It’s quite possible that in the future, ai bros will rediscover “thinking”:
I mean, for them it’s just “discover”
versus the chad dictating the directly into your phone on speaker mode and not even bothering the correct any speech to text mistakes
You merely adopted the slop. I was born in it. Molded by it. I had not seen original code until I was already senior manager.
Anti speech to text Aktion. I refuse to talk to the machine that lies to you like if it was human.
Maybe they should try typing
With their fingers? Like they use to wipe their butts?
This picture is something else with satirical text imposed on it, yeah? Measuring CO2 or something? Why wouldn’t you just type? Why does the mask cover the nose? It’s not plugged into his laptop, so maybe a specialized device offscreen? The small office/work area doesn’t fit the vibe.
Yeah, I think it’s just one of those gamer isolation masks (or a weird stenography mask).
you put your mic inside it but it muffles the sound from the rest of the room. Some people use them as steno masks, or just to be polite while in the office and you’re in a bunch of meetings or similar. They’ve been around for ages, they got really popular during covid.
They might be using it for text-to-speech, but it’s a product that’s existed for years for use with text to speech so it’s not particularly a sign of the times.
It does look like a stenomask, but the over the nose thing is different. I don’t know why you wouldn’t just type. Maybe it dampens the screaming.
That cord to the mask is definitely an audio cord.
Just fucking type the command! If you were actually proficient with a keyboard it would be much faster than the three attempts at least you would need to get voice to text close enough.
I actually want that. Not so I can chat to the AI, but so that everyone else who is forced into the office so that they can be on a call with their teammates in other regions don’t distract me, and vice versa. I have noise cancelling headphones, but even they aren’t enough.
I’m old enough to remember cubicles that had noise absorbing walls. Idk who thought open offices with hard reflecting surfaces was a good idea.
Managers who thought a panopticon was the best way to organize.
In a previous job, the manager had a low horizontal slit window in his office that allowed him to watch everybody in the open office from a seating position.
best way to organize
Best way to surveil
Density.
Meeting rooms are there for a reason. And if there are not enough, good excuse to not go to the office
This is why WFH is the way
Pretty sure that’s the same mask used by pilots just with the extra oxygen tube removed. Amazing.
