Talk about being delusional

OpenAI is going for a fully proprietary phone, creating both the hardware and the operating system. According to Kuo, it will use a customized version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 processor, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year.

• New OS
• New CPU

They must be slopping the OS together, while their marketing AI tells them that this is what everyone wants.

Seems more likely that they are trying to pump up their IPO using this phone.

AI is getting so intrusive I'm considering a land line.

Amazon had similar thoughts about its fire phone.

Boy are they in for a rude awakening.

I hope they really go for it. Maybe it'll put them out of business.

You are a ✨visionary✨ that sees things nobody else does! It's not going to be a failure, it's going to exceed all expectations! By the year ✨2030✨ everybody will own an OpenAI phone! 🎖️🎖️🎖️✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

~ ChatGPT, probably

Phone with only chat interface where all your apps are agents and MCP servers and all your data goes straight to OpenAI servers. You wake up one day and your bank account is $10M short, your house is sold and you own $1M to some gambling company but you agreed to privacy policy and terms of use so good luck.

Remember the Facebook phone? Exactly.

They are not talking to us, but to the shareholders and investors. They are offering a fantazillion phone sales to the people who are giving them money so they can get more money.

It's the exact same pattern we've been seeing with all things AI since its launch. This kind of big talk is aimed to please investors, even if it's a plain lie (which, with AI, has always been the case).

I wouldn't use an OpenAI phone if they paid me...

An official member of the US military industrial complex is making a phone with a proprietary OS that hoovers up your data and shoves AI slop in your face 24/7. What’s not to like?

Would be real funny if they made a built in Ai with root access for it.. Totally not disastrous.

“No! We swear we can make money! Seee! Phone? Phone make money! We make phone! Please give us more money to throw in to the money shredder.”

This is like the Amazon firephone all over again..watch this space

LOL I'm sure their investors believe them.

AI companies have some of the worst projections ever conceived of by human minds. Im not remotely surprised they conned so many investors with them.

I didn't even know they made phones.

But they couldn't pay me enough to use one.

😂

Strong digust triggering ideas presented by openai in here

They’ll write off the losses. They don’t care.

NAAAH, what kind of substance are they overdosing on to get this delusional?. Actually, nevermind, i just found the anwser: shareholders

Not sure about a phone but I would be interested in an ai powered pepper shaker. Take notes openAI.

No, they don't. But companies woking on borrowed money and market hype have to act like they invented breathable air. It's all marketing

I genuinely cannot believe that they think this is a good idea. After their whole Sora thing failed, you would think they would have gotten wiser, guess that's not the case. I cannot see a world where this thing do anything, but flop. Maybe they will sell them at a lost, but, even then, I have doubt that it will succeed.

I would not buy one. I would not use one if my current phone exploded into tiny pieces and the only convenient replacement was a free OpenAI phone - I'd much rather inconvenience myself.

One of the few things that give us hope these days is that those companies are pretty dumb and delusional, so they can fall by themselves

Certainly this must be jumping the shark finally, no?

Sigh...

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

I expect companies to be the ones actually buying these and forcing employees to use them at least once an hour as a requirement for staying employed.

OK ,going offgrid will buy some birds

I mean, if they heavily subsidize the cost they might.

The everyday person will overlook the no name branding phone if it's cheaper than the others.

honestly I can see getting this. To me the smartphone already is sucking up all your data and selling it. I can't see this as any worse. Like any smartphone it remains off most of the time.

> buy all the RAM on earth so even Samsung won't sell Samsung RAM to manufacture a reasonable number of their phones

> sell a couple more phones than Samsung

Maybe OpenAI is playing 5D chess here

"Open""AI" is desperate for VC money
