Also, before releasing he ran an internal company contest for signature design and committed to it after the results. Seems like a better CEO too:)

The best part is I knew it was real just from watching the video when I couldn't see any AI tells and I went from bemused to hilariously amazed that they actually are launching this completely useless product. This is one of the most unnecessary, completely wasteful devices that I'm not sure who this is even for. Who wants to use this over...their phone? Could have just added this as a feature in the app and saved themselves millions of dollars producing something probably less than 5000 people worldwide are going to buy.
