Jony Ive is a designer verses Tony Fadell who is a hardware guy.

Ive is a very talented artist but AI is not being held back by people unwilling to courageously make things thinner and thinner.

I would imagine Ive looked at an Apple HomePod and thought “we could make this beautifully flat and hang it on the wall of every room in the house”. This might be a good idea but it in no way solves the major problems with AI/LLMs.
