This is type of an inexpensive Friday publish, however I used to be struck by the truth that OpenAI’s CEO and co-founder Sam Altman simply posted on X/Twitter that he thought the brand new Apple Vision Pro is the “second most impressive tech since the iPhone.”
(Presumably, he thinks OpenAI’s personal ChatGPT is the no. 1 “most impressive” new tech since Apple launched its cell system in 2007.)
Altman additionally responded to a reply man that mentioned Apple’s new spatial computing headset had “probably the worst name tho,” and dinged his personal product within the proccess.
Given Altman’s impressions, it makes loads of sense that OpenAI already shipped a visionOS model of the ChatGPT app final week.
