I feel like Ive and the rest of the Billionaires are so divorced from reality that whatever they make it will be rather pointless. As jobs crumble and the economy craters and the rich get richer, we're as likely to burn their factories down as we are to buy more AI Assistants in the next 10 years. I appreciate Ive's skills, but at has point drinking $80,000 bottles of wine and pining for designer gold accouterments indicates a complete separation from the rest of the world outside of Silicon Valley and private jets and 8th houses in Italy.

I have 0 interest in anything from Altman or Ive. They both appear boring. Some kind of Star Trek device operated with the voice would suck. 

Great point! What has Ive ever done? A boring waste of a life. Same with Altman--I mean, does anyone even use ChatGPT? But I love that they confided in you that this is "some kind of Star Trek device operated with the voice" and that you already know that this will suck. We love insider information like that! Please keep up the good work!

I'm all AI'ed and voice assistantsed out. When Apple said the iPhone 16 was "built for AI" I took that as a warning, not a feature. I just want an off switch, m'kay?

My opinion only. YMMV. If you enjoy this stuff, great. I'm happy for you. 

I understand your perspective, but it would have been easy enough to say you were "all mobile phone'd out" before the iPhone debuted. The mobile phone market was already very crowded, had been for years, and Blackberry was the much beloved king of the hill. And then Apple had a different idea. I don't know that this is going to be good--whatever "this" turns out to be--but if any two people on the planet can completely reinvent the idea of what an AI device might be, it's Ive and Altman.
