If only there was some sort of device that would allow you to input those commands without interfering with others, or vice versa... But it's probably just a dream...

Dozens of people communicating with AI at the same time? While this guy is sitting alone in his house?

Use a keyboard ya filthy casuals

[–] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Why not give them private offices? If AI is increasing productivity and replacing workers they should have enough space left.

Cap here. The product is called vocal dampener and made for singers (during warmup)

Every husband here is sad for all those years he didn't knew these existed. Mothers and teachers wonder if these are available in kid-sizes. Kids wonder what glue works on both this device and the teachers skin.

I just cannot tell if this is satire or not

It's lazy enough to vibe code, but when you're too lazy to even type a prompt.....sheeeesh

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

I have never seen anyone except streamers try this out in all honesty, I doubt the article is actually truthful. Even vibe coders understand how to type.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository...

You win best comment award on this thread. 🏆

If you're brave enough, anything can become a suppository.

Techbros will have workers do anything but work from home.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Or have single-person offices instead of an open space

A noise cancelling microphone isn't a terrible invention though.

I've seen those things 10 years ago when somebody was helping a deaf student in university. Used one of those things to talk to a text to speech engine during the lecture. Seemed to work quite well.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I've also seen them on court stenographers and thought they looked cool. Not everyone needs every invention, though.

Hahhaha you misunderstand to whom you are speaking. Give me my coding plague trough immediately.

So typing isn't fast enough to burn all the daily tokens?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 59 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The faster you burn them the sooner you knock off for the day.

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.

[–] Beehaw_Girl@beehaw.org 1 points 15 hours ago

Maybe this was designed for illiterate coders.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

you assume that vibe-coders can actually touch type. or type at all.

When you need a nannybot? Yes.

I love the implication that he's speaking to the AI and wants to not disturb people, but has no headphones on. so I can only assume it's responding from the speakers.

noteYes, I know it could be responding over text instead of voice.

What the fuck did I just read?

Back in the day there used to be specialized equipment for this purpose called an office, of which you had your own and could close the door to

in this one picture, I see generation of so many individual great ideas coalescing into one fantastically bad idea that is so... bizarre that I can both simultaneously understand why nobody really saw it coming, and am in low-key disbelief that this is even real...

Hook it up to a bong and you've suddenly made work a hell of a lot more interesting.
