I like this framing about the Rabbit R1:

Humane’s AI Pin followed that trajectory almost exactly, discontinued in early 2025 after HP acquired the company. The R1 did not follow it, though the reasons why have less to do with any brilliant pivot than with stubbornness, incremental software updates, and a fair amount of luck.

Do not underestimate stubbornness and incremental updates. That’s practically my whole strategy.
