Why Would I Buy This Useless, Evil Thing?
There's no need for an AI device
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

I wish someone made a small internet connected pocket computer with a touchscreen or something so I don't have to carry around all these gizmos.
If only teenage engineering would work on fixing the playdate hardware, specifically the crank issues, before moving on to something like this :/
What crank issues are there? My main complaint is that I can’t turn it off, so it just sits there slowly draining itself of battery. When I finally feel like playing it every couple of weeks, it always needs to be charged. And when you go to plug it in, you get no feedback that it’s actually charging until the battery gets enough power to turn on the screen, which takes up to 20 mins. By which time, I’m no longer in the mood to fiddle with it.
Especially since it's named after a vibrator...
I thought it was a neat device. Or at least, the prototype of what a future neat device could be. Why so angry?
I'm so glad the article mentioned the play date, because that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Shame it's more AI garbage
