Sam & Jony introduce io

I think Sam Altman deserves to share space in the same bucket as Mark Zuckerberg. They are not good guys. Frauds? Maybe.

Zuck hit it big with Facebook and then through acquiring our attention and competitors (or just copying them).

Altman is still trying to make it big. I think his ego is as big as Zuck's and somehow he's found himself in this AI race and is winning. I'm a little sad to see Ive join up with OpenAI but I bet the pull to be the first to make it transparent was too good to pass up.

While I see potential in AI, I have no faith in it being the central repository of knowledge or that it is the answer for anything other than allowing us to spend more of our time creatively rather than productively. I think that's part of the reason that Ive moving in this direction is so odd to me. I'm sure his team at Apple were all about results and pushing boundaries but at the cost of experimentation? I very much doubt that.

Given Humane's AI pin was a complete flop it's hard to see what the future holds in this space but if anyone can try, it's Ive and his team.

Oh and is it just me or does the image that accompanies the post look AI generated?!
