OpenAI's first hardware device is reportedly a screenless speaker that can move

Can move on it's own?! Just what I always wanted! An obnoxious speaker creature that follows me around, "learns" about me, and never shuts the fuck up.

These guys have their fingers on the pulse.

If your AI needs a »personality« to keep you engaged, you’re no longer just buying hardware. You’re buying a relationship designed by a corporation. The biggest risk isn’t smarter AI. It’s outsourcing companionship, habits, and decisions to a product that ultimately serves its maker.

They built a literal DJroomba. Parks and rec writers > OpenAI.

Can it shut the fuck up and move the fuck away from me?

What they're proposing: C-3PO.

What they're planning: Droideka.

What they'll sell: R5-D4.

All we want: Gonk.

The machine would have access to a user’s digital life, drawing off things like emails, sources said.

haha no, not even if hell freezes over

That sounds absolutely useless!

Weird how "AI" still isn't magical...

website doesn't work, says I have to disable my adblocker

Just what us plebes have simply been asking for!

Someone at Open AI saw the episode of GitSSAC and decided they wanted to fuck the organ manufacturing CEO with the tin can cybernetic body, I see.

Now I’m intrigued because another article called it a light-up keyboard, and still another called it a ChatGPT Remote.

What happened to the Jony Ive camera thing?

Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the device — which is still currently under development — is designed to be screen-free and is being pitched internally as a “humanlike AI companion that lives in the home.”

OpenAI has long claimed that it wants to launch a hardware product — with some rumors being that it wants to launch its own phone, a move that would put it in competition with Apple.

OpenAI’s newly surfaced device sounds like something of a departure from traditional smart speakers — as sources described the device to Bloomberg as having a “personality” and being able to proactively learn about its owner over time, providing more personalized service. The machine would have access to a user’s digital life, drawing off things like emails, sources said.

The device is also weirdly described as involving “mechanical elements that can move on their own” and the Bloomberg report includes the detail that the device is designed to “feel like a companion and become a physical manifestation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
