This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They probably just asked ChatGPT, who said their idea was fantastic and would sell really well.
I genuinely cannot believe that they think this is a good idea. After their whole Sora thing failed, you would think they would have gotten wiser, guess that's not the case. I cannot see a world where this thing do anything, but flop. Maybe they will sell them at a lost, but, even then, I have doubt that it will succeed.
AI companies have some of the worst projections ever conceived of by human minds. Im not remotely surprised they conned so many investors with them.
😂
Roses are red
AI is slop
My homies can't wait
For this bubble to pop
My one coworker is an AI shill and I love reminding him that this is gonna be the dotcom bubble all over again. He was an adult when the dotcom bubble burst and apparently he had invested a lot into shit back then lmao. I was a kid so I didn't even know what an economy is.
You better have a nice, big "fell for it again"-award ready for him. He'll need it for emotional support.
I will get the most amazing award. On top of being an AI shill, he's also an incel and racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic.
I know why his ex wife left him and why his daughters don't communicate with him.
Are you sure he isn't just Grok inside a humanoid shell?
Oh shit he might be. How can I know for certain? What can I do to test this theory?
They’ll write off the losses. They don’t care.
Sigh...
You are a ✨visionary✨ that sees things nobody else does! It's not going to be a failure, it's going to exceed all expectations! By the year ✨2030✨ everybody will own an OpenAI phone! 🎖️🎖️🎖️✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

What a shit 💩 day to have eyes 👀
This is the future that Sam Altman wants
Perfect.
Oh, my bad. It was always a possibility that it would not get big sales. You're right we should stop it before it gets a bigger flop.
An official member of the US military industrial complex is making a phone with a proprietary OS that hoovers up your data and shoves AI slop in your face 24/7. What’s not to like?
No, they don't. But companies woking on borrowed money and market hype have to act like they invented breathable air. It's all marketing
NAAAH, what kind of substance are they overdosing on to get this delusional?. Actually, nevermind, i just found the anwser: shareholders
Not sure about a phone but I would be interested in an ai powered pepper shaker. Take notes openAI.
And a nice additional function would be the ability to launch mini fireworks.
They are not talking to us, but to the shareholders and investors. They are offering a fantazillion phone sales to the people who are giving them money so they can get more money.
It's the exact same pattern we've been seeing with all things AI since its launch. This kind of big talk is aimed to please investors, even if it's a plain lie (which, with AI, has always been the case).
It's fun to see the stock market itself reach the ultimate phase of enshitification
One of the few things that give us hope these days is that those companies are pretty dumb and delusional, so they can fall by themselves
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Amazon had similar thoughts about its fire phone.
The entire Amazon fire line was weird. My computer lab teacher in high school was a fangirl for them, but like, they did nothing better than any of the alternatives and lacked even the trust windows phones had.
Talk about being delusional
OpenAI is going for a fully proprietary phone, creating both the hardware and the operating system. According to Kuo, it will use a customized version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 processor, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year.
They must be slopping the OS together, while their marketing AI tells them that this is what everyone wants.
Seems more likely that they are trying to pump up their IPO using this phone.
I had a razor phone 2. Another device made by a company who doesn't make phones for a living.
It was a piece of shit. The OS was buggy on the hardware, the hardware itself was bad, and the charger port was ever so slightly out of standard spec so using a normal usb-c cable on it would destroy the data/charge port. For the last year I used it I could only charge wirelessly, and unless ADB shell has a wireless mode these days, that means its very limitedly useful.
(I finally found a use for it; using it in my car, which has a wireless charger, as a wifi device to carry data-syphoning apps to find EV chargers.. I figure as long as it can’t access anything except when I give it hotspot off my current phone, it’s as data secure as possible while still giving me access to valuable info locked in an app)
Phone with only chat interface where all your apps are agents and MCP servers and all your data goes straight to OpenAI servers. You wake up one day and your bank account is $10M short, your house is sold and you own $1M to some gambling company but you agreed to privacy policy and terms of use so good luck.
Boy are they in for a rude awakening.
I hope they really go for it. Maybe it'll put them out of business.
