>An electronic Siren's Song if you will. Notifications on your smartphone that's always on you are way better for that purpose, than on a device that's tied to your desk. Add Gacha mechanics for +100% extra damage. Devices tied to your desk are actually very good for tech detox. So if getting you hooked was OpenAI's goal with this, they definitely missed by a 1000 miles.

Agree, but there's also the psychological impact of having spent over 200 smackers on this thing and then letting it go unused lol

That's the key, a physical object is much more easily made part of a devs identity.

Projecting a hacker image has become very fashion based. e.g., some devs love their clickity-clackity keyboards with LEDs, others have those all-blacks ones with nothing on the keys.

This is partially an on-ramp for young people. No experience? Not sure where to start? Buy this gadget! Hook it up to your machine then take lessons on how to use it. All in the OpenAI ecosystem, of course.

Best outcome for OpenAI is that this becomes a status symbol / cool shiny thing that "leet" devs have.

For someone with a lot of experience already, this looks semi-retarded. For a newbie / newcomer it looks like someone finally thought of them.

I was interested in their knob1, and, if you go to their website today it still says pre-order with shipping in August 2025 (stuck in the past), at this point I accepted it's vaporware [1] [1] https://worklouder.cc/knob1

I'm guessing they didn't run "knob" past anyone from the UK. Edit: as much as it pains me, this is hacker news, so, knob means cock in the UK.

It also, and I would say more commonly, means a round thing that can be turned. I've never heard of anyone avoiding the term.

My first question is this — what does this do that a $50 Streamdeck cannot?

Donate 200 bucks to a struggling startup.

yeah, they are barely hanging on. they only raised $144 billion over 14 rounds. who knows if they will ever get any more. we should all chip in for a t-shirt.

:P

This is not really intended as a product you will use today.

This is an intentionally provocative statement on the future of work, where your keyboard is not supplemented by, but rather replaced by a dozen or so buttons for prompting (via voice), reviewing, approving or rejecting.

Codex Micro is a workstation controller for the knowledge worker in sama's 2030 fever dream. I'm not even entirely sure I disagree.

Yeah because open offices really need people talking to their computers next to the meetings they always have.
