Dozens of people communicating with AI at the same time? While this guy is sitting alone in his house?

Use a keyboard ya filthy casuals

If only there was some sort of device that would allow you to input those commands without interfering with others, or vice versa... But it's probably just a dream...

[–] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 18 hours ago

Why not give them private offices? If AI is increasing productivity and replacing workers they should have enough space left.

Cap here. The product is called vocal dampener and used by singers during warmup

Every husband here is sad for all those years he didn't knew these existed. Mothers and teachers wonder if these are available in kid-sizes. Kids wonder what glue works on both this device and the teachers skin.

Hahhaha you misunderstand to whom you are speaking. Give me my coding plague trough immediately.

When you need a nannybot? Yes.

I have never seen anyone except streamers try this out in all honesty, I doubt the article is actually truthful. Even vibe coders understand how to type.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository...

You win best comment award on this thread. 🏆

If you're brave enough, anything can become a suppository.

A noise cancelling microphone isn't a terrible invention though.

I've seen those things 10 years ago when somebody was helping a deaf student in university. Used one of those things to talk to a text to speech engine during the lecture. Seemed to work quite well.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I've also seen them on court stenographers and thought they looked cool. Not everyone needs every invention, though.

Techbros will have workers do anything but work from home.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Or have single-person offices instead of an open space

It's lazy enough to vibe code, but when you're too lazy to even type a prompt.....sheeeesh

I love the implication that he's speaking to the AI and wants to not disturb people, but has no headphones on. so I can only assume it's responding from the speakers.

noteYes, I know it could be responding over text instead of voice.

What the fuck did I just read?

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 57 points 1 day ago (19 children)

Isn’t it cheaper and quieter to just type out your prompts?

This is akin to people who have conversations on speakerphone in public places.

[–] Beehaw_Girl@beehaw.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Maybe this was designed for illiterate coders.

So typing isn't fast enough to burn all the daily tokens?

Before I read the text I thought this was a photo of a stenographer; they used those or similar in depositions I've given.

Started hating working in tech a year ago and got out.
