involved

with during early Co time my main work

is to build a Unreal Engine 5 space

station themed game that I later open

sourced yes gamma released nfts and I

bought a bunch myself just for fun never

trade Never released any token or crypto

coins and I left that project once the

game was open

sourced well there you go haters case

closed it was a fun little multi-million

dollar project he did he just built it

on Unreal Engine he may have sold a few

nfts but he bought a few nfts so you

know it's not a scam please don't look

into this please please do not look into

this is not a scam oh some people may

have looked into it

first Emily Shepard and then the writer

and podcaster Ed zitron jumped in The

Fray with a great article now I spoke to

Ed and he told me a very different story

than Jesse about this gamma project it's

so weird and it's the same company and

in 2021 they raised this 6 million and

then Jesse Lou across several hours of

Clubhouse I subjected myself to promised

the world and more now I have to say

promise the world and more is slightly

inconsistent with fun little covid

project so I decided I needed to listen

to these recordings of Jesse talking

about Gamma myself back in the day and

find out who was really telling the

truth Jesse or Jesse I don't want to

make GMA or none of us want to make GMA

as a hyp and dump program this is a

legit uh team with millions of dollars

of fundings behind basically we're

dumping millions of monies into it uh

just to make sure that uh it will be a

next level

experiences okay I have to admit it

definitely sounds like Ed is right this

is sold as whatever the opposite of a

quick nft hype and dump project is and

this is where things get much weirder so

nft is only just the beginning the very

beginning of this we probably think that

the N part will only take you know no

more than 20% of the entire weight of

this entire Bama project so after nft we

have this huge uh groundbreaking ideas

about Gamma verse then after that we

have this uh again huge groundbreaking

ideas about the clean energy versus

gamma coin uh and that you know uh the

the chances that gamma coin become the

first not only uh carbon neutral but

actually carbon negative crypto 2.0 or

Bitcoin 2.0 I think that's complete the

entire gamma story hopefully now you're

starting to see why I think it's strange

for Jesse to claim that gamma was a fun

little project where he never released

these tokens or crypto coins when that's

sort of what he promised he told people

he was going to release a carbon

negative Bitcoin 2.0 and look I know it

sounds stupid now but again 2021 was a

different time and remember Jesse had

millions in backing it's not hard to see

how people took him seriously he said it

didn't matter how the nfts did he was

going to execute cute but where are

those Millions you know the money raised

from customers when the company changed

to Rabbit where did it go did it go to

develop rabbit a completely different

project I don't know I'd love to sit

down with Jesse and find out what I do

know though is that so many of the

promises of gamma didn't happen and this

is relevant to the R1 not just because

this project is built on the skeleton of

that scam project it's also because the

R1 was overhyped in a similar way as a

Do-it all device but this same company

isn't some history lless company they

have a history of abandoning investors

like they did with gamma nfts I mean

Jesse even told people who were worried

about the nfts don't pay attention to

that you know it's all going to work out

you just got to be a true supporter I

would suggest for our true supporters uh

do not pay too much detail about the

current nft mechanisms because that

doesn't matter you know like I I can

safely say that even if the entire nft

project completely failed which I don't

think that's the case we're going to

still push the GMA verse and we can

still push the the uh the clean energy

and Gamma coin happen using our FS I

cannot emphasize enough that was a lie

that never happened the clean energy

gamma coin never got published or built

or launched even though Jesse said they

were going to do it they had the money

by the way we all know it's vaporware

but I think it's important to really

hear him sell it because this is the

same guy who wants you to take him

seriously when he sells you the future

of AI take a listen to the whole Vision

really laid out GMA coin which is

basically Bitcoin 2.0 that is 100%

generated by Clean Energy and we did the

mass we did the calculations to where if

you own over 1,800 M of clean energy

generation that means you will have

extra generated electricity that you can

donate back to City

grade so the general concept is let's

say if you own a GMA

nft that means you own the equal portion

in valuation of your nfts at that moment

of that clean energy grid that we

started building in the real world that

means you own that power that portion of

the clean energy solar panels that

generates that power and that means you

own that power and that also means that

you own that portion of that power and

that power will be used to generate

gamma coins that means you can

earn your gamma coins out of this entire

uh CLE energy cycle

all right let's try to suspend our

disbelief for a second here and figure

this out basically he's saying buying

nfts somehow would build a clean energy

grid which you would sort of co-own

which would make clean tokens sort of

the thing and and look I know that

sounds a little insane but the funny

thing is it's sort of the most sensible

part of this project because uh as I

learned that wasn't even close to the

end of it they were saying there was

going to be a storefront on I think

Fairfax Avenue across from Supreme in La

they were going to do a comic book they

claimed uh there's a Discord comic book

yeah they said a comic book a TV show an

MMO RPG and at one point yes and then

Jesse Lou at one point said that the

future of this thing you would control

using your brain logic it is insane am I

the only one who doesn't know what brain

logic control is look when I first heard

this I thought this cannot be right this

project is already crypto plus nfts plus

clean energy plus comic books surely

they aren't going to wrap in AI as well

right the ultimate goal is that each NPC

will be powered by uh AI algorithms and

then you will be interact directly with

them using your natural language and

your brain logic I think that will be

the ultimate goal and when I say

ultimate goal I don't think that's like

a 10 years plan I think you know in next

couple of years we might just have a

very good chance to achieve it oh oh he

did he promised it in two years okay

well uh why not toss in AI to the

buzzword salad in fact I guess it maybe

relates it more to Rabbit maybe we do

have the connection right the brain

logic interface is the

connection I I mean why not just make it

the Matrix while you're at it I mean it

surely is a matrix to my to my extent

and to the original concept of of the

Matrix that you know you will be rebor

reborned with your alter identity in

this metaverse and whatever you do in

the real world matches the exact

consequences in the digital world okay

did this man just do the if you die in

the game you die in real life

unironically while selling

nfts the answer is yes and my only

follow-up question is if you get scammed

in the metaverse do you get scammed in

real life in this world too look I'm not

here to stump for the big wig Venture

capitalists who lost their faces on this

at the end of the day these are both

consumer facing businesses they got real

people to invest real money into both

the $200 rabbit R1 and into this gamma

nft project both are overhyped one just

already didn't deliver what they

promised while the other is working on

fixing it so what can be done here well

for one the minimum is that the gamma

nft holders should be refunded the money

they spent I mean this isn't even my

crazy wacky suggestion Jesse suggested

it himself in those clubhous calls and I

better pay my money to collect your nft

back if you think this is just an nft

hype and dump project I have to say that

so the communities will have my words

anyone that is not envisioning the Gama

to the stage two or three just want to

make a a coup of e out of stage one

reach out to me I will buy your nfts

okay I will buy your gamas and get out

all right all right we'll take you up on

that yes I got a haircut so I reached

out again to Jesse about these refunds

but he didn't respond again the rabbit

team did though they told me Jesse would

not refund investors the quote was out

of context the project was never

abandoned it was actually op sourced

what does that mean well rabbit claims

the gamma team delivered everything they

promised in three stages the one problem

is the three stages they gave me aren't

the three stages they promised the

metaverse by the way they said they

created to is not a metaverse it's an

Unreal Engine project file that I

downloaded to play it's based on a

starter game called Lyra you can see the

starter assets here and the things gamma

did do made the game so buggy that it

crashed every minute but it gets worse

the rabbit team denied gamma ever

promised the carbon negative coin which

they repeatedly promised they said the

coin you referred to never materialized

nor was it ever promised or delivered

now obviously I thought I had a stroke

here I was listening to Jesse promis it

but also he even put it in a video

saying explaining gamma with our road

map ultimately our efforts will lead to

the GMA token the first ever carbon

negative cryptocurrency powered by our

son together we will create a

sustainable future for all life on the

planet we call home join the Discord

today and meet your fellow crew

members G I don't know how they could

have been more clear I think it's

amazing to have them say now we never

promised that only to find a road map

video with you promising in big letters

carbon negative cryptocurrency it's just

gaslighting at this point to pretend

otherwise what is funny is that rabbit

also mentions clean energy initiatives

they say they did like reducing gas fees

but again that's not what they promised

they promised a clean energy grid Jesse

also promised it on Discord his post was

in Chinese but he's clearly talking

about Open Sea transactions being used

to buy land to build the clean energy

grid which is going to help mine game of

coins which is exactly what he said on

clubhouse I mean these people are

contradicting themselves in multiple

languages so I'll let you decide at the

end of the day if the rabbit team is

being honest here towards the end they

even tried to tell me that gamma in our

opinion and as stated in the fact sheet

has no connection with rabbit but the

fact sheet they're talking about they

sent me in a document called gamma

project fact sheet you can't just

declare your own facts when it's the

same company who made both things the

rabbit and the gamma project how can you

say there's no connection but after

realizing no accountability would be

taken and no refunds would be given by

this project I began to feel bad for

gamma investors it made me wonder what

else is this team hiding

well I decided to find out
