I just cannot tell if this is satire or not
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.
apparently audio and images are more efficient compared to text for multimodal models?
I’m going to need significant levels of convincing. Computers have always preferred specificity and accuracy, it’s half the reason I’m in my current position (MSP Escalations/level 3, half of my success at fixing issues is being extremely specific in looking up exact error messages instead of paraphrasing).
This isn’t a defense of AI; on the contrary, it’s my doubt that AI can read intentions/inflection/emotion better than just writing out what you actually want.
Speaking is faster than typing, I guess?
Do people really talk to LLMs that often?
Hook it up to a bong and you’ve suddenly made work a hell of a lot more interesting.
I was gonna fill mine with oatmeal and chow down, but I think there’s some good work we can do putting both our minds together on this one.
The real vibe coding
How about we just get to the logical conclusion:
✨ Techbro Land ✨
Hook them up to a simulation, yes, like The Matrix! In this simulation they get to do everything they dream of.
Crypto shitcoins as far as the eye can see. Their stonks all go to the moon. Everybody is prompting Ai any time their neurons accidentally bump together. The simulation will accurately simulate an entire earth population just prompting AI and glued to their phones. Look! More profits! Wow.
Ai gambling! Ai sports! Ai art! Ai dating! Ai social media! Ai business! Ai porn! It’s all here in ✨ Techbro Land ✨.
We can even accurately simulate mass misery of the general population so our little tenants feel superior! Meanwhile, the Techbro doesn’t need to sleep. They believe they unlocked the code to Immortality by micro dosing various hallucinogens and stimulants, allowing them to spend 100% of their day in a chair reviewing an Ai agent’s reviewing of vibe code!
There are no “regulations” or even governments in ✨ Techbro Land ✨ . There’s a single AI Simulated Singularity (A.S.S) TechBroKing Fascist that makes all the memes, and punishes all the poor working consumption class. Every living situation is AirBnB. All the cars are self driving 24 ton pickups. Trains only exist to ship drones and supplies for infinite data centers and government contracts.
Computing is subscription only, games are rented by the minute, nobody owns anything.
Profits go up and up and up and up and up without end. No climate change, despite the global temperature going up 12⁰C, wars are fought daily with killer robots…I could go on.
The important thing is: These little hoodie-clad megalomanics can’t even tell they’re actually just locked safely away from the rest of us in stasis in a former mega data center.
…The rest of us, in the real world, take the best of our computing standards with us, and dial all the bullshit back to like 2004 and try this shit again.
This is such a Kafkaesque cyberpunk dystopian problem. This is needed because owners and managers want open offices for surveillance and coat cutting. They are also aware that only about half of workers thrive in those environments while the other have drops in productivity. Solution a cheap muzzle so that the workers who aren’t as productive in noisy environments aren’t disturbed.
Meanwhile could you imagine the smell of those things. You’d have to wash them everyday or have some kind of cover for them not to just have a permanent funk.
Instead of the tech of RecDep of 1984, we get the SlopShop.
Anyone needs handmade wooden furniture?
Because that’s what i’m going to be switching careers to if that trend comes to my place.
Woodworking is surprisingly popular among tech folk. It seems some hobbies just click better for techies. Bouldering is another example.
Sewing/designing clothes really clicked for me. Haven’t tried woodworking, but I imagine it scratches the same itch and utilizes similar skills: 90% of sewing is just planning, calculation, and measuring. Then, watch everything just fit together into place
Never hesitate to rescue wooden pallets, but don’t waste gas on retrieving them either. You can use an iron railroad tie as a chisel for dismantling them
chat, is this real?
Chat are we cooked fr?
high end office headsets already have excellent isolation, wearing a muzzle is just a humiliation ritual.
how does a headset isolate their voice
Fuck if I know, all I know is you can sit next to a blender in a busy office full of crying babies and barking dogs while writing a dissertation on an electric typewriter and the person on the other end of the line would never be able to tell. Professional headsets (like in the $300-$500 range) are honestly pretty incredible. If these silicon valley offices are too noisy for a high end EOS to handle, or if they genuinely have that many people constantly talking all day to the point that it’s a problem then they need to go back to the drawing board. Steno masks have their place but for anything a garden variety techbro is doing they’re either performative bullshit or a lazy bandaid. I guaranfuckingtee bossman has no interest in putting one of these on.
I imagine it’s like the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) mode of headphones which will monitor background noise and then calculate the inverse sound wave and play that sound to you which in effect mostly cancels out the background noise (works better for certain frequencies than others). For a microphone they could do the same but instead of playing you the inverse sound, they could play it through the microphone for whomever is listening.
So typing isn’t fast enough to burn all the daily tokens?
Have you seen people type? Toich-typing is a lost artform.
They don’t even have to do that. Just don’t pack them in like sardines.
The faster you burn them the sooner you knock off for the day.
the faster you burn them the sooner you burnout
“knock off for the day?” Not until you’ve trained your replacement (LLM)! Then you can take all the time you like, income-free
If I’m being forced to spend AI tokens up in a day I’m spending the rest job hunting.
if you talk AND type you can burn twice the tokens and get the same result! it’s a win win win
Most type faster than they speak, no?
So what is the real purpose? Surely this can’t be it. Trying to solve a problem that has been solved more efficiently tons of times.
Just be like me and assume it’s a shitpost until proven otherwise. If it’s real then he’s probably testing a specialised equipment
