Area lizard/murderer/retard Sam Altman is releasing a “donut shaped, hockey puck sized, metal mesh” smart speaker in 2027 that for some reason people would just carry all day for $300. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-06/what-is-openai-s-device-a-doughnut-shaped-speaker-that-costs-over-300?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc4NjA0NjY3NSwiZXhwIjoxNzg2NjUxNDc1LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUSjlNQ01UOU5KTFUwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJDNEVEQ0FFMUZBMDU0MEJFQTI0QTlGMjExQzFFOTA4MCJ9.pj0oCNz7Ez90rn67tMWib-ed2PxcUAhAG2-hlVQ_DRg&leadSource=article-gifting
How many billions more until tech companies learn that most people don't want to talk to their computers?

>>109482806This definitely won't flop like the Rabbit R1 or the Humane pin
>>109482821it's the boomer scifi mind virus, we will never get rid of it until civilization collapses
>>109482806i pay openAI $500 a month, they should send me this shit for free
its supposed to have moving components, nothing really makes sense here other than a laser projector, if that is the case, that would be really cool, otherwise, if its just a speaker, if i wanted that i would have enabled Alexa+ which i have disabled because of how dogshit it is and how much worse it is than native alexa
$400.
>>109482806 so it's the first Google Home Mini but with a pop up camera or a Humane Pin style shitter projector. Wow. I actually admire Ive and I wanted to be hyped for this but after seeing that faggy Ferrari and now reading this I'm losing hope.
>>109482923early reports said it was going to be doughnut shaped, now its hockey puck, so my guess is that the render in OP is missing a circular cut in the middle from which yeah most likely a surveillance camera will protrude, or projector, or honestly, bothif its a small laser projector it could be cool, there are some nice mini laser projectors on amazon, but who are we kidding, this is just going to be a fucking camera.
>>109482946>if its a small laser projector it could be coolnot really. that shit was cool 20 years ago and now we have high resolution OLED displays and there is absolutely zero use case for them. And I'm probably in the top 5% least cynical people here when it comes to Ive and this device.Idk, I really hoped for something more thought provoking than my old Home Mini
>>109482821I want to talk to my computer tho?The problem is that you don't do it because you know it's too retarded to understand what you're saying and so you'll be faster just clicking on shit and doing it yourself, but this is basically the same as voice controls in cars, when the first couple generations came out it was absolutely trash, especially if it was from some old ass chink radio model, but now they're all android/iphone compatible and it's your 800$ mini super computer handling it and I couldn't ever see myself manually pressing the fucking buttons when I can just tell gemini to play mother by danzig or somethingThis is such a retarded, brainrotted take, of course you want to talk to your computer, do you talk to people face to face or do you keep a drawing board and a bunch of post it notes and a pen?
We will bloom.
>>109482806Niggers will love it and blast their retardation at much higher volumes than their phone speakers.
>>109482988>talk to carNope>talk to androidNope>use any voice activationNopeWhat kind of weird shit is this? Nobody does that.Press the fucking buttons you cunt. Nobody got time for that shit.
>>109483037niggers don't want to talk to their phonesyou're a cringe nerd if you use siri or voice activated ai
>>109483038>retarded boomer not understanding that the times have changedliterally everyone with a brain does it, you're probably some retarded poor russian with a thick accent that's too scared of speaking to your little magic box in front of people lest they might stab you or something
>>109483056Pretty sure I'm living in a big city not talking to my car or my phone because I'm not a twat.
>>109483045They're not going to use it for that. It'll be used as a speaker, and being that jews will shill it as an ultimate trendy conspicuous consumption "status" device, niggers will be all over it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFyjleC2Bi0LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME
>>109483056>literally everyone with a brain does itI'm from a major first world capital city and I can assure you ZERO people talk to AI or their phones
>>109482988I don't like talking, like at all, it's an extra effort.Also I don't want to have to go "Alexa open my goon folder for me"
>>109483088the discussion wasn't talking to AI, it was talking to your computer, so now we're back to my first point; nobody does it because AI isn't smart enough nor is it accepted in the mainstream zeitgeist, yetmaybe you're not old enough to remember, but there was a time where pulling out your gameboy to play in the bus was deemed 'cringe' too, and now you see everyone on their fucking phone, it's a retarded argument
>>109483104I'm 31, I remember people saying the iPad and wireless headphones would flop. I get your pointbut this is actually going to flop
Ai isn't even smart, I don't want to talk to fucking Claude, it's all insufferable sycophantic crap that recycles the same phrases. NOBODY WANTS THIS
>>109482988you sound like someone who has embraced their isolation
>>109483162nah, I just live in a majority white country where I'm not scared of using my technology in public leading to me getting stabbed by an angry nigger, nor do I really care if some boomer look at me weirddo you also not use wireless earbus/headphones too? are you scared that people in the street believe you're a fent zombie talking to himself, rather than just some guy... talking on the phone but without holding his phone out?for being the 'technology' board, this thread sure is full of retarded boomers
Why wouldn’t I just use my phone that I already have and is on me at all times if I wanted to do any of those things?
>>109482806What does this do that a smartphone can?
>>109483200i'm not a bus rider europoorfag
>>109484780oof, that 'majority white' really hit home huh?yeah, I'd feel bad about my country too...
>>109484815you ever notice that people who talk shit about the USA never mention which shithole they're posting from?
>>109484840maybe because this isn't /pol/?
>>109482806You wasted a thread to tell us this. Please do not do it again.
>>109484876lol your mum cleans toilets in the UK
>>109482988sorta off topic but this reminded me: carplay voice control in my car is fucking hilarious, because my phone (and therefore carplay) is set to finnish, Siri for some unfathomable reason only understands english band names etc. in the thickest finnish accent i can come up with. If i say "toista The Beatles - Hey Jude" in my regular sort of american(ish) accent it just wont get it, but if i go full rally english finnish retard accent like "toista TÖ PIITLES HEI TSHUUD" it gets it immediately and replies "Toistetaan tö piitles hei tshuud äpple muusikista"What i'm saying is, this is the only place i use voice control and actually want to do it because it never stops being fucking hilarious.
>>109483116This
>>109483038unsure if boomer, gen x cancer, or zoomie kek
>>109482806for some reason Sam wanted it to be suppository. No thanks.
