Oh, you think text to speech is your ally, but you merely adopted it. I was born in it, molded by it.

I would bet cold, hard cash that the people making and selling this spent time during the early COVID pandemic screaming about how masking is a communist plot that violated their rights.

If you put on a feeding bag to code I'm going to mock you mercilessly and many people will join me.

I don't think there's enough oxygen in that mask.

Witness me lowly junior devs, as I ship updates at 150 WPM with my robot legs. Your fear of looking ridiculous is a skill issue. I’m a genius.

Hey, if you mount a few spiked studs, some LEDs, and a couple biohazard stickers on this sucker you got yourself a solid rave mask.

Yeah, because typing speed is the bottleneck here...

Three major releases in a day sounds like they have one release and two major bug fixes that day

Mind you, I've actually tried some of these newfangled dictation tools. Most of them are a simple transcription -> llm cleaning pipeline that doesn't work nearly as well as they claim. You basically give up all control over the formatting/style. It's also useless where precision matters and you can't have random transcription errors lying around.

The companies behind it claim insanse things like a 10x speedup in wpm you can output. I tried it and it was.. slower.

Part of the problem is me ig. Talking has always required effort for me, which seems to confuse other people. But when I'm dictating to one of these, I'm going slower (because talking clearly is hard) and I'm actively dumber (because talking takes brainpower).

That said, I did find them useful for when I can't type/dirty hands/being lazy.

But there's no need to pay an AI company $20/month for that. I run a model locally, get full privacy and no cost beyond a bit of battery

Both of those people are using a keyboard.

I have a 6 year old mic that doesn't pick up noise beyond about two inches from it. No need for this mask, this shit is for dumbasses trying to feel smart.

Pair it with a VR headset instead of a screen and you're almost at peak obedient worker drone. Just gotta wait for Elons brain-computer interface to dole out reward and punishment directly to your brain.

Why does it seem like the goal of all this AI crap is "a computer for the illiterate"? For people who can't type. Who want to speak without being heard. Huge market for this.

Sightly unrelated but I will say, I really like masks from a fashion stand point. They look good and reference a recent event.

Smh he'll be replaced by our 1000x dev, very soon.

Send cash.

Promise, 1000x
