If you spend your life sitting in a chair, that's fine. I tend to get all kinds of ideas, questions, and research needs while I'm walking around. Typing a paragraph or two or context takes too much time and is very risky. Especially when driving. But also just walking, cooking, cleaning, etc. Sometimes it's just not practical - winter, carrying stuff... I mostly feel privileged if I can just sit at a computer and type my question and have the time to read the answer.

When I was still using OpenAI, I used it among other things to translate from English to Spanish while talking to Spanish-speaking people in person.

I understand a bit Spanish but I don’t speak Spanish yet, and they don’t speak English.

I speak English to the AI and end with “translate to Spanish, translation only”, and then the AI says the thing I was saying in Spanish (not perfect but good enough, and also it has a slightly weird accent that might be it using English or English influenced text to speech even when speaking Spanish sentences?).

I am someone that prefers a slack message to a coworker than talking to them and I use AI.

My current flow is: Google Eloquent to capture 127WPM (my typing is best case is 65wpm). This lets me get the thoughts out without thinking too much about structure or flow, the same way I would brain-dump type it.

Next I use AI to compress, summarize, and restructure to create a clear coherent message for my peer to read (which is way faster for them).

When communicating with AI, its the same thing, except I skip the second step since AI does a good job at understanding my ramblings.

It drives me crazy that some cultures only send voice messages to each other. It drives me crazy they can't be respectful of my time and use STT+AI to convert their 90 second monologue to a few written sentences.

Much faster and better flow. Don't knock it til you've tried it.

it's very confusing. maaaybe if the stt is good and fast enough, speaking may be faster? english speakers can probably hit 150-180 wpm but seems like a hassle

Accessibility.

Hànzì can use 30%-40% fewer tokens than English. So, yes, it probably thinks better in Chinese.

That makes sense. I haven’t found it work in api yet.

What subscription?

I feel like '/s' has ruined irony on the internet. Irony is at its best if left ambiguous, lol.

If everything goes to plan everyone involved with big US models will be trillionaire and everyone else will poor and unemployed. If there are open and cheap to run Chinese models (and please god silicon) the financial house of cards that we have build will fall, people involved with big US models will be poor and unemployed, and everyone else will be slightly less poor and unemployed than in the first scenario.

What is good for Dario is good for America.

Why do you think it’s free?

Any ideas, theories where they get their payoff?
