Floki and Rice Robotics Unleash AI Minibot, Because What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

What to know:

  • Rice Robotics and Floki have birthed the Minibot M1, an AI companion with all the charm of a robotic butler, minus the actual manners.
  • Floki, never one to miss a blockchain party, is tokenizing its brand and AI data marketplace through a sibling project, TokenFi—because why own things when you can own digital ghosts?
  • The AI robotics market is gearing up to balloon from a modest $22 billion to an eye-popping $100 billion by 2030, putting Rice Robotics squarely on the rocket ship bound for “fortune” (or chaos).

In a move that might tickle or terrify your inner technophile, Rice Robotics and the dog-themed crypto crusader Floki have conspired to release the Minibot M1. This AI-powered companion will prance about on the RICE AI platform, flaunting its Floki badge like a lapdog that actually bites back.

Floki, evidently thirsty for blockchain dominance, will shepherd this venture by tokenizing not only its own brand but the entire AI data marketplace through TokenFi. It’s a family affair, backed by loyal Floki enthusiasts hoping their digital pups fetch more than just sticks.

“The AI robotics market currently lumbers along at $22 billion,” quoth the Floki cabal over Telegram, “soon to roar towards a staggering $100 billion by 2030. Rice Robotics? Oh, they’re primed for the future – or whatever passes for it.”

RICE AI, with its glittering clientele—Nvidia, Softbank, Dubai’s Future Foundation (not to be confused with the past), Mitsui Fudosan, NTT Japan, and 7-Eleven (yes, the place selling slurpees)—secured over $7 million in pre-Series A funding from an agreeable collection of investors, including Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Soul Capital, and Audacy Ventures. One wonders how many robots you can clothe with seven million dollars.

This enterprising band of algorithms wishes to make robots “smarter” by enabling them to trade and share top-notch training data freely, forging a world where machines operate independently, unshackled from human nonsense. Sounds eerily hopeful or deliciously dystopian, depending on your disposition.

Meanwhile, FLOKI prices have sprinted up by 16% in the last 24 hours, cheering amid a crypto market bounce. One might say the dogs are fetching some rather unexpected returns. 🐕💸
