OpenAI's New Trademark Application Hints at Humanoid Robots, Smart Jewelry, and More

OpenAI has filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark hardware products under its brand name, signaling potential expansion into consumer devices. The filing covers AI-assisted headsets, smart wearables and humanoid robots with communication capabilities. CEO Sam Altman told The Elect on Sunday that OpenAI plans to develop AI hardware through multiple partnerships, though he estimated prototypes would take "several years" to complete.

Can we have a little less of OpenAI?

There is absolutely no reason to cover their crap in such detail. Once a week is more than enough, thank you.

You dare to want less of our AI overlords?

Dare? Meh, your AI overlords are hardly that intimidating.

Seriously though, there are several very important stories with high ratings in the "firehose" queue just now, but we get crap about sam altman's most recent brainpuke instead.

Why?

I was just kidding around. I agree, it seems like half the stories on /. are about AI or specifically OpenAI. Maybe the submitters have all been replaced by AI? It would be hard to tell if they had.

Well, it's slightly interesting, but a trademark doesn't represent a large investment when it's not tied to either a product or an advertising campaign.

ha ha! What does she look like?

Meanwhile...

...Other researchers are making genuinely useful advances in biology, math, physics, etc using a different variant of AI
Consumer facing AI is still crap
