How so? I don’t believe that Ive is going along with the purchase.

  No? It's not a acqui-hire? The article says "joining forces with the legendary designer to make a push into hardware." Nobody says what kind of hardware. A wearable is the likely bet. Maybe a home robot, but that's a few years out.

  OpenAI has recruited Jony Ive, the designer behind Apple’s iPhone, to lead a new hardware project for the artificial intelligence company that makes ChatGPT. .. OpenAI said it already owns a 23% stake in io from a prior collaborative agreement signed late last year. It says it will now pay $5 billion in equity for the acquisition. .. OpenAI said Ive will not become an OpenAI employee and LoveFrom will remain independent but “will assume deep design and creative responsibilities across OpenAI and io.” https://apnews.com/article/jony-ive-openai-chatgpt-52c72786e54f0ead8b04d037c30d6754 https://apnews.com/article/jony-ive-openai-chatgpt-52c72786e...

    The link however isn't informative since "independent" can mean its opposite. Along with every other word in the article. We are after all literally talking about the guy who called openai "open"ai? Even your kid knows that none of the words used need make any sense.
