Why is OpenAI selling a ChatGPT basketball?

You may have heard that OpenAI released its first piece of hardware this week: a $230 mini keyboard. You may not have heard that alongside this “command center for agentic work,” OpenAI also released a ChatGPT basketball.

“This basketball comes from the Pause. Play. Prompt. campaign, a physical reminder that creativity doesn’t just live on our screens,” the product listing explains.
