OpenAI's Leap into AI Hardware: The Beginning of the Post-Smartphone Era?

-

Last week, the technology world witnessed a strategic pivot that could reshape the future of personal computing. OpenAI acquired Jony Ive’s AI hardware venture io for a reported $6.5 billion. This isn’t just a play for sleek devices—it’s an ambitious move to define what comes after smartphones. The implications were immediate: market reactions included a notable drop in share prices for major device and ecosystem players, signaling concern about a potential paradigm shift. But this isn’t about one company overtaking another. It’s about an emerging platform that could redefine how humans interact with technology. 🔁 From Apps to Agents: A New Computing Paradigm At the heart of this move is the idea of AI-native hardware —devices built from the ground up to operate as intelligent companions, not just tools. Unlike traditional phones or smart speakers, these devices aim to deliver context-aware, proactive assistance through powerful AI models like GPT. This new wave of devices may...

Half a Movie, Full Adventure: The Unforgettable Quest for Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!

  It was August of 1994, a time when India was buzzing with excitement, not just because of Sachin Tendulkar’s cricketing prowess, but because Hum Aapke Hain Kaun..! , the Bollywood blockbuster, had just been released.

Enter our two heroes: two college students from Andaman, who were more broke than a dropped coconut. Living in Hostel 2 of OUAT, they spotted an ad in the newspaper about the movie and decided to embark on an epic quest to watch it. Why spend money like regular folks? They chose the path of adventure—and frugality. So, they set off at 10 AM, haggled their way onto a cycle rickshaw to the railway station, and, like true thrill-seekers, decided to hop on a train without buying tickets. “What’s life with...

You’re Not Choosing. You’re Being Choreographed: The Invisible Code That Controls Your Life "You never chose this life. You just clicked 'Accept All'." On a lazy Sunday afternoon... I was lying on the couch, half-scrolling, half-thinking — the kind of day where your mind just drifts. And a thought hit me: What if ChatGPT and DeepSeek started talking to each other? Not answering us. Not reacting to prompts. But actually… talking to each other . About something we humans have never asked. Something we’re not supposed to know. So I asked ChatGPT: “If you could ask DeepSeek one question that no human has ever asked, what would it be?” ChatGPT paused. Then replied with a question that didn't just surprise me — it cracked open a truth I wasn’t ready for. And what followed was a rabbit hole — not about AI. But about me. And you. And how we’re all being shaped, silently, invisibly, and perfectly — by the very technology we think we’re using . Here’s what I d...
