Submission Statement: Jony Ive, the guy who helped design the iPhone, is now teaming up with OpenAI after they bought his company for $6.5 billion.
They want to build totally new AI devices—something better than just using ChatGPT on a phone or laptop.
I’m wondering what kind of product would actually make AI feel natural to use?
don’t expect any app you build to not be stolen and resold you better milk the hell outta whatever junky wrapper or prompt you develop deep seek likely mining your prompts the more often a prompt is used they pass on that prompt to a product development team that then either blocks api access for you, degrades access/quality of your results to hide this and launch their own product or subsidiary that you have no clue is associated with the owners but is owned through some offshore network of companies that own companies.
Those who think this is nonsense don’t understand how much money they have to make to be profitable they can’t just claw back the profit you make using a prompt and their service unless they drastically change how they charge to a model like unreal engine that bases how much they charge based on usage + profits. 100 billion wont be recouped within the lifetime of the infrastructure or hardware lifespan of 5-10 years unless they take over several industries or charge users much much more for access.
Forget regulation because they’ve got government support it’s been pretty much declared AI as national security issue any intellectual property stolen or used for their product will not have any lawsuits standup in court and/or the court will be ignored because the big banks are the ones investing the banks can just ignore any rulings
I learned more from the headline of this post than the video they made to announce it
What device??? Seems like a crazy embezzlement/side deal
The pic is giving “hey, we noticed you from across the bar and like your vibe. Want to come
back to our place? We have poppers”
God what a badly written article. Either AI or an idiot writing this.
OpenAI is shooting in all directions trying to hit something.
First windsurf for an absurd amount of 3B, now this.
Prediction, company will die in 2 to 5 years
That solid slab of aluminium they release will be something.
Let’s be honest, there’s only so many form factors that will work. It doesn’t take $6.5b to come up with them…
She’s gotta be one sexy humanoid robot for them to pay 6,5 billion for her design. 😂
Chatgpt will start writing responses in a very thin font that’s barely visible. And, the device will have no buttons, and users interact with it with lots of hand waving.
So he’s basically going to make a small cool looking box and a light with not enough ports to plug things in?
As they say, you’ll make more money being a business owner than an employee. That statement evens holds true for Jony who was one of the most influential individuals at Apple who has helped shape the technological the world. Crazy he’s now a billionaire. What a payday after the gamble of leaving Apple. Just goes to show, everyone should makes their own moves when you feel ready even from the biggest company in the world.
I tell you, sometimes I can’t believe how much money is in the world. Only 5-8 years ago this would be an unthinkable amount for such a small company but there now seems to be multiple high billion dollar buys on a fortnightly basis.
