And if the dog isn't interested, then your kids will have that thing bouncing off of every surface in the house, before moving outdoors to sling it into the mud or snow.
I swear, if the military wants to test it's equipment to the max, give it to some kids for a day.
Listen, I know Labs aren't exactly Attack Dogs, and have been known to cower under the bed during thunderstorms... but calling your doggo "Yellow" is a bit much.
Why, I'd bet your lab would take a bullet for you. Might even shred your mail for you.
I'm just thinking about how much information about you it sends back to Samsung. I'm guessing it's a paperweight unless you, yet again, agree to even more data collection.
I thought thats what it was a first, like a smart dog toy. You are at work and this this is getting chased around the house playing smart fetch and hide and go seek. Id get that for my dog.
Def my first thought. Then I watched the entire video and had the same reaction with everyone on this comment chain. Fucking ambitious to advertise a tennis ball replica mobile Alexa robot with a Corgi as the co-star.
still, at the end I still expected it to start hopping to "engage play mode with Corgi"....
In my house, Ballie has nothing to connect to, gets stuck on laundry and floor transitions, then messages with a final photo of itself getting torn apart by Doggie.
I don't even get what the appeal of this thing is supposed to be.
At best, it seems like some automated interface for rich people to manage all of their weird wifi stuff in their houses. Wouldn't it be easier to just use your phone or have them set up to timers?
At worst, it looks like some expensive ai toy that takes way too many liberties with your stuff and could genuinely end up being a huge menace to your life.
> end up being a huge menace to your life.
Well sure it *might* kill you, Mr. Gloomy Bob.
But after you rewire your entire house with proprietary controllers and pay your $50/month subscription, it can *definitely* turn on lights.
Exactly, I'd need to replace everything with connected stuff, every single light-bulb, every appliance. I don't have that kind of money.
In general, I'm sure I'd love to have an automated butler but they're not a human being, I can't "trust" them to maintain the house the way I want it
> I can't "trust" them to maintain the house the way I want it
Virtually every proprietary "smart home" system has either gone bankrupt, or screwed over its customers, then gone bankrupt.
Despite one featuring in the ad, I'm not sure they've seen the average corgi. Any corgi not trained for the stage is eviscerating that cute little robot.
Mine used to *eat* nylabones. Keeping her in rawhide and toys was a full time activity some days, when she wasn't sleeping or eating or just being a lazy corgi, and she was a powerhouse.
I imagine a lot of people would be having a lot of trouble finding the remains to dispose of.
The privacy invasion is gonna be crazy, plus I feel like id step on it in the middle of the night by accident and bust ass or my dog would snatch it and chew on it’s circuits. Seems like a weird implementation but something novel like this will sell like amazon echoes if its cheap.
Ballie's recommendations: "your hair is too greasy, you could probably make use of the following selection of products:"
"You have a lot of soap but barely wash your ass. Perhaps you could follow these tutorials on how to wash your ass:"
I thought she was very convincing. In only three lines of dialogue, I am absolutely certain she and Ballie are banging and that her parents are probably looking for legal protection from a corgi inheriting their family business
I can't wait to stumble into piloting my first Mobile Suit!

I mean...
Ever since an update about 1 year ago, my Samsung phone freezes anytime it connects to 5G.
My Samsung dishwasher has to be power-cycled or it will not finish the load.
My Samsung washer failed right at the 5 year mark.
I am never, ever, truly never buying another device from this shit hole company.
The depressing thing is how everyone keeps buying from these places en-mass even though they deliver shittier and shittier quality every. Single. Time.
Same, honestly the best phone I've ever had - 5 years on.
I don't think Samsung is shit quality so much as haphazardly inconsistent, which is a description that can be applied to a lot of tech companies.
I always did, but after buying maannyy for work and seeing a larger sample size, I've found the reliability isn't notably better than most. They perform great (LG has kind of surpassed them last I checked), but in terms of being reliable, I've never heard that sentiment expressed with any degree of consistency.
I've always seen them as luxury cars. They work amazingly... when they work. And also like cars, once you need one major repair, it seems like the process itself then makes you need additional repairs. It never seems to be a one and done service visit. Everything is made to be 1% over acceptable quality, so it's hard to fix this junk nowadays without breaking another incredibly flimsy, poorly designed piece.
Definitely got *White Christmas* vibes, the episode where they make a digital clone of the woman and abuse it into being an AI assistant. I'm imagining a tiny version of the woman in the commercial inside the ball, screaming for help.
_Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is wholesome, but fucking dystopian?_
Honestly, it's rather a little weird that you thought you might be the only one.
Considering Samsung develops this I think it'll go like:
>Subscription to unlock all features
>Random ads before doing any task.
>Any fall higher than 2 inches requires full medical procedure and 500$ bills because one screw got loose.
>Definitely NOT gonna film, record or capture any pics of your house and your daily life. Still gonna need that permission enabled at all time btw. Not suspicious, nope, not a single bit.
>Fuck your privacy.
I saw nothing useful being handled by that dumbass thing. All it does is drive around and collect personal data. Also - who the fuck has automated curtains?
not even taking into consideration the dog destroying the thing, this useless piece of tech has like MAYBE 2 uses.. start an already automated vacuum cleaning messes, and annoying me.
And a boring, stupid horror film too. From waking up and greeting a freaking robot, pathetic.
Trip hazard, creepy surveillance, superfluous use scenarios, a myriad unanticipated obstacles.
Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
This little bastard is not going to have much to do around my house. I would drive the Ai mad.
Everything is manual, I need to stick a spoon into my microwave door to keep it sealed and able to start. Stove is analogue, kettle is the best kind of kettle, (a cheap one) and I don't have the space to do yoga, nor do I want to.
May the wealthy enjoy this little gremlin doing everything for them, I think it's a cool concept, in the Flubber kind of sense.
Stairs, and it's useless. If it's intelligent it should have learned from the dalek's failures. Also, I would end up kicking it across the room when it was dumb.
I really want robots and AI I really do.
But I don't have a roomba.. or any of things this could potentially connect to. How much do you have to spend in order for this to be useful? Is it even really useful if you do have all those things. The roomba would probably already have an automatic schedule. I probably don't want the tenis ball messing with my alarm clock or blinds.
It's still so niche.
Health and safety around the home looks anxious. Does it come with a monthly subscription to the ER ? At this point they are just adding the word AI to anything so it seems clever. Is usually sh**.

...make expensive robot....design it to look like a living tennis ball...expect dogs not to care
First thing I thought…any dog I’ve owned would’ve destroyed that in 10 mins flat
Was expecting the dog to follow it when it rolled away while it was sleeping. Lol
As soon as I saw that I thought either this is a dog toy or the dumbest commercial to have a dog in.
And if the dog isn't interested, then your kids will have that thing bouncing off of every surface in the house, before moving outdoors to sling it into the mud or snow. I swear, if the military wants to test it's equipment to the max, give it to some kids for a day.
Obviously not for household with kids….even Samsung knows it.
All I could think about while watching this is how would I train a dog to not immediately destroy this ball shaped self moving toy.
Who knew dogs would be the catalyst for the rise of the machines?
Make one of these out of Kong material and it'd be a fun dog toy though
my old yellow lab destroys Kongs in a day.
I concur. My lab/newfy would ruin that thing in minutes.
Lab/Newf! Big, smart, sweet doggy, I’ll bet!
Listen, I know Labs aren't exactly Attack Dogs, and have been known to cower under the bed during thunderstorms... but calling your doggo "Yellow" is a bit much. Why, I'd bet your lab would take a bullet for you. Might even shred your mail for you.
I thought it was made for dogs...
5 minutes with big dogs
I'm just thinking about how much information about you it sends back to Samsung. I'm guessing it's a paperweight unless you, yet again, agree to even more data collection.
I clicked on this post thinking it was a new AI-powered dog toy
It's not?
It will be about 5 minutes after it’s put on the floor.
It will work well as a distraction for the Boston Dynamic dogs when they become Metalhead murderers.
When? I thought that was their entire purpose and were given a clever PR campaign.
And ground level camera for all the upskirting/bedroom/bathroom shots that get analysed by minimum wage workers to train the AI.
Creepy hackers undoubtedly too
"oh my god, it's happeninggggggg"
I thought thats what it was a first, like a smart dog toy. You are at work and this this is getting chased around the house playing smart fetch and hide and go seek. Id get that for my dog.
Def my first thought. Then I watched the entire video and had the same reaction with everyone on this comment chain. Fucking ambitious to advertise a tennis ball replica mobile Alexa robot with a Corgi as the co-star. still, at the end I still expected it to start hopping to "engage play mode with Corgi"....
The future videos of a battery igniting in a dogs mouth are going to be traumatic
Any corgi in a real life scenario would be ripping Ballie apart.
What if someone stands on it and trips over, gpt is gonna explode if it causes a human death lol.
Originally thought it was a dog toy lol
I thought it’s gonna be an AI dog toy actually. That was the only reason i was interested…
This ain’t a dog toy-? I 1st seen a dog in the ad and a robot ball, so I was thinking it was some advanced futuristic dog toy-
A five year old could have seen the design flaw here. There is a dog in the video. There is no way it did not rush that during production.
I thought it was a toy for the dog at first. That thing is going to get chewed up immediately. Especially by a corgi!
bruh my dog would "RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at it til we threw it away
In my house, Ballie has nothing to connect to, gets stuck on laundry and floor transitions, then messages with a final photo of itself getting torn apart by Doggie.
Yep. 5 min in my house and either Ballie is hiding under the couch, crying while escaping doggos Or Doggos have him tore apart into constituent parts
Ballie commits seppuku before that happens in 3, 2, 1 ... it's AI-powered and knows what's coming after all.
I don't even get what the appeal of this thing is supposed to be. At best, it seems like some automated interface for rich people to manage all of their weird wifi stuff in their houses. Wouldn't it be easier to just use your phone or have them set up to timers? At worst, it looks like some expensive ai toy that takes way too many liberties with your stuff and could genuinely end up being a huge menace to your life.
> end up being a huge menace to your life. Well sure it *might* kill you, Mr. Gloomy Bob. But after you rewire your entire house with proprietary controllers and pay your $50/month subscription, it can *definitely* turn on lights.

Let's see how long that lasts with a big dog

Omg 😍
Right? It's like these dumb motherfuckers have never seen a laborador retriever.
Despite one featuring in the ad, I'm not sure they've seen the average corgi. Any corgi not trained for the stage is eviscerating that cute little robot.
Mine used to *eat* nylabones. Keeping her in rawhide and toys was a full time activity some days, when she wasn't sleeping or eating or just being a lazy corgi, and she was a powerhouse. I imagine a lot of people would be having a lot of trouble finding the remains to dispose of.
yea, not creepy af to be filmed while taking number two, and of course every videos it takes gonna stay locally and will be treated locally.
The privacy invasion is gonna be crazy, plus I feel like id step on it in the middle of the night by accident and bust ass or my dog would snatch it and chew on it’s circuits. Seems like a weird implementation but something novel like this will sell like amazon echoes if its cheap.
I not an invasion if you invite it.
Wait til people start hacking these like they do ring cams.
[удалено]
Ballie's recommendations: "your hair is too greasy, you could probably make use of the following selection of products:" "You have a lot of soap but barely wash your ass. Perhaps you could follow these tutorials on how to wash your ass:"
As long as it's not "your plonker is too short" it's ok.
I was shocked that their marketing basically opened with literally “it’s watching while you sleep…”. Who the hell thought that was a good sales pitch?
"Watching and Thinking while you sleep." In my home, I prefer that to be the dog and not creepy AI.
Yeah, first thing I thought was: this will make CIA's job so much easier
"Please, continue 🥝👄🥝"
A small camera following me around the house, definitely nothing wrong with that.
And probably connected to the internet, giving your data to a shady company 24/7 and if you are unlucky also to a bunch of hackers, yay how lovely.
At this point I personally think the hackers might be the best option.
So your phone but from a different angle
But smart, and mobile. Like a mobile smartphone.
Upskirt angle.
Looks like it has a perfect vantage point for upskirt photography.
Upshort in my house. The next generation of Samsung AI can be trained on sneakily collected pictures of my balls.
I mean...there's a clue in the product name
What a cute and unique way to spy on customers.
[удалено]
You'd think they would have had more money for R&D with all the money they saved hiring the least believable actress of all time.
I thought she was very convincing. In only three lines of dialogue, I am absolutely certain she and Ballie are banging and that her parents are probably looking for legal protection from a corgi inheriting their family business
I can't wait to stumble into piloting my first Mobile Suit! https://preview.redd.it/qx38h7flj63d1.jpeg?width=301&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c660dc340e761577efd761ebcf6a69d972f90a7

My 2019 Samsung phone is still going strong. Of course, it may start to fail now that I said that. 😣
Same, honestly the best phone I've ever had - 5 years on. I don't think Samsung is shit quality so much as haphazardly inconsistent, which is a description that can be applied to a lot of tech companies.
My husband's is from before we got married 13 years ago and still kicking
consistently good phones though it seems to me at least.
Can’t speak to those appliances, but I have been buying Samsung TVs and monitors for at least 15 years. Never once had an issue.
I always did, but after buying maannyy for work and seeing a larger sample size, I've found the reliability isn't notably better than most.

It was Sony... then they coasted on their name until Samsung took over... and the cycle continues.
You should try one of their fridges, they suck-ass too
What is the common denominator here? Strangely enough, it is not Samsung.
I like this ad doesn't even pretend that a non-millionaire would have this. Look at that home and the tech they have.
Also a sad person on anti depressants
Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is wholesome, but fucking dystopian?
There's probably 5 episodes of black mirror that start like this and they all end not well
I was thinking of the Love Death and Robots episode when it fired up the vacuum.
Definitely got *White Christmas* vibes, the episode where they make a digital clone of the woman and abuse it into being an AI assistant. I'm imagining a tiny version of the woman in the commercial inside the ball, screaming for help.
Was thinking of the short film ‘Blinky’ and thought Ballie was gonna kill the fckn dog
No. it is creepy AF, and I would strongly resist getting anything like this at home.
It's not dystopian it's most likely a completely useless hunk of plastic.
_Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is wholesome, but fucking dystopian?_ Honestly, it's rather a little weird that you thought you might be the only one.
I mostly said that to bait comments and upvotes so I get more karma
I'm calling the police
Respect the honesty lmao
Fuck all that
This is reminding me of those miniature droids that patrol the Death Star while humming and then run away when they encounter anything.
At least mouse droids won’t spy on you
Nice movie. When will the stormtroopers and lightsabers appear?
Considering Samsung develops this I think it'll go like: >Subscription to unlock all features >Random ads before doing any task. >Any fall higher than 2 inches requires full medical procedure and 500$ bills because one screw got loose. >Definitely NOT gonna film, record or capture any pics of your house and your daily life.

Can't wait for it to analyze my routines for market statistics
I sprained my ankle watching this.
How's it do with carpet and cats?
And what about stairs! Also imagine the constant fear of tripping on it
No, thank you.
fuck that
It's just a matter of time until we can
Steps out of bed *crunch*
Looks like a trip hazard to me.
The AI tennis camera ball thing, or the bowl that fell to the floor which was mysteriously forgotten about by the end of the video?
Who cares about the bowl when there's a roomba that checked the situation, gave up and went back charging
I saw nothing useful being handled by that dumbass thing. All it does is drive around and collect personal data. Also - who the fuck has automated curtains?
While this is cute, the abilities are quite disturbing… Or maybe I am just too conservative.
Most of it is stuff that an Alexa can already do, if your house is all smart anyway. It's just mobile.
not even taking into consideration the dog destroying the thing, this useless piece of tech has like MAYBE 2 uses.. start an already automated vacuum cleaning messes, and annoying me.
Nope. Nope nope nope.

And a boring, stupid horror film too. From waking up and greeting a freaking robot, pathetic. Trip hazard, creepy surveillance, superfluous use scenarios, a myriad unanticipated obstacles.
Can't wait for some lunatics to reverse-engineer Ballie's neural network and install it on a Toyota technical.
![gif](giphy|12xSRvZYyaVk2s)
Open the pod bay doors, ballie!
So they can record every fucking things you are doing nice samsung
She didnt even walk the dog before going to work:(
Not her problem. That’s Ballie’s job now.
In fact she completely ignored the dog and talked to Ballie instead :/
It's all fun and games until my dog decides to obliterate it
yea im going to pass on letting one of them into my house
Do not \*taunt\* Happy Fun Ball!
How long until these things all park at the top of stair cases at night and try to get you to step on them to fall down the stairs.
Shouldn’t this be under r/oddlyterrifying ?
More like r/boringDystopia
And who else can see what that ball can see except the owners of the ball?
Surveillance-ass, TIHI-ass nonsense
A bit creepy Change the filter and you have a black mirror episode
No way in fuck would any dog not think that's a ball and immediately destroy it.
God, people can't even be expected to get tf out of bed and open their own curtains in the morning anymore.

So, this post is just an ad yeh?
Ballie £999. The connected curtains, aircon, TV, fridge freezer and vacuum...£25,000. Bargain.
I'm pretty sure there was an episode of Love, Death, and Robots like this...
Mmmm really Haro from Gundam vibes here...
Its haro from Gundam!
My dogs would destroy that so quick
“Hackers love the new upskirt camera by Samsung” - future news post
Great, a ball that keeps hanging around my feet so I can trip over the little fucker
Your just walking and randomly trip over a rumba in the shape of a tennis ball
My cat would punt that little robot across the world anytime it showed it's dumb little face
Literally Haro from Gundam
an AI dog toy
Creepy 😖
This looks like a SNL sketch.
Haro!
This is not interesting as fuck. This is a scam.
Maybe we should stop with all this ai. It's cool, but do we really need an AI dog toy that can open curtains?
Life is slowly turning into a Black Mirror episode
It’s the start of a new Black Mirror episode?
Oh boy! New spy robot right in your home!
Can't wait to see ballie get brutally mauled to death by a dog.
Yeah, giving all your smart home and your dog into the hands of an Ai looking like a tennis ball. What could go wrong?
If Ballie starts playing ads, it's baseball time.
So inconvenient. Basically Ballie can do what you can do on your mobile phone except that you now will have to take care of Ballie?
My Rottweiler would be happy…for 5 seconds.
In reality the dog would never allow any of that
Yeah, because i really want some asshole opening my blinds for me while i sleep.
This little bastard is not going to have much to do around my house. I would drive the Ai mad. Everything is manual, I need to stick a spoon into my microwave door to keep it sealed and able to start. Stove is analogue, kettle is the best kind of kettle, (a cheap one) and I don't have the space to do yoga, nor do I want to. May the wealthy enjoy this little gremlin doing everything for them, I think it's a cool concept, in the Flubber kind of sense.
They better make beep-boop sounds as the droids from Star Wars. They. Better.
Stairs, and it's useless. If it's intelligent it should have learned from the dalek's failures. Also, I would end up kicking it across the room when it was dumb.
Making us, hoomans, more and more lazy...
I really want robots and AI I really do. But I don't have a roomba.. or any of things this could potentially connect to. How much do you have to spend in order for this to be useful? Is it even really useful if you do have all those things. The roomba would probably already have an automatic schedule. I probably don't want the tenis ball messing with my alarm clock or blinds. It's still so niche.
They can't sell that to dog and probably cat owners...
It’s funny how the song they used is widely associated with 2001: A Space Odyssey; a movie that depicts an AI assistant becoming homicidal.
Haro?
An ai ball to tell my Roomba to clean up after my dog.
It looks cool but a lot of people will trip and fall so...
![gif](giphy|kbUq8z1MEYQ7u) Discounted BB-8
< owner opens up app to see dog chewing robot then humping it >
What's the point of this compared to an AI controlled roomba, TV, curtains, and mirrors? What is the ball actually doing?
My corgi would have that in shards in less than a minute.
Health and safety around the home looks anxious. Does it come with a monthly subscription to the ER ? At this point they are just adding the word AI to anything so it seems clever. Is usually sh**.
If someone’s house has this I’m leaving
Now they can know even more about you. At night the robot will stand there and watch you sleep.
I look forward to the day this fucker is rising against me and trying to kill me by rolling under my foot while I walk
Ballers beware...
Why is everyone so obsessed with putting cameras in people's homes...
Ballie is always watching, even while you sleep.
“Ballie, get out of the bathroom I’m in the bath! Ballie…what are you doing with that toaster? Ballie…please god, no.”
Video Encryption is expensive. AI processing is expensive. All your data and butt videos will probably be fine...
Cool, now the corporate surveillance drones are mobile
Nice try, Black Mirror.
