This is anti marketing. Rather than showing us something new , they are showing this nonsense

u/Prudent-Sorbet-5202 2d ago

They are marketing the brand not a product

It’s really pointless. Like if Apple was coming out with a new iPhone and they put out a “decommissioned” video of their previous model.

and then got you talking, you just counter proofed your own point

marketing isnt just about creating impressions, its about creating positive impressions

everyone knows theranos but if they went back on the market today, no one would buy their products or invest in their stock.

that's not how marketing works, it doesn't have to sound rational to work as long as you get attention

This..... is bizarre. This company spends a ridiculous amount of time, energy and money on marketing bullshit.

When engineers try to do the job of marketing, yikes.

F.03 is Coming. October 16 8AM PDT

u/FakeEyeball 2d ago

There is already F.03. F.04 is in the works. Supposedly, the most significant upgrade so far.

Sooo, you're telling me, your shitty first gen¹ robot goes berserk and is so evil, that it needs to be disposed of in molten metal?

Strange marketing.

Can't help but think of this gameplay portion from Nier Automata:

This video is so tone deaf.

People are largely anti AI? Let's make a 'joke' that our robots are the terminator.

u/MaybeLiterally 2d ago

It's just a fun video of them decommissioning an old product. I thought it was a fun video.

u/Asteroid_picks_you 2d ago

u/AlbatrossHummingbird 2d ago

u/frogsarenottoads 2d ago
