AI Pin DREAMS or Wearable NIGHTMARE? Johnny Ive, Meta Glasses & OpenAI's FUTURE of Voice AI Assistants

*Is Johnny Ive's AI Pin the Future of Wearable AI – or Just a Beautiful Mistake?* In this week's episode of They Might Be Self-Aware, Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop dive into the swirling rumors around OpenAI's mysterious new AI pin – a wearable voice assistant being designed by none other than Apple legend Johnny Ive. Is this next-gen AI device the beginning of a post-smartphone era, or just another Humane-style flop in aluminum clothing? We explore the challenges of designing a truly always-on, voice-first AI assistant, discuss battery life, user privacy, and whether the form factor even makes sense in a world already saturated with phones, glasses, and virtual agents. Daniel shares his skepticism about wearable AI hardware, while Hunter envisions a world of passive digital assistants that anticipate your needs without you ever saying “Hey AI.” Also in the episode: – The growing arms race in AI hardware: OpenAI, Meta, Humane, and Google's Project Aura – Voice AI showdown: Claude’s new voice mode vs. OpenAI’s advanced ChatGPT voice assistant – Why Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses might be cooler than they are useful – The fine line between digital butler and digital surveillance – Will Apple join the game – or sit this round out? If you're wondering whether you’ll soon be wearing your AI assistant like a necklace, glasses, or badge, and what it means for privacy, productivity, and the future of tech… this is the episode you can’t miss. --- *🎧 Listen on your favorite platform:* * Official Website: https://tmbsa.tech * All Links (Linktree): https://linktr.ee/tmbsa * 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc * 📱 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297 --- *#AIpin #WearableAI #JohnnyIve #OpenAI #VoiceAI #MetaGlasses #ClaudeAI #AIassistant #TMBSA* *Like what you hear?
