Techbros will have workers do anything but work from home.
I just cannot tell if this is satire or not
Welcome to clown world!
Save money. Get human shaped boxes with lids that they can lay down in to save energy to increase productivity!
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.
Deepseek recently published a paper in which they describe that vision tokens contain more information than text tokens and that this can be used to compress context.
We present DeepSeek-OCR as an initial investigation into the feasibility of compressing long contexts via optical 2D mapping.
Experiments show that when the number of text tokens is within 10 times that of vision tokens (i.e., a compression ratio < 10×), the model can achieve decoding (OCR) precision of 97%. Even at a compression ratio of 20×, the OCR accuracy still remains at about 60%. This shows considerable promise for research areas such as historical long-context compression and memory forgetting mechanisms in LLMs.
It reminds me of LLM caveman speak, it used to have another option to use Chinese instead of English. A language like Chinese is seemingly better at encoding information in fewer tokens and I think this is the same mechanism why OCR tokens work so well.
That said, I also doubt that voice messages are more efficient than text prompts, but it’s best not to waste too much time engaging with these sorts of LinkedIn posts (and LinkedIn in general).
Speaking is faster than typing, I guess?
Stick the other end in someone’s butthole and, boom, you got the e-human centipede!
Do people really talk to LLMs that often?
This is how you get Guild Navigators, you dont want that do you?
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
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.
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.
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
So typing isn’t fast enough to burn all the daily tokens?
Have you seen people type? Toich-typing is a lost artform.
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.
They don’t even have to do that. Just don’t pack them in like sardines.
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?
No.
