  value: OpenAI as an inevitable hardware innovator — already moving beyond software into distinctive physical AI interfaces.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No sourcing attribution (e.g., unnamed insider, leak channel, document); No mention of prior OpenAI hardware signals or contradictions (e.g., CEO statements on hardware focus); No comparison to existing smart speaker form factors or acoustic engineering constraints
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines brand authority (OpenAI), visual memorability ('doughnut'), and passive attribution ('reportedly') to create a sense of momentum without accountability; the claim feels oversized because shape is foregrounded while every meaningful validation signal — who, why, how, when — is omitted.
