Summary
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and designer Jony Ive are developing a palm-sized AI device without a screen that aims to function as a 'friend who's a computer' rather than an 'AI girlfriend.' The device, roughly smartphone-sized, can be carried or placed on surfaces, and the team is working on technical challenges including determining the device's personality and how frequently it should speak.
