It got a $200 price cut.

They can’t sell the $699 AI party trick that requires a $24 subscription so they slashed the price to $499. Unfortunately it’s still $500 too expensive for what’s worth.

Maybe at $10 someone could buy it as a Halloween costume prop and even pay a whole month of subscription just to show off the novelty

    At what price point would this device be useful? Seems like the sort of device that was made to allow the company to be bought by Google/Microsoft/Meta.

      It’ll probably be a brick in a few months, when the company goes bankrupt and the servers it relies on get shut down. So even getting it for free would be too expensive.

      given that it’s horribly bad at what it claims to do and was a fire risk? not even a zero point.

          Yeah that’d be cool if the opened it up and recreate it as a platform for people to mess around with it. Like a rPi or Arduino or something. Because in it’s current form…pretty much useless. But you’re right; they’d have to drop that price point significantly and incentivize people even if it were open.
