Jony Ive, the renowned designer of the iPhone, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have been discussing building a new AI hardware device …

    These aspiring tech platform companies... always with the “we need to build a phone”... jeez https://www.theinformation.com/ ...

    What I find so interesting abt this story is that it makes sense. If AI is going to change everything, it is going to change how consumers interact with devices. AR/VR will be part of it but makes sense that there could be more and that these 3 (or 2) don't want to sit out.

    If Sam has financial interests in other companies that are very long-AGI progress, then his 0% stake in OpenAI is less reassuring.

    there's an opportunity for a new device that is mostly audio interface, ambient, and powered by an AI assistant. hope this isn't a phone, and more like a next gen airpod or speaker

    New: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and iPhone designer Jony Ive have been discussing building a new AI hardware device, with SoftBank's Masayoshi Son also taking part in the talks, @Jessicalessin and @steph_palazzolo report https://www.theinformation.com/ ...

    Sam Altman is a low key assassin.
  • @nickarner Nick Arner on x
    Fascinating to see this play out; especially since Humane's apparently building their device with an open ai partnership (and sama's an investor in them, and their leadership used to work with Ive)...

    This is why I can't take sick days 🤦‍♂️ Alluded to this possibility last March: [image]

    High certainty Apple Vision is not the next major computing platform

    This only makes sense as a data play, right? Sell a few million ChatGPT wearables and build a Tesla-like fleet for model training?

    File this under headlines that sound fake but are true: Designer Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman Discuss AI Hardware Project What AI hardware will Ive need to give input on? A Humane competitor? Personal home AI server? Maybe Sam wanted a new designer after WorldCoin's...

    Fact: My favorite fancy shoes were thrown in the bath this evening while reporting this story that Ive and Altman (and Masa to a lesser degree) are up to something new in hardware. A small sacrifice. Will keep adding to it once the kids go to bed. https://www.theinformation.com/ …
