    Background article from Variety tells us io is a startup founded by the guy who is credited with building the iPhone.

      It reads like something from the show Silicon Valley. Amazing that no one involved was aware of the trope. "Elevate humanity" xD

    This has really strong jabberwocky vibes. It's an announcement that communicates absolutely nothing.

    Scam Altman strikes again. It looks a lot like a financial move to yield more power over the OpenAI for-profit branch, made with imaginary money/valuation that their peers pumped up with VC...

      I have my phone set to greyscale during work hours to try reduce distraction. I took one look at the website design and that top image and just knew that if I re-enabled colour it would still be in greyscale.

      Funny how what is old is new again. Recently I attended an event sponsored by a design agency that really wanted you to know that Apple's design language in the 80s was the peak of the industry.

      It reminds me of when World came up with the Orb and they had a half-hour presentation about it which didn’t tell us anything about what it actually was. But somehow this seems even more pretentious.
