1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693 Speaker 1: from News Talks at B. 3 00:00:12,853 --> 00:00:16,173 Speaker 2: Apple's design guru has announced he's going to be working 4 00:00:16,213 --> 00:00:19,413 Speaker 2: with open Ai full time. Open Ai, of course as 5 00:00:19,413 --> 00:00:22,853 Speaker 2: the company behind chat GPT, but this is a guy 6 00:00:22,853 --> 00:00:26,333 Speaker 2: who designed the iPod, the iMac and the iPhone. So 7 00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:29,933 Speaker 2: our Textbert Paul Steenhouse will have been watching this development 8 00:00:29,973 --> 00:00:32,493 Speaker 2: with keen interest and is with us now, Paul, why 9 00:00:32,573 --> 00:00:33,173 Speaker 2: is this such. 10 00:00:32,973 --> 00:00:33,453 Speaker 1: A big deal? 11 00:00:34,173 --> 00:00:38,013 Speaker 3: Well, because he created the devices that have changed our world, 12 00:00:38,173 --> 00:00:41,413 Speaker 3: haven't they. And he's just got such a great mind 13 00:00:41,493 --> 00:00:45,973 Speaker 3: for creating simple products that were really just the light 14 00:00:46,093 --> 00:00:48,573 Speaker 3: people they work. They Yeah, and that's it. He was 15 00:00:48,813 --> 00:00:52,413 Speaker 3: Steve jobs right hand man like for all of those products, 16 00:00:53,413 --> 00:00:56,733 Speaker 3: and he stepped away from Apple quite a few years ago. 17 00:00:56,813 --> 00:01:00,853 Speaker 3: He actually created a design agency and partnered with some 18 00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:03,053 Speaker 3: interesting films. I don't think Airbnb was one of his 19 00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:06,653 Speaker 3: clients along the way. But two years ago he created 20 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:10,053 Speaker 3: a company called Io. Now it's kind of a little 21 00:01:10,093 --> 00:01:13,893 Speaker 3: under the radar. It was actually funded in part by 22 00:01:14,013 --> 00:01:17,093 Speaker 3: open Ai and then about a quarter share in the company. Yeah, 23 00:01:17,093 --> 00:01:19,853 Speaker 3: it's been kind of bubbling away under the surface and 24 00:01:19,893 --> 00:01:23,693 Speaker 3: trying to figure out what the next product could be, right, 25 00:01:23,733 --> 00:01:25,613 Speaker 3: the next big product could be and how does it 26 00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:29,813 Speaker 3: incorporate AI? And what's really interesting is open Ai has 27 00:01:29,853 --> 00:01:34,773 Speaker 3: now said that they're purchasing all of Io for six 28 00:01:34,813 --> 00:01:38,493 Speaker 3: point five billion dollars according to Bloomberg, not a not 29 00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:40,253 Speaker 3: a small amount of cash, right, but with that sort 30 00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:42,293 Speaker 3: of money, you'd be thinking, okay, So that means that 31 00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:44,933 Speaker 3: Johnny Ive's going to be joining open Ai as a 32 00:01:44,933 --> 00:01:48,173 Speaker 3: full time staff member. But here's where it's weird. He's 33 00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:51,573 Speaker 3: not okay, But everybody else who's working on io is 34 00:01:51,853 --> 00:01:55,173 Speaker 3: so effectively church gpt open Ai. They're going to be 35 00:01:55,173 --> 00:01:58,613 Speaker 3: getting now this new product that they're going to be releasing, 36 00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:01,893 Speaker 3: they're saying next year that they want to ship to 37 00:02:02,053 --> 00:02:05,653 Speaker 3: one hundred million users on day one. Wow, mind blowing. 38 00:02:06,773 --> 00:02:09,093 Speaker 3: But Johnny Ive is not going to be joining an 39 00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,213 Speaker 3: opening eye full time. He's going to be kind of 40 00:02:11,213 --> 00:02:14,493 Speaker 3: almost like contracting I think through his company his agency, right, 41 00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:16,293 Speaker 3: which I just found was really weird. If you've put 42 00:02:16,293 --> 00:02:19,053 Speaker 3: a six point five billion dollar price tag, wouldn't you 43 00:02:19,093 --> 00:02:23,493 Speaker 3: think that like he'd be employee number whatever and you know, 44 00:02:23,613 --> 00:02:26,053 Speaker 3: your chief design officer. But no, he'll just be working 45 00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:28,653 Speaker 3: full time with them. And I think it's it's certainly 46 00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:32,293 Speaker 3: raddlesome people. And you know that because the Apple share 47 00:02:32,293 --> 00:02:35,613 Speaker 3: price fell two percent on the news, and when you're 48 00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:38,613 Speaker 3: a harmony trillion dollar company, that is a rather large 49 00:02:38,613 --> 00:02:41,853 Speaker 3: amount of money. Because if Apple's not creating this product, 50 00:02:42,493 --> 00:02:46,093 Speaker 3: who is, Well, it very well could be him. But 51 00:02:46,413 --> 00:02:49,213 Speaker 3: he's interesting product, that's it. 52 00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:50,693 Speaker 1: That's it. What is he making? 53 00:02:51,373 --> 00:02:53,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we don't know that yet. No details have 54 00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:56,333 Speaker 3: been released about this at all, but it's said to 55 00:02:56,373 --> 00:02:58,893 Speaker 3: not be the iPhone killer. It's supposed to be sitting 56 00:02:58,933 --> 00:03:03,853 Speaker 3: beside your MacBook beside your iPhone. The idea is that 57 00:03:03,853 --> 00:03:06,253 Speaker 3: it will be a third device. Sam Oltman, the CEO, 58 00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:09,933 Speaker 3: kind of said, so it's probably going to be a 59 00:03:10,013 --> 00:03:12,933 Speaker 3: wearable but apparently Sam Moltman isn't too interested in wearables. 60 00:03:12,933 --> 00:03:14,933 Speaker 3: But I kind of don't know what else is going 61 00:03:15,013 --> 00:03:18,293 Speaker 3: to be, Yeah, short of a kind of more sophisticated 62 00:03:18,733 --> 00:03:22,973 Speaker 3: paper paperweight that sits on your desk, but it may 63 00:03:23,093 --> 00:03:24,613 Speaker 3: very well. I mean, it needs a connection to the 64 00:03:24,613 --> 00:03:26,613 Speaker 3: internet most likely, right, So it's probably going to be 65 00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:29,013 Speaker 3: through your iPhone or through your computer or something along 66 00:03:29,053 --> 00:03:32,093 Speaker 3: those lines, I guess, But no, no one knows anything 67 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:34,093 Speaker 3: about it. Of course the Internet's like tried to guess 68 00:03:34,133 --> 00:03:36,933 Speaker 3: and are thinking of a few things, but no, we 69 00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:39,093 Speaker 3: know nothing about it. But we just know that they 70 00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:42,133 Speaker 3: want to go big and they've got the design brain 71 00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:43,653 Speaker 3: of what this passed? 72 00:03:44,373 --> 00:03:49,453 Speaker 2: Yeah interesting a few decades to be alongside them very quickly, Paul, 73 00:03:49,533 --> 00:03:52,293 Speaker 2: So that's opened my eyes side of things. Google has 74 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:54,333 Speaker 2: revealed its new products for twenty twenty five. 75 00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:57,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, so they had their big conference and three things 76 00:03:57,453 --> 00:04:01,253 Speaker 3: that stood out to me, Jack. Android is getting smart glasses. 77 00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:03,453 Speaker 3: So we don't know much about this apartment. It's called 78 00:04:03,453 --> 00:04:05,813 Speaker 3: Project Aura, but they're going to deliver what they're calling 79 00:04:05,853 --> 00:04:09,253 Speaker 3: mixed reality through those smart classes. So imagine it's kind 80 00:04:09,253 --> 00:04:12,733 Speaker 3: of augmented reality, right because they're coming equipped with microphones, cameras. 81 00:04:13,213 --> 00:04:16,453 Speaker 3: Their Gemini AI integration is the thing as well, so 82 00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:18,533 Speaker 3: I guess you'll be able to do the translate stuff 83 00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:20,733 Speaker 3: and the what is that thing? All that kind of stuff. 84 00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:23,533 Speaker 3: Google Shopping is going to get a new feature where 85 00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:26,053 Speaker 3: it will let you try on an outfit using AI, 86 00:04:26,173 --> 00:04:29,213 Speaker 3: so you take a full body photo of yourself, and 87 00:04:30,133 --> 00:04:34,053 Speaker 3: Google says that it's figured out the AI to work 88 00:04:34,093 --> 00:04:38,253 Speaker 3: out human bodies, the nuances of clothing fabric, how they fold, stretch, 89 00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:39,693 Speaker 3: drape all of that kind of stuff and you'll be 90 00:04:39,693 --> 00:04:41,533 Speaker 3: able to see what you'll look like in an outfit. 91 00:04:41,893 --> 00:04:45,613 Speaker 3: Sounds pretty interesting. And Gmail's smart replies are getting even smarter. 92 00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:48,213 Speaker 3: They're going to start looking at other emails that you've 93 00:04:48,533 --> 00:04:51,333 Speaker 3: received or as sending it will know who's been sending 94 00:04:51,373 --> 00:04:53,093 Speaker 3: it to you. So maybe the tone you send an 95 00:04:53,133 --> 00:04:55,053 Speaker 3: email back to your boss will be a little bit 96 00:04:55,053 --> 00:04:57,133 Speaker 3: different than the yol what up that you send to 97 00:04:57,173 --> 00:05:00,013 Speaker 3: your friends. It's going to have access to your Google 98 00:05:00,053 --> 00:05:01,533 Speaker 3: Drive too, So I thought those are three things that 99 00:05:01,573 --> 00:05:03,493 Speaker 3: are kind of interesting. But they had a stack of 100 00:05:03,493 --> 00:05:06,653 Speaker 3: announcements obviously very AI RELI today. 101 00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:09,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Hey, thanks Paul, appreciate it as always cool. 102 00:05:09,813 --> 00:05:11,933 Speaker 2: Paul Steinhouse is our textbook. 103 00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:15,493 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, Listen live 104 00:05:15,613 --> 00:05:18,413 Speaker 1: to News Talks ed B from nine am Saturday, or 105 00:05:18,493 --> 00:05:20,373 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
