Man, I can't even begin to imagine what they're going to come up with. Titanium AIPods. Non-detachable alluminum RayBans. Google Glass, but it's a literal Black Mirror worn on your face. Self-driving Segway. Transparent plastic smart lunchbox. Electric long-board that's also a tablet. Fist-mountable selfdefense impact jackhammer. 5G base station Zurb ball. A keyboard that starts repeating nnnn when you think of what you want to type. Neuralink, but for discreetly listening to major record label IP. Contact lens payment system where you wink to tip your landlord. Quantified shelf. A car without a steering wheel, made entirely out of Corning glass. Heelies that auto-reverse when they sense an oncoming homeless person. Van-life, but it's a sentient executive jet plane. Longevity device that puts you to sleep for at least 8 hours every day. Intimacy fit-ring. Schedulable dopamine-inhibiting nanobots? This could be huge.

If you're this good when trolling for 5 minutes, I would be amazed to see you work seriously. Honestly some of those ideas are... terrible, of course, but awesome in their own distorted way. And also very Ive-like.

Bravo, sir.

This is hardly trolling. I just birthed 12 startups.
I have 12 checks ready to go.
This completely sells it
Just imagine a Ive-designed retina-scanning-orb! Easily worth a billion to SoftBank, easily!
Consumers will love it. Give them 50 NewBucks™ for their service and you'll get retinas by the billions.
I need a self driving Segway, yesterday.
Should be able to avoid cliffs without a radar. You can always add it back later anyway.
An electric car that you need to turn up side down to charge? An AI assistant device that looks like a trashcan?
I came across this video of a Tesla that drives upside down: https://youtu.be/Qq5Q1qKW-1g?si=RVDHJZm47s-rCot-

Bit of a guilty pleasure, but it’s a sight to behold for sure.

> Heelies that auto-reverse when they sense an oncoming homeless person.

JFC lmao

Self driving trashcan, brings your trash to the landfill while you sleep so you don't have to pay for garbage pickup. Enable the automatic trash sorting attachment for only $999/month.
Many fancy smart fridges are already quantified shelves. I see you are still adding stuff... let's keep it going.... Rideable Boston Dynamics Spot for commuting. An smart vape-pen line of medications. Smart Wigs. Self driving strollers.
Woah, quantified shelf market is done for. Point taken. Idk, Boston Dynamics Zoo? How is that more ethical though :$

If you brand these ‘Wheelie Safe’ and market to upper middle class urbanites you’ll have more money than you know what to do with. Careful, you might end up a billionaire!

Plot twist. He is Ive.... or a very good ai representation.
Yes, you CAN begin to imagine what they're going to come up with!
Haha truly a creative mind to come up with this
Non-detachable aluminium RayBans. You’re welcome.
Let's stay constructive and just go with sheet metal for V1 then ;-/
