At this point these companies are going to release merch to fund themselves

They need to sell like 300+ per single Nvidia B100 GPU lol I'm not sure they'll quite fund themselves with this

The intersection of software developers and people who like audio interfaces for controlling computers has to be pretty small!

I don't want to hear my voice all day, nor my coworkers.

You know who does? Designers, product managers, and investors.

I can't decide if this is a misplaced product not understanding the mostly introvert tech audience or a stroke of brilliance predicting a future where non-tech people will be developing products all by themselves.

Finally we see what Jony Ive was cooking at Open AI. The long foretold iPhone killer has finally arrived. And with the 100% perfect speech to text model that Open AI with zero flaws that works with all accents on all devices, this will finally remove the clunky keyboard.

This one in collaboration with Work Louder[1] a company that specialized on mechanical keyboard. I don't see Jony Ive in this. Or maybe your comment is sarcasm, I can't tell. 1. https://worklouder.cc/

Aah our lord and saviour Jony has not yet delivered the iPhone killer.

The cloud logo that is inscribed onto the base of this device and on its bottom-right key is no longer used by OpenAI. In fact, the "Codex" app, branding, and featureset was folded entirely into the ChatGPT app earlier this week. Upon release, this device is already outdated. What an interesting world we live in!

Icon can be switched between ChatGPT and Codex at least on macOS in app settings

If you’re puzzled as to why this exists, imagine that, out of the goodness of your heart, you donate $230 to OpenAI to support their mission of rear ending the singularity, and receive Codex Micro memorabilia as a token of appreciation.

i actually cant stop laughing... this is priceless

The non-branded version from Work Louder seems to cost $174 https://worklouder.cc/creator-micro-2

So I'd say it's probably only a $56 contribution.

It's not clear why this physical object is a better solution to the problem than, say, a window on your screen. Feels like more of a hobby project than something that provides $230 of value.

There are dozens of us who went through the ordeal to use MIDI controllers for stuff because you just want to touch a button and not alt-tab 4 times. cf. https://f5n.org/blog/2026/hardware-mute-button/ (part 2 is not published yet where I replace the Korg software with my own app using a Rust midi driver)

But yes, mine was 55 EUR, is universally usable, and it was a fun project. There is a reason I didn't buy a stream deck and there's also a reason I did not buy a 3d printer, design a PCB and do it from scratch.

The phrase made me chuckle, but I'm curious what exactly "rear ending the singularity" means.

I think here it means accelerating towards singularity. Rear ending means accelerating your car so much that it bumps into the rear end of the car before you.
