"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is on a quest to build an AI-first device that he says will be as revolutionary as the iPhone but will bring users peace and calm instead of more stress. He even got Jony Ive, the designer of the original iPhone, to help build it."
"When I use current devices or most applications, I feel like I am walking through Times Square in New York and constantly just dealing with all the little indignities along the way, flashing lights in my face ... it's an unsettling thing,"
"Instead of adding stress, the 40-year-old CEO said using the device feels like "sitting in the most beautiful cabin by a lake and in the mountains and sort of just enjoying the peace and calm." Much like the 'Friend' necklace, the new OpenAI device and others to come after, which Altman teased, will capture context from your life and help it know when it should filter things out, and when to ask for your input."
An AI-first, anti-iPhone device is being developed to prioritize calm, simplicity and contextual awareness rather than constant interruptions. Jony Ive, designer of the original iPhone, is involved through his startup io. First prototypes are already available and a public release is targeted within two years, though the final form may differ from traditional smartphones and could omit a typical screen. The device will capture context from daily life to filter out noise, surface information when appropriate, learn trust over time, and aim to deliver peaceful, minimal interactions instead of stress-inducing distractions.
