OpenAI's Revolutionary AI Gadget Is... a Phone? A Stinkin' Phone?
All roads lead back to the iPhone.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman might have hinted at this user experience change. In an X post shared before Kuo’s report, Altman said that it “feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed” and “(also the internet; there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents).”
“Only by fully controlling both the operating system and hardware can OpenAI deliver a comprehensive AI agent service,” writes Kuo.
That comment about updating the internet's protocol really feels like a buried lede.

"Open" doing some heavy lifting on all counts here
Yeah “updating the internet’s protocol” reads to me as “make it impossible for 99% of people to have any control over it”
I don't understand why you would want an "Agent" to do stuff for you. This whole thing is just built on the assumption that people are helpless idiots. Which, maybe has some truth to it, but I'd rather spend billions on education than this slop.
This is why I'm building reticulum infrastructure
I'm building recto-colon interface for my ass

That meeting had to be like the Poochie meeting from The Simpsons.
"It has to be edgy, in your face, a totally outrageous paradigm. Like the original iphone, but more proactive." [Boss leaves] "So, a phone okay with everybody?"

to be honest, as a lover of tech i was excited when they first announced a replacement for the phone. i dont think i ever thought it would take off but i respect the effort to make something different......
but its just a phone
