Apple’s ongoing rift with OpenAI over trade secrets and the Jony Ive hardware situation are referenced amid a reported leak of OpenAI’s first hardware device. According to Thursday’s leak, the device will not be a pendant but a smart home device resembling a second-generation Echo Dot, shaped like a hockey puck, with no moving parts or camera at face value. It will include battery power and premium materials, pushing the price to $300 to $400, making the HomePod mini look like a bargain. The worrying aspects include a camera and "parts that will move on their own" to help answer user queries, though this feature is unexplained. The article speculates on safeguards but notes the moving parts are more realistically for shifting the camera. Separately, "Ted Lasso" returned with a fantastic opening for season 4, taking place in Kansas City, reestablishing characters after the third season’s closure and dragging the mustache back to Blighty with family. The article questions a promotion Apple put on at New York City’s Fifth Avenue Apple Store on Thursday, referring to the "Gathering" without further detail.
