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.

What powers this technology? Surely the planning, engineering and building of these things with no use doesn't use technology?

Ozymandias

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

And genocide and surveillance states.

Good. Let's keep it that way.

ETA: I have a deep loathing of everything Zuck, mainly because he's amoral. I already have ~~distracted~~ distanced myself from people who use his platforms because all they seem to want is attention at all costs, usually through pushing what they think is true, without evidence, and posting other people's personal information and images without even asking, let alone consent.

That's what capitalists and their bootlickers do. They only give credit in blame shifting.

She chose volcel.

This is what all capitalism is. The capitalists copy, take credit, gradually degrade the project while paying capitalist cronies more and more inflated prices for supplies, contracted labor, line go up for a few quarters, capitalist decides to cash out, too bad for the public, astute business management.

Aka flood the market with extraneous bs rather than plan the economy around legitimate public need and benefit, while any surplus can be traded and donated to global communities for global need.

Rotating villains.

The ultimate reason is surveillance state, and Trotsky deserves exhumation and incineration for his treachery of the working class, of which his despicable list is but a foreboding symbol.

Democrats are smiling foxes.
