In this clip, Chris and Yaniv break down why this all-stock deal might be the boldest “acquihire” in tech history. They explain why Jony Ive is being treated like a late-stage co-founder at OpenAI, how it exposes OpenAI’s biggest vulnerability, and what the deal signals about their push into hardware and brand.
