OpenAI and Jony Ive Build Wearable AI as Social Need

OpenAI and Jony Ive aren't just trying to beat AirPods. This project belongs to a different category. They're trying to make wearable AI feel like a given. Most attempts failed because the gear looked like a clunky tech experiment or a sci-fi prop. Meta's glasses still feel like you're just a beta tester for them. Ive knows that people won't change their habits unless the device feels essential. He spent his career making tech so attractive that people bought it before they even knew why they needed it. The iPod and iPhone weren't first, but they made you feel left behind if you didn't own them. "Dime" is going for that same feeling. You'll buy it because not having one feels like a social mistake. The hardware isn't the real product here. The feeling that you have to own it is.
