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.

    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.

    If your AI needs a »personality« to keep you engaged, you’re no longer just buying hardware. You’re buying a relationship designed by a corporation. The biggest risk isn’t smarter AI. It’s outsourcing companionship, habits, and decisions to a product that ultimately serves its maker.

    The machine would have access to a user’s digital life, drawing off things like emails, sources said.

    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.

    Now I’m intrigued because another article called it a light-up keyboard, and still another called it a ChatGPT Remote.

    Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the device — which is still currently under development — is designed to be screen-free and is being pitched internally as a “humanlike AI companion that lives in the home.”

    OpenAI has long claimed that it wants to launch a hardware product — with some rumors being that it wants to launch its own phone, a move that would put it in competition with Apple.

    OpenAI’s newly surfaced device sounds like something of a departure from traditional smart speakers — as sources described the device to Bloomberg as having a “personality” and being able to proactively learn about its owner over time, providing more personalized service. The machine would have access to a user’s digital life, drawing off things like emails, sources said.

    The device is also weirdly described as involving “mechanical elements that can move on their own” and the Bloomberg report includes the detail that the device is designed to “feel like a companion and become a physical manifestation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

    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 give AI psycohcsis have "personality".
