i wrote this word vomit in obsidian in june to get my thoughts sorted on the openai and apple partnership

i thought openai had much more to gain (and lose) in the partnership, and concluded they would go into hardware taking their learnings from the partnership

today it turns out sama has been courting jony ive (this politics stuff is his primary skill) so it might happen sooner than expected. really curious what choices they make on design, i think it will be heavily constraint-focused since the previous AI hardware devices have all flopped and people cared much less about what it could do compared to how "extra" it felt (extra weight, extra volume, extra features, etc)

happened even sooner than expected in my post (where i said it might be sooner than expected)

this space moves so fast

wow - OpenAI is buying Jony Ive's startup io for $6.5B in equity and Ive will develop a new generation of AI hardware products at OpenAI.

OpenAI is going to compete with every huge tech company https://t.co/BwSBiUXmRJ
