OpenAI’s Pocket-Sized AI: The Future or Just a Really Expensive Paperweight?

by

In a universe where the improbable is just another Tuesday, OpenAI has decided to embark on a quest to create AI “companion” devices. Yes, you heard that right! These nifty little gadgets are set to integrate artificial intelligence into our daily lives, potentially revolutionizing the way we interact with our laptops and smartphones. Because, clearly, we needed more gadgets to distract us from the existential dread of existence. 🤖

In a recent tête-à-tête with The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI’s illustrious CEO, Sam Altman, revealed that he and the design wizard Jony Ive are concocting these top-secret devices for the masses. They plan to ship a staggering 100 million units upon launch. That’s right, folks! A hundred million! Just imagine the sheer chaos of trying to find your own in a sea of pocket-sized AI companions. 😅

Now, Ives, who joined OpenAI after his startup, io, was snatched up in a $6.5 billion deal (because who doesn’t love a good acquisition story?), has been rather coy about what these devices will actually look like. He merely described them as a “new design movement,” which sounds suspiciously like a fancy way of saying, “We have no idea yet, but it’ll be shiny and expensive!”

Not the first “secret” project

But wait, there’s more! In addition to these elusive companion devices, OpenAI has its sights set on social media domination. According to an April 15 report by The Verge, they plan to take on the likes of Elon Musk’s X and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta platforms. Because, clearly, the world needs another social media platform to distract us from our impending doom. 😜
