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
truth be told, the only reason I would be even remotely interested in the device is the stupid laser projector. Seems like that might be fun to play with.
Yes! I remember experiments with similar projectors and interfaces like this device going back at least as far as the early 2010s. Would be fun to mess with.
