If you want to speak to a device you can do that to your phone or watch already.
And you can look at images on them.
The End.
They are saying it's designed to work with other devices so it could display things on those screens. Although Jony Ive said products like Humane were poorly made, the description of their product sounds similar. One of the biggest downsides of the Humane product was waiting for cloud processing:
If it offloads processing to a local iPhone or other device or has a built-in neural chip, it would be much faster and more private but would need pretty advanced models to run on low-end hardware.
It would be useful for students and in business. A student studying could be stuck on something and would normally ask a teacher for help. The AI device would see the screen and the student can point to the issue and ask it. If it needs to display something, it can show on a phone or computer screen. If it has agent capability, it can control the screen and type things.
The same applies in business. Someone might be processing company earnings reports and need to make a presentation comparing the data. You could open the earnings reports for each year, have the camera look at it and tell it to load this data into Excel and create a graph showing the net income growth.
Someone working in Photoshop could describe actions, remove this object, lighten the photo, crop it to landscape, add a text caption with a suitable font and it can do it.
The main thing Sam Altman alluded to improving on was having to take out a computer, load up a browser, open a chat window, type in a problem and wait for a reply. They want interaction with AI to be more efficient than this and this will broaden its appeal.
They have to focus on improving things that matter to people and are common sources of inefficiency.
Definitely the smartest comment so far.
The challenge for io/openai is that apple can easily copy this hardware. The challenge for Apple is getting their AI house in order. But if Apple can do that, then I think PCC will give them the edge.
Apple are pushing on device compatibility that at some point that will kick latency of a cloud approach. Their privacy model means they can tune to user better than others which will get them a first responder model that is smaller and on device sooner.
They can make bank getting that model to farm out longer tasks allowing the cloud.latency to be less of an issue but more apparent. Now opening up time for long running tasks with higher value add.
Can they do this fast enough is yet to be seen but I would not count them out just yet.
This is a cruel joke, right? Who would wear such a thing. I don't like anything on me or worn including watches, rings, medals, chains...and handcuffs. WOW. This is just so silly.
