the introductions thread! 👋

Thanks for visiting the rabbit forum! Please feel free to introduce yourself here.

I’ll start!

I’m Simon, Community Strategist at rabbit. I’m from the UK, spent many years as a professional musician and have been working in the tech space for almost a decade, including as an early employee of Monzo, the most prominent fintech banking app in the UK, and later as a Senior Community Manager at Twitter 1.0 (until the company was sold).

I like funk, hip-hop, electronic and rock music - my favorite artists of all time are Prince, Michael Jackson, Nirvana and Tupac amongst others, and I love travelling. When I’m not travelling, I like playing videogames - mostly PS5 and Switch!

Hey guys, glad to be here! I’m justin, aka justjustincrow, and now dotjustin. Looks like @xenwow was here first but this is my mark!

I’ve been pretty active in the discord for a while now, and am very excited about the potential rabbit holds.

Fun fact about me is that I was the winner of the art contest, and I’m currently developing superpowers for r1!

Hi Everyone!

rooski is my nickname (given to me by my grandfather) my actual name is Connor. Im a big rabbit and r1 fan and I’m stoked to be here.

I’m from upstate New York. I work as an Account Manager for a marketing and tech company called linqd. I’m deeply fascinated by AI and machine learning and hope to one day orient my career snd creative drive towards these fields. I play piano and produce music in my home studio. I love music of all types… seriously. Some days I find myself listening to smooth jazz, experimental electronic music, indie rock, and hip hop/rap in the same day. I’m a lover of all arts and try to travel and experience new things as much as I can!

Looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better. :v:t2:

I’m Chris from the Discord. I’m a data management coordinator and master data analyst for an integrated technology solutions company that has only just begun to dip their toes into the world of AI and LLMs.

I have several 3D printers (and even make some cases on Etsy for the R1) for one of many, many hobbies.

Hey guys, I’m Ben. I work in the AI&ML software space mainly with the FTSE 100, helping them tune and optimise, reduce costs, and increase efficiency within big data platforms like databircks, spark on Kubernetes and other big data distributions. I have worked in tech for 15+ years, so I have a solid understanding of how hard the challenge rabbit has set itself and what they are trying to build. :slight_smile:

Outside of work, I’m a gamer, surprise, surprise, and I love motorbikes with big engines!

Brian here. Living in Ireland and often travel to Estonia where my long term girlfriend is from. Working as a wedding film maker https://houseofren.ie

Probably one of the biggest haters of r1 asking tough questions but all that changed when I got it into hand day one. Even so early in development I found myself using it way more than I thought id use.

Used it to quickly look up keyboard shortcuts while learning davinci resolve
Used it a lot in Estonia as a translator. I was able to talk to family for the first time in 15 years. It was especially game changer in a pharmacy to explain my hay fever symptoms and make sure medicine given was non drowsy.

Id like to see voice used to changed settings so we dont have to five into the menu for things eg audio level.
I’d also like to see a real time translator feature so I can have an earphone in and listen to the conversation of family members. I see this useful at a conference in a different language and maybe looking up info on a YouTube clip looking for info or learning something.

Currently would like to see a focus move away from LAM in its current form or at least till something genuinely useful comes out. Id like to see it released only when it’s working.

Genuinely love the r1. Because its simply a single push of a button to get to what you want to do it beats using a LLM on a phone, it also beats the meta glasses when you want people around you to hear the answers.

Keep up the great work team and excited for the future

Hey everyone, clearly I’m one of those early adopter types. I’m a professional Community Manager.

In 2023 I had a stroke and while I have no longer term effects from it, it’s made me paranoid about my memory, and I’m hoping to us my r1 as a second brain.
