They then became way more interesting when Ive confirmed his company is working with Sam Altman's OpenAI on an AI device.

Who is Jony Ive?

If you are reading this, it's relatively safe to assume you know Ive's background: A friend of Steve Jobs and his wife Lauren Powell Jobs (about which more later), Apple's former chief designer, the guy who designed the iMac, iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple stores and even Apple Park -- among other things. ...

"Jack" Goldman, chief scientist of Xerox Corporation, as a division of Xerox, tasked with creating computer technology-related products and hardware systems.[1][5]

Xerox PARC has been foundational to numerous revolutionary computer developments, including laser printing, Ethernet, the modern personal computer, GUI (graphical user interface) and desktop paradigm, object-oriented programming, ubiquitous computing, electronic paper, a-Si (amorphous silicon) applications, the computer mouse, and VLSI (very-large-scale integration) for semiconductors.[6][5] ...
