@cnetdotcom: What could it be? 🤔 Famed former Apple designer Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have been working in secret on a screenless device that uses artificial intelligence technology. But what does it look like? How does it work? We still don’t know, but the two dropped a few hints recently at Emerson Collective’s 2025 Demo Day in conversation with Laurene Powell Jobs. The AI project is said to have a more peaceful feel than some modern devices, although it’s not entirely clear what that means. Altman said that most devices and apps he uses today are noisy and unsettling, but the upcoming device will have a calmer vibe.  “I hope when people see it they just say, ‘That’s it,’ “ Altman said, to which Ive added, “They will.” Ive said that most products don’t have a sense of humor and take themselves too seriously. Altman said he hadn’t realized until he saw the most recent prototype, “how much that just doesn’t exist and how lovely it is to have some whimsy back.”  #samaltman #jonyive #io #openai #prototype

Instigator :

Jony Ive doesn’t have the same polished focus without Steve Jobs around.

jumpman47474 :

I’d be nice if ai didn’t exist. If it’s not making people’s lives better, what is the point?

Happy Dude :

Dogfish :

IVE , Copied everything from Dieter Rams

Savage Meerkat :

I’ve tried out Google Gemini…OpenAi is cooked!

Nick :

Vaporware

Steve :

CNET could have noted that they are speaking with Laurene Powell Jobs…

Sabin Karki :

It’s glorified AirPods with ChatGPT; it’s not going to be anywhere close to as useful as an iPhone which is their hope

Tyrus_Rexs :

It’s a pay phone

Christianhollings :

jetstream :

I can’t stand the smug presentation style any more.

Sean Bernhoit :

There is no consumer product

realnostalgicdad :

It’s audio

PinonXO :

Pause, because Laurene looks amazing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Carter_P :

What about a necklace with camera on it, like a choker with a camera in the center?

bothadeezz :

Greys Club :

So it’s an Alexa dot you can bring to the shops with you.

Diptyqueroses :

Ugh why is Laurene involved in this

James Rice :

Sounds like we could just take a damn walk

Apple User458666 :

It’s a necklace wearable. I would like a floating hover ball that follows me around that one could interact with,not a necklace wearable. Imagine if you’re a female and you want to run in natures wilderness you can have the hover ball zoom up into the air to see heat signatures if there is danger lurking ahead and notify you. And show you the video of that individual. It can dial 911 for you if you get into any danger. It can be your sidekick 24/7. You want to try on a new dress, it could show you a hologram of yourself in that new attire instead of you trying on many outfits. You can fold this hover ball into your pocket and take it on the go. Would you buy this instead of OpenAI wearable ?
