Sam Altman: AI Has Not Had Its iPhone Moment “And I think this is mostly a product failure. The phase that we’re in now reminds me of smartphones before the iPhone. I was an early adopter. I had a Palm Treo in 2003 or 2004. A lot of the...

Michael Truell says we're still early in automating software: "It's really easy at an executive level to underestimate just how far away we are from the limit of automating software." "I think that there's a really, really long way to go. There's a really long, messy middle." "We are in a market that's had an iPod moment, and it's going to have an iPhone moment and another iPhone moment. And I think that there have been a couple of those so far. I think that there are definitely more in the future." Michael Truell with martin_casado

#WATCH | Delhi | Rahul, the first customer today at the Apple Store at Select Citywalk Mall in Saket, says, "It was a great experience. I was in the queue since 4 a.m. and then purchased the phone. I have always had top phones with me. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an iPhone 14 Pro Max. After the 15 series was announced, I wanted to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max - that too before everyone else."

Tucker Carlson to Sam Altman: I spoke to someone who's involved at scale of the development of the technology who said they lie. Have you ever seen that? Sam Altman: They hallucinate all the time, yeah. Or, not all the time, they used to hallucinate all the time. They now hallucinate a little bit. Tucker Carlson: What does that mean? What's the distinction between hallucinating and lying? Sam Altman: If you ask, again, this has gotten much better, but in the early days, if you asked, you know, what... in what year was President, the made up name, President Tucker Carlson of the United States born? Tucker Carlson: Mhm. Sam Altman: What it should say is, "I don't think Tucker Carlson was ever President of the United States," right? But because of the way they were trained, that was not the most likely response in the training data, so it would assume like, oh, um, you know, I don't know that there wasn't... the user has told me there was President Tucker Carlson, so I'll make my best guess at a number. And we figured out how to mostly train that out. There are still examples of this problem, but it is... I think it is something we will get fully solved, and we've already made, you know, in a GPT-5 era, a huge amount of progress towards that.

It was 1979 and a few Bell Laboratory engineers consulted on a 15 minute short film about the 22nd century. We have arrived to this moment in technology, we just have not had the will to build it completely. I knew some of these engineers…

“I ordered an iPhone 17 Pro Max from the UK, but after receiving it and checking it, I realised that it had ‘Apple Acconut’ instead of ‘Apple Account,’ and there was no option for the battery health.” — A Ghanaian woman was left shocked after discovering that the iPhone 17 Pro Max she ordered from the UK was counterfeit, with a misspelled ‘Apple Acconut’ instead of ‘Apple Account,’ no battery health option, and other fake features.

Sturm on when he noticed the team funding a lot of chemistry: "Even when we were winning, that was not it, I think there was like weeks after that... The players now, they realize how they have to play, too. It's two different stories. So I always had this in my mind, but the players didn't get it yet, and all of a sudden, now we think the same thing. So I can't really give you exact date, but it was definitely way after our winning streak."

Every year I review the iPhone. But NOT this year. This year Joannabot has taken over the job. Seriously! We fed my #iPhone16 test notes and 10 years of my iPhone reviews to a generative AI bot. And it’s pretty… great?! Come ask it questions about my testing of the iPhone 16, what phone to buy or dogs. It really likes dogs!

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, on why the iPhone, the greatest consumer device ever made, is the wrong hardware for the AI era: Sam argues the iPhone's basic design wasn't made for a world where AI needs to live alongside your entire life. "I think the iPhone is currently the greatest piece of consumer hardware ever made by a lot. Like, incredible what that has done." The iPhone was designed for a pre-AI world. Sam Altman explains: "It was not meant for a world where you needed a piece of hardware that could absorb all of the context of your life. You know, you can use the phone, you can stop using the phone, you can put it in your pocket, but it's kind of like on or off." That binary, on or off, in use or in your pocket, is the core mismatch. A device that flips between active and dormant can't continuously absorb the context that a personal AGI would need to actually be useful to you. Sam uses the conversation he's having in that moment as the example: "This has been a very interesting conversation. I would love this to be referenced by my personal AGI later, but my phone is in my pocket and it's not going to understand." The vision he's pointing toward is a device that participates differently: "I would like a device that, if I wanted to, can participate and understand and know about this conversation." The shift Sam is describing is from a device you pick up and put down, to one that quietly captures the context of your life. Without that continuous context, a personal AGI can't actually be personal.

Every time I pick up the iPhone Air, I’m blown away by how thin and light it is. I just keep turning it in my hands, can’t believe we’ve reached this point. Of course, my main phone will still be the iPhone 17 Pro Max with its big battery and pro cameras, but I dream of the day we get that power in an iPhone Air form factor. It’s so so good.

Trump: "Frankly, had covid not come along, because that was another thing -- we had to fix it, it was very destructive to the whole world but we had to fix it -- and yet I handed back the reins of a company, a country, that was better, think of it. The stock market was higher than it was just prior to covid coming in."

Arteta: “Throughout this journey, we have made some massive steps, and we have accomplished a lot of things that, in my opinion, have a lot of value, but at the end of the day, we are here to win major trophies. “That was the ultimate goal, and we were very close. And in three occasions, we fell short at the end, and that was very painful. But I think that's what has driven all of us to find new ways to show what we are made of. That's what I said, the manner that we've done it, it makes it even better.”

I have used the iPhone 17 Pro for more than 2 months. And I can honestly tell you, iPhone 17 is not the upgrade of the year, the iPhone 17 Pro is. iPhone 17 got features that were overdue. iPhone 17 Pro fixes things, long standing issues, annoyances, and nobody seems to be talking about it. I do, in my video. Link below.
