I'm looking forward to seeing what it is and what it can do. It could be very interesting and useful.

Kudos to @jclo and those MR folks who actually could watch this from beginning to end, I couldn't do that.

So it's basically the Limitless AI microphone clip listens to everything you say and summarises it, but you can also talk to it, and it probably has a camera as well.
Expect it to look a lot like this. In aluminium

I’m starting to feel that this whole partnership and new product might be invitation by OpenAI for Apple to buy the whole company. While Microsoft invested in the company, what has the company done for OpenAI? It feels Microsoft is going further in terms of their own AI system based on CoPilot to the point that they may not need to invest in OpenAI in the future.
My prediction is that Apple buys OpenAI in about two years time, they keep the company as subsidiary of Apple like they have done with Beats, but they can integrate deeper with Apple’s ecosystem like how Google and Microsoft has done. (And I bet OpenAI wants to tap into having deep integration with an ecosystem)
so the creators of the device say.
Last device that got this hyped was the Vision Pro - and we all know how that turned out.

Without the ability to scan information quickly with the eyes, diagrams, or pictures - i.e. a screen, this device won't go very far for productivity.
It will be like selling a working siri without a screen. Those pin devices failed, and without the feedback of a screen, this will too. People will buy a phone and install chatGPT.

By that time, the market will look very different.
Hear that? That's the garbage truck backing up.
My BS alert is off the scale, I'm definitely not the target audience.
Why do I have a hunch that we will not remember this device 2-3 years after it launches...
I saw the worst executive level strategy powerpoint presentation I've ever seen in my life today. Literally it was put together by what can only be described as a flunked out business studies student who had done two lines of coke and stolen some clip art. I had to buy and drink a whole bottle of wine it was that bad.
This is worse than that powerpoint.

Looks Like Sam Altman and Jony Ive Are Struggling to Make an AI Device That Does... Anything
Things might no be going according to the AI master plan.

I uh, think I'll pass. Thanks.
How much do we wanna bet that this is a stupid thing that's primarily voice-controlled?
Well it's not going to have any buttons or ports if Ive is involved in it.
Ive is overdue for a failed product I guess... Aside from the fact that "love from" achieved precisely zero. Ive was successful because of Jobs, not the other way around.
Yes, keep posting the empty hype. I bet it's an AI personal assistant that will be just as "accurate" as the AI in use today and crash & burn when the AI Bubble pops. Hard pass.
