Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman Seeking Funding for Personal AI Device

[CrysisDeu]

If it’s like a rayban glass / echo frame with great design and premium feel, integrated with chatgpt, has multi modal interactions, all day battery life or swappable battery, it would be a massive hit.

It might kill vision pro

 

[CrysisDeu]

People won’t want to carry around another device, and it won’t replace a smartphone, so… dead in the water?

It could be a pair of glasses

Jony made everything thinner, except…

It’s the law of conservation of thickness.

If it’s like a rayban glass / echo frame with good design, it would be a massive hit

Those Ray-Ban Meta glasses are pretty slick.

The hostility towards Ive is weird. Even MacRumors itself engages in it by using that intentionally awful photo of him. How insulting and unnecessary.

it's quite strange. Like it or not a lot of apple's success was due to this man.

Yet macrumors honors him by finding a photo depicting him as an old lost man?

You never see these unflattering photos of tim cook posted on the site.

Macrumors could you post this on a future article on tim cooke please?

on that note of embarrassing photos - how about this one of elon?

 

[Harry Haller]

not a very flattering photo of the great ives.

Probably concentrating on a photo of iJustine.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I’ve been waiting for Apple’s smarter version for a decade

 

[citysnaps]

I'm looking forward to seeing their device. No doubt in my mind it'll be pretty interesting.

I can help MacRumors achieve a more balanced editorial stance. Here’s an equally flattering picture of Tim Cook. I wonder why MacRumors didn’t use this one when the Vision launched?

It could, but people don’t like to wear glasses either, unless they have bad eyesight or the glasses weigh less than an ounce and it’s very sunny.

I wear prescription glasses and I like them big and heavy. 🙂

It's the culture of MR readers to hate on everyone (except Jobs). So immature.

Ive can go take a long walk off a short pier. He's hack, nothing more.

Just capturing the ppl who are willing to is a massive win.
Not everyone wears a watch

Looked better than he looks today.

 

[Rogifan]

I wonder if Ive's greatest work is forever behind him, now that he doesn't have Steve Jobs to keep him focused. I guess we'll find out. I wonder if the new AI device will be made of alumineeum, or whether it will be unapologetically plastic.

Focus on what? A rectangular slab that looks roughly the same every year with a slightly better camera? I’m not sold on Vision Pro as the next big thing but I’m sure those who work on the project enjoy doing something other than incremental changes to mature products.

 

[GrayFlannel]

Looks like Ive needs to stop working from home.

Will it notch? 🤔 🤣

Don’t forget Eddy:

I wouldn’t want to wear either. I would prefer a small light-weight pocketable device you can optionally attach to your clothes.

But again, if you need another device for on-screen apps anyway, which also has a mic and can perform AI duties, I don’t see much attraction of an AI-only device.

Sure, there will always be people who will like it for some reason, but I don’t think a niche product is what Sam Altman is aiming for.

 

[Rradcircless]

In all the years since Ive left Apple, the one thing I've heard of him accomplishing was designing the new king's crest; and now this.

 

[Shasterball]

It will be the most beautiful device that cannot generate a picture with correctly spelled words overlaid on top.

This is ground control to Major Tom. MacRumors doesn’t even cross Cook or Ive‘s mind.

Hoping it comes in rose gold.

and a different shade every year...

Humor and mockery aren't hate.
