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

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 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/ …
