  • Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
  • AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

The difference here is Ubuntu is open about the fact that stand on the shoulders of something greater than them.

R1 in contrast pretend that everything they've built is proprietary, and therefore no one could possibly come up with something similar.

When it's clearly not the case.

This is critical, not for the purpose of sales, but for the purpose of retaining investor value.

The whole thing reeks of an exercise to generate artificial investor value.

If investors find out that their so-called innovation can actually be done by anyone with some coding skills and connectivity to open AI, then the company value will drop like a hot turd.
