OpenAI’s Ambitions Just Became Crystal Clear

Sam Altman and OpenAI are taking a bold step by creating specialized hardware for AI assistants like ChatGPT. They’re joining forces with Apple’s Jony Ive to build devices that could replace fragmented tech setups. This move is significant for OpenAI, given its growth and valuation, but there's risk as early AI products have failed. The aim is a single device handling work, social tasks, data storage, possibly changing tech. The partnership faces uncertainty with other companies already integrating AI into their hardware, which has had issues before. Whether it succeeds or fails could hinge on Altman’s unified ecosystem approach.
