Wait, SoftBank might still have one billion after all their bad bets and failures?! I'm at a complete loss of words... seriously at this point just seize the money and hand it out at random. That outcome is sure to be better and more productive than anything SB has done or will do

#94Man, I can't even begin to imagine what they're going to come up with. Titanium AIPods. Non-detachable alluminum RayBans. Google Glass, but it's a literal Black Mirror worn on your face. Self-driving Segway. Transparent plastic smart lunchbox. Electric long-board that's also a tablet. Fist-mountable selfdefense impact jackhammer. 5G base station Zurb ball. A keyboard that starts repeating nnnn when you think of what…
If you brand these ‘Wheelie Safe’ and market to upper middle class urbanites you’ll have more money than you know what to do with. Careful, you might end up a billionaire!

#95Does this signal that OpenAI is seeing the limits of their own technology being hit just around the corner? There is already no shortage of investment and hype around their core product - but it definitely does not seem like something you'd want to cram into a physical product, and definitely definitely not something you'd need $1B to develop. This smells like "Open"AI is on-ramping to the final stage, cashout. 1. Ra…
Someone will build this device, might as well be OpenAi (+ Jony Ive).

If you're this good when trolling for 5 minutes, I would be amazed to see you work seriously. Honestly some of those ideas are... terrible, of course, but awesome in their own distorted way. And also very Ive-like. Bravo, sir.
Just imagine a Ive-designed retina-scanning-orb! Easily worth a billion to SoftBank, easily!

Many fancy smart fridges are already quantified shelves. I see you are still adding stuff... let's keep it going.... Rideable Boston Dynamics Spot for commuting. An smart vape-pen line of medications. Smart Wigs. Self driving strollers.
Woah, quantified shelf market is done for. Point taken. Idk, Boston Dynamics Zoo? How is that more ethical though :$

This is hardly trolling. I just birthed 12 startups.

An electric car that you need to turn up side down to charge? An AI assistant device that looks like a trashcan?
