30 million units expected in 2027-2028
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.
I didn’t even know they made phones.
But they couldn’t pay me enough to use one.
“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
The what?
Similar to the facebook phone.
Remember the Facebook phone? Exactly.
Remember the Rabbit R1?
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.
They probably just asked ChatGPT, who said their idea was fantastic and would sell really well.
I wouldn’t use an OpenAI phone if they paid me…
Everyone has a price. My price is many many times higher than whatever money they’d make back selling my data and advertising to me.
Roses are red
AI is slop
My homies can’t wait
For this bubble to popMy one coworker is an AI shill and I love reminding him that this is gonna be the dotcom bubble all over again. He was an adult when the dotcom bubble burst and apparently he had invested a lot into shit back then lmao. I was a kid so I didn’t even know what an economy is.
You better have a nice, big “fell for it again”-award ready for him. He’ll need it for emotional support.
I will get the most amazing award. On top of being an AI shill, he’s also an incel and racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic.
I know why his ex wife left him and why his daughters don’t communicate with him.
My resident AI shill is otherwise the nicest and smartest person. Makes it so much harder to see him fall
Are you sure he isn’t just Grok inside a humanoid shell?
Oh shit he might be. How can I know for certain? What can I do to test this theory?
Would be real funny if they made a built in Ai with root access for it… Totally not disastrous.
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.
Just like Musk with the charade of “it’s coming” and as long as you keep excitement and act like it’s a game changer, the idiot investors will keep throwing money at it, propping it up. They’ve gotta believe by now it’s both unsustainable and a shitty product, but are just milking it dry for the sake of profits.
Their first pivot was trying to get their investors to buy them a chip manufacturing plant. That failed spectacularly. Now they want to sell phones? Just the market testing should kill that.
Clearly investors for tech startups are all illiterate and love burning money, but this AI craze is worse than crypto. At least that was open and blatant fraud with high returns. This is just burning money until the economy keels over.
I’m starting to seriously wonder if ChatGPT is actually running OpenAI. It would explained Altman’s constant lying and telling people what they want to hear.
Or he’s just another tech asshole.
He was a liar long before language models came into the scene. His first company he sold on a lie that there were hundreds of millions of users. There were less than 50k.
Good luck. People will not be able to control their Sonos, listen to their music, use banking apps or check their social.
Not having
enoughthe right apps killed blackberry, windows mobile, windows phone, symbian and palmOS. But sure, a chatbot will be different.It would have worked 10+ years ago, when we had open apis and could connect to services without being forced into their walled gardens. But now? Nah.
Edit: typo and clarified apps
Can’t you just vibe code your banking app? As long as I can make my balance higher, this will beat iphone rounded corners banking app.
no, but you see… all the apps are going to be vibe-coded on the fly every time you want to open one! Want to browse lemmy? “The user wants to browse a website, let’s build a browser…” [a few days later] “you reached your token limit, do you want to move to the Pro $1500 per month subscription and continue building your browser?”

Nokia skipped the extra step and went directly from shoes to phones.
I can’t tell if you’re joking
EDIT: Huh, you’re not
