Can move on it's own?! Just what I always wanted! An obnoxious speaker creature that follows me around, "learns" about me, and never shuts the fuck up.
These guys have their fingers on the pulse.
I already have a cat.
Absolutely! I would love to spit up a hairball on your rug.
Cats don't learn about you. They learn how to control you. Oh.
Hey, at least cats have the decency to be in charging mode 23 hours a day.
Nope, there's an underpaid contractor somewhere in India that the company OpenAI outsourced their work to, outsourced their work to.
That person is watching and listening to everything you do and piloting the robot.
But dont worry, OpenAI is training their new robot controller on this person's actions so that soon™ they can terminate their contract with the company that outsourced their stalking to the Indian man now watching you masturbate.

either that or its a phillipines operator.
They built a literal DJroomba. Parks and rec writers > OpenAI.

What they're proposing: C-3PO.
What they're planning: Droideka.
What they'll sell: R5-D4.
All we want: Gonk.
haha no, not even if hell freezes over
I’d only ever agree to this if it was a self hosted and open source system that had been audited by trusted individuals. There’s no way I’m opening my life up to a co pant like that.
That sounds absolutely useless!
Weird how "AI" still isn't magical...
Just what us plebes have simply been asking for!

Sounds to me like a problem with your adblocker. No issues viewing on FF+uBO.
Now I’m intrigued because another article called it a light-up keyboard, and still another called it a ChatGPT Remote.
Someone at Open AI saw the episode of GitSSAC and decided they wanted to fuck the organ manufacturing CEO with the tin can cybernetic body, I see.
What happened to the Jony Ive camera thing?
The what?
This is 5 months old:

He looks like divorced Cory Doctorow
Okay.
Is it?
Is that why apple sued them?
That's pretty much what the smart speakers were marketed to do. Draw off your digital life in order to give you personalized responses.
Sounds to me like the only thing this does is roam around and
