Huffing their own farts.
Maybe they should try typing
With their fingers? Like they use to wipe their butts?
At the end of Idiocracy, they showed hoses pulling water out of toilets to water plants.
To extend the joke, I’m picturing devices strapped to people’s asses to let them type by wiping their butts.
We know better today, though. Our narrative will simply end on flames.
This picture is something else with satirical text imposed on it, yeah? Measuring CO2 or something? Why wouldn’t you just type? Why does the mask cover the nose? It’s not plugged into his laptop, so maybe a specialized device offscreen? The small office/work area doesn’t fit the vibe.
Yeah, I think it’s just one of those gamer isolation masks (or a weird stenography mask).
you put your mic inside it but it muffles the sound from the rest of the room. Some people use them as steno masks, or just to be polite while in the office and you’re in a bunch of meetings or similar. They’ve been around for ages, they got really popular during covid.
They might be using it for text-to-speech, but it’s a product that’s existed for years for use with text to speech so it’s not particularly a sign of the times.
It does look like a stenomask, but the over the nose thing is different. I don’t know why you wouldn’t just type. Maybe it dampens the screaming.
I’ve actually asked one of the software devs at my company about this. The answer is “typing is too slow” - the idea goes that you can dictate 2-3x faster than you can type, and since the current software market is focused on FASTER FASTER MORE SPEED MORE CODE NOW, and your performance is often only measured in how many lines of code you produce, the only way you can stay competitive is to dictate to your dozen AI agents, with you just auditing and debugging the output when needed.
That cord to the mask is definitely an audio cord.
Anti speech to text Aktion. I refuse to talk to the machine that lies to you like if it was human.
Just fucking type the command! If you were actually proficient with a keyboard it would be much faster than the three attempts at least you would need to get voice to text close enough.
You merely adopted the slop. I was born in it. Molded by it. I had not seen original code until I was already senior manager.
Pretty sure that’s the same mask used by pilots just with the extra oxygen tube removed. Amazing.
It’s quite possible that in the future, ai bros will rediscover “thinking”:
I mean, for them it’s just “discover”
lmao that’s amazing
Rubber ducky debugging FTW!
Works great with writing tickets as well.
versus the chad dictating the directly into your phone on speaker mode and not even bothering the correct any speech to text mistakes
We are actually in the Matrix already. This reality we are seeing is the Matrix trying to re-make the Matrix using FORTRAN as a side project.
We are reality’s side hustle.
Oh my god just fucking type to them, christ
A lot of people are really bad at typing, especially now that they’re all growing up on swipe-screen tablets and phones.
God im better at using llms than these llm nerds, AND better at keyboards? I should feel good but i don’t. The future is a scary place
I used to think I was a bad programmer, but honestly, at least I can fucking type
not what i meant when i asked for more masking
I really want it to be true
