AI hardware has entered its spaghetti era, and notably, Altman and Ive aren’t betting on glasses.

Big Tech and smaller gadget makers alike are throwing anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks.

We're all trying to guess who’s going to crack the code in terms of form factor, company, and use cases.

Ive and Altman are rumored to be developing a wearable AI device.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the prototype is "slightly larger than the AI Pin, with a form factor as compact and elegant as an iPod Shuffle" The device could be worn around the neck, with cameras and microphones, and that it will connect with smartphones.
