I personally hit the "Speakularity" ~4 months ago – when voice transcription becomes fast, cheap, and good enough to use all the time.

Roughly half my text input is voice (when I'm alone in a room). Using OpenAI's Whisper hooked up to a keyboard shortcut and paste the transcription inline.
Quality is the big difference – Whisper never makes a mistake. Unlike Apple's native TTS which transcribes lines from absurdist fiction novellas when I'm just listing grocery items.
Took some adjustment. I had to learn to speak in a "writing voice" without ums, ahs, and repetition. Could probably fix this with a prompt layer though.
But it makes writing much lower friction and faster. I've "written" way more because of it.
Anyone else notice the step change and start exploring voice input more?
@bryanlives@DallasBarnes Wait it doesn’t? If everyone is as oblivious as we are.. we may be ok? Otherwise they’ll think I’ve been a straight up asshole.
@DallasBarnes@dustanner @TwitterDesign One one side I agree with you. Universal icons are fairly safe, but then to be consistent anytime you introduce anything unique, you’re back at square zero because you’re not going to have half labeled half unlabeled. Like what even is this?
@DallasBarnes I always loved the different types of “claws” designers made when trying to hit the “save for web” hotkey in Pshop, aka command + shift + option + s. If you used both hands you’re a quitter.
@elonmusk Are there any specs or requirements to get current apps or websites to work with Neuralink? Or will the link just emulate touch / click events?
@eBay Super unpopular opinion, but the Brazil custom series 3. Still seeking out a size 12 but I'm confident they don't exist. -- #cherryontop#sweepstakes:
