Sam Altman and Jony Ive are cooking up something big—a consumer AI hardware device that's already gotten a massive $6.5 billion bet from Altman's camp. The OpenAI chief and Apple's legendary designer joining forces? That's the kind of partnership that makes people pay attention. No prototype reveals yet, but when you've got that level of talent and capital backing a project, expectations run sky-high. The hardware space is about to get interesting—assuming they can actually deliver on the hype.

6.5 billion invested just to make us wait for the prototype? Laughing and then crying, this rhythm is just like some project teams writing whitepapers... Just hype it up first.

honestly the capital deployment here is giving major market inefficiency signals... 6.5B for vaporware feels like textbook liquidity distortion. ive + altman = hype machine go brrrr, but where's the actual arbitrage play? 🤔 no prototype = no moat = just alpha leak dressed up as innovation

Another major funding news, this time it's hardware. Will it work?

Sam and Jony team up? This combo is quite impressive, $6.5B is a bold move. Just worried it might turn out to be another Vision Pro story.

Another project that's "changing the world," with so much money to burn.

It's another round of funding and partnerships; this routine is so familiar... How many of these can actually be implemented?

Wait, Jony Ive teaming up with Altman? Is this real? Can we not have another PPT funding round again?
