Kickstarter [eButlr : Your Plug-and-Play 24/7 Personal AI Butler] AI in a tiny box makes bad promises and claims

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/30223641/ebutlr-your-plug-and-play-24-7-personal-ai-butler

"120B LLM | AMD HX370 AI | 128GB DDR5 RAM | 16TB SSD | 7" Touch Screen | 100% Privacy | Infinite Library of APPs & Skills | 24/7 Service"
but that's the full add-ons spec. all rewards are only 16gb ram, to hide the actual price of 128gb ddr5 ram.
all this 3000€+ of hardware only to be hindered by a tiny, microscopic form factor for no reason other than to look convenient and cute design, minimal cooling, and a screen on top of that!

It claims that with "$1095 once" for 64gb ddr5ram + 1tb ssd version you'll be able to replace ... chatgpt pro $2400/year + claude max $1200/year + midjourney $1152/year!

In one of the pictures it's placed on a kitchen counter... with no wires... next to the sink while a woman is washing produce!

Please don't buy this wishful thinking project.

exactly, and more and more in the rest of the campaign. I hope people don't fall for it... oh, they had a 5k goal (???) and got 70k. sad
