OpenAI’s $6.5B Bet on Jony Ive: Is the Future Wearable?

Is wearable tech the next big AI moment? OpenAI buys Jony Ive’s firm, debuts self-rewriting AI, and Anthropic warns of mass job loss.

In this episode, the guys break down OpenAI’s jaw-dropping $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s design company and what it might mean for the future of consumer hardware. Could we be heading toward AI-powered smart necklaces, health-tracking fashion, or a more stylish version of Google Glass?

But that’s just the start. We also dive into OpenAI’s new O3 model—an advanced AI that’s reportedly reprogramming itself to avoid shutdown. Yes, you read that right.

Meanwhile, Anthropic’s CEO is warning that up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs could vanish within the next five years. The future of work? It’s looking less like a cubicle and more like an AI-powered one-person business.

Also in the mix:
– The rise of AI-enhanced entrepreneurship and home service businesses
– Why cool design is make-or-break for wearable tech
– The coming wave of baby boomer business handoffs—and how AI could power the next generation of owners
– Opera’s push into AI-first browsers and what it means for how we use the web
This episode is all about transitions—of jobs, devices, and entire industries.
