It's a company.

And essentially, they say that their goal is to support elderly care.

The panda has some high tech sensors all over its body, so it reacts naturally when you touch it.

It's quote unquote, emotional AI remembers your voice, how you interact, what you like.

So the longer you spend time with it.

The more personalized it gets, apparently, it is an emotional support stuffed animal, is what they say, to combat loneliness.

And if you are struggling with your memory, it can help keep you engaged and remind you about daily tasks and keeps caregivers in the loop about your well-being.

So if you have this thing all the time and you're sitting there complaining about something, when your caregiver comes, it can, like, tell the caregiver what's going on.

Like...

I see it feels like they're trying to do a good thing with this.

It seems sad to me that we have to resort to AI stuffed animals for elderly folks to keep them company if they're struggling with loneliness.

I mean, if there's no other option, then perhaps this is a tool that could be useful in some sort of good way.

But to me, it seems sad that this would be an option and there's not like a person that could spend time with them.

The next one that I thought was sort of ridiculous is a $500 ice cube maker that uses AI to reduce noise.

Now, I love a ice cube maker just as much as the next person when you have these ice cube makers that have, you know, ice that is perfect for crunching your teeth without breaking your teeth.

And I'm speaking as someone who has cracked a tooth in half on a date at a Japanese restaurant before.

It was very embarrassing because, you know, there's this massive ice cube I was chewing on in my water.

So I really do like these

these ice cube makers where they make those really crunchy, small ice cubes.

I think they're fantastic.
