This is an individual solution to a systemic problem. On a personal level, it is possible to solve such problems, but generally no, the ship has sailed quite some time ago (I personally think cars are to blame). Even if you do it, you are still swimming against the current.

>This is an individual solution to a systemic problem. On a personal level, it is possible to solve such problems I.e. it's only a problem if you're not willing to go and strike up conversations with people. Which is not AI or mobile phones' fault. Expecting society to come up with "systemic situations" to your personal problems is a fast path to a lifetime of disappointment.

> it's only a problem if you're not willing to go and strike up conversations with people.

It is not a problem if there are other people willing to also go and strike up conversations with people. That is why GP wrote that it is a systemic problem that can be solved on a personal level.

> Expecting society to come up with "systemic situations" to your personal problems is a fast path to a lifetime of disappointment.

It is not a personal problem. It is a systemic problem. Are you conflating on purpose or do you not understand the difference?

And it is a systemic problem, all you need to do is look at the data.

Yes, every minute you spend texting or talking to a chatbot is a minute that you'd have spent talking to another human beings. Literally the only important thing in life, the basis of all value, the formation of self-identity, comes from communication with other human beings.

Such radical carbon chauvinism is ontologically evil. May those who hold this view reincarnate as durian fruits or cockroaches.

don't you dare clump the best fruit in the world with cockroaches!

I'm so mad that this might make me re-subscribe to ChatGPT. I wouldn't have believed how much I use the voice feature before LLMs and ChatGPT currently has the best voice interface. I think Grok's interface is the next best, then Claude.

Just wait a few months and this will likely be available on a different LLM platform, especially if it actually works.

(Atty from OpenAI here) GPT-Live-1 is the first version of a new generation of models, and we believe the full-duplex architecture + delegation enables entirely new ways of human-AI interaction. Would love to hear your feedback!

Hey! Nice work, been looking into having a conversational modal integrated with my dev workflow.

Are we seeing any conversational layer integrated with codex soon?

I had preview access to this one for a few weeks. It's very good. I had one conversation that lasted a full hour while I was walking the dog, got some good brainstorming done against one of my projects. The best feature is that it can delegate questions out to GPT-5.5 in the background, so you're no longer restricted to a voice model that's several years behind the frontier. I did report a fun bug with it though: it…

How did you give it access to your projects? That’s something I never thought does work as the voice model has no access outside of its scope?

I thought to try voice cloning with dots.tts ( https://huggingface.co/spaces/rednote-hilab/dots.tts ), the result is pretty good, but likely wouldn't be fast enough to use on a quasi-realtime basis: Input clip: https://vocaroo.com/19QtEPtwTjOS Prompt text: There are 14 varieties of tomato soup available from this replicator. With rice, with vegetables, Bolian style, with pasta specify hot or chilled. Output: https://…

I think the request here is not about sounding like Majel Barrett but in keeping the output extremely terse and unobtrusive. There's been a few studys showing that novices love LLM output that's long, but experts hate it. As an example, I've been tasked with using some agentic PM tool to write specs, and it keeps generating these huge page long outputs with "HBR voice" bolded summaries of paragraph long bulletpoints.…

When the voice models start rambling, I think of C-3PO. When Uncle Owen told 3PO to shut up and 3PO said, "Shutting up, sir."

Or even some scenes where Data did something similar.

It's funny to now experience it.

I professionally use it to design pharmaceutical drugs, essentially I do my best to harness the good sides of it

Not saying you aren't good at your job but this statement gives me pause. Given what I see on the daily as output from models I hope there's still a lot of human interrupt behind the wheel with respect to the design of drugs.

Every drug indeed has a huge burden of proof before it is distributed to humans, including the 3 levels of FDA clinical drug trials that cost billions of dollars, as well as all the internal testing we do beforehand.

The ad with the grandmas is cute and funny, but from the first 20 seconds you can see that the voice annoyingly interrupts people while they are talking. It's almost as if it tries to reply too fast - faster than a real person would, and the results is that it replies while you're still talking.

Oh and there was also a small fail in the live translate demo: the grandma says "tell him that..." which the bot translates verbatim, whereas a real translator would of course understand that this is an aside not to be translated.

Well I guess at least I should be happy that they're transparent in their ads :)

> ...no one would say this about listening to a podcast or audiobook on a walk. I highly recommend simply enjoying the walk. :)

People can enjoy different things, people can be neurodiverse, different strokes for different things, etc.

True, and they can recommend things too, we're all in agreement
