What Happened

Altman and Ive tease a simple AI device aimed at calm, distraction-free computing, launching within two years.

Our Take

Altman's been teasing hardware for two years. 'Peaceful computing' is real positioning—burnout is real. But vaporware 'til it ships.

He's juggling Sora trademark issues, pricing pressure, ChatGPT competition. Focus is scattered. Device launches in 2026 or it doesn't.

I'm skeptical. This feels like the Samsung Galaxy phone Ive did—beautiful product, nobody wants it. Show me a ship date.

What To Do

Don't count on this shipping before 2027—focus on what's available now.
