The Information is gossiping that Sam Altman (Mr. OpenAI) and Jony Ive (do I have to explain?) are "friends" and have been discussing "what new hardware for the age of AI could look like", according to a "person familiar with the matter". I wonder what the pals and insiders reckon? Anyways, Altman is a big investor in Humane (remember that TED Talk demo?) and it wouldn't surprise me if Atlman is trying to suck up to Ive to get him to come back to designing consumer electronics. Ive is the GOAT, so if Sam manages to get Jony to design Humane's next-gen/mass market product, that'll make everyone pay attention to it. I also like to imagine what Jony and Sam talk about in their friendship. Oh to be a fly on the wall during those conversations.
