Dave Morin corrects Jessica Lessin's characterization of Jony Ive and Sam Altman's on-stage discussion with Laureen Powell Jobs regarding the release timeline for their joint AI hardware device.
“There was a bunch of Lorraine Powell jobs trying to get Johnny to pin down a timeline. And he said, I can't talk about that. You can probably get more out of Sam than me. And then Lorraine said, Then she said, well, is it five years? And he's like, no, no, no, no. Much earlier than that. And she said, two years? And he said, probably earlier than that.”
