also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

What Did Men Do to Deserve This?

My deaf ass co-signs. And can you imagine yelling at your computer in the middle of a shared workspace??
So you want my deaf ass to talk and *listen* to control the PC? Yeah no.
I’m all for it as an accessibility thing. But a primary method of computing? Nope. Not with LLMs anyway. We’re nowhere near Star Trek computers.

Was at a food court eating lunch today and people watching, and watched this legend at the Chinese buffet pay $16 for the large takeaway container, ask for a plastic carry bag, put the container into the bag, and then shovel as much Chinese food into the bag as possible, tie the handles and walk out

I swear the inventors of all "wearable devices" are exactly the kind of people that suddenly talk loudly to their bluetooth earpiece in public and then get annoyed if you respond thinking they were talking to you. Meanwhile most people set even their phone keyboards to silent
Literally the first time my computer says something out loud to me, unprompted, it is going straight in the trash can. My phone is on silent and in another room, gtf outta here with that bs.
Hahaha this device is never going to release, or if it does it will become notorious for its shittiness, like if pets.com released the N-GAGE

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
