Issue #25: The Next iPhone Won't Be a Smartphone

Today, we're focusing on the flood of new AI hardware hitting the market. From smart glasses to wearable devices that monitor your every move, it seems everyone wants to outfit you with the latest AI tech.
Let’s go! 👇
Intuition is a kind of reason, but it is a reason which surpasses the ordinary reason.
The AI hardware landscape is buzzing with innovation and investment. After Humane's surprise launch of the AI Pin at Paris Fashion Week, Rewind announced its Pendant—a wearable that captures and transcribes everything you say and hear. Not to be outdone, Meta has rolled out Ray-Ban smart glasses and Tab, while OpenAI's Sam Altman and iPhone designer Jony Ive are in talks with SoftBank to raise $1 billion for a new AI hardware device. This flurry of activity indicates a significant shift from software to hardware, with startups and tech giants alike vying to replace smartphones with AI-powered devices.
AI hardware is flooding the market, from wearables that monitor your every move to OpenAI's latest ventures. Remember: Data is just noise if you don't know how to interpret it. You can have all the metrics in the world, but if you can't discern what's relevant, you're paralyzed. Never discount your gut; it's your built-in, battle-tested data processor.
Now, let's talk about social interactions. These AI tools can analyze voice tones, facial expressions, and even predict behavior. But don't get it twisted. If you lean too heavily on this tech, you'll lose your innate ability to read people, to negotiate, and to win. Balance is not the goal; maintaining your edge is. You're not a robot, so don't act like one.
And let's not dance around the mental health issue. This influx of AI can mess with your head. It's not just the data overload; it's the constant surveillance, the erosion of privacy, the relentless push to optimize every second of your life. If you let this tech control you, it will break you. Your mental health is not a variable in an algorithm; it's the core of your existence.
How to Be a Glitch
🔥 Own Your Data: AI hardware is generating data points about you every second. Take control. Move your data off the cloud and shield yourself from AI scraping.
🔥 Lock Down Your Privacy: Your life is not an open book for AI to read. Dive into those privacy settings. Make sure you're the one in control.
🔥 Watch Your Words: In an AI-driven world, loose lips don't just sink ships; they can ruin lives. Be cautious. Be smart. Speak wisely.
🔥 Get Informed: Terms of service look like gibberish? Use ChatGPT to decode it. Ignorance is not bliss; it's a liability.
