## Resource

OpenAI is reportedly developing its first hardware device: a screenless, movable AI companion built with Jony Ive's LoveFrom and powered by GPT Live. Chris Walton is joined by Alex Brakebill and Brandon Pezely to debate whether this represents the next major consumer technology breakthrough or another AI gadget searching for a problem to solve. They discuss voice AI, hardware innovation, and whether OpenAI should focus on better AI instead of new devices. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/Jb1AcsK9Ri0
