Fuck AI, but if this was something those loud public phone people could wear that would be great. Like the dude shouting into his phone on the bus, pair it with some headphones leave us in peace

Does it come with a spit valve?

A water key* is needed in wind instruments because they have long tubing that is likely to be cold enough to condense water out of breath and which hence gets trapped inside it. Not applicable here.

Instead of the tech of RecDep of 1984, we get the SlopShop.

I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.

It's a different tool, but for much the same end. I want to say it's more because the device is cheaper than a typical stenography machine would cost, but I don't know that for sure.

I think stenographers in courts are already using them.

Stick the other end in someone's butthole and, boom, you got the e-human centipede!

So they know their products would be useless in a noisy environment? They can't pick out the voice they need like an actual human being can in a crowd (excluding some with hearing difficulties)?

Please don’t show this to my boss.

Well, we've always known that the internet is a series of tubes.

Fucking idiotic.

this would be useful for when I need to talk on the phone near others without disturbing them
