Luddites and neoludites and similar Amish type will expand their foothold into different cultures. I personally am going to be adjusting my usage as it is impacting my life and negative ways. I've already added timers and limits and will soon be going to grayscale only.

What I do hope for which does not yet exist is the ability to use voice GPT at selective moments with a finger tap of an ear bud.

I have noticed a growing divide between those who have phones in their hands and those who have phones by proximity. I have some friends who take a day or two to text me back because I simply don't use their phone.

I'm curious - why would an earbud-activated LLM be preferable to just the normal interface with typing in the request? And why GPT specifically?

I can see the point with technologies that integrate directly into the surrounding environment, like using Google Lens to look up information about a real object, or translate printed text, and so on. But the LLM will still be a text generator either way - is it just about being able to dictate a request out loud and have the reply be read back?

[pizzafeelsright]

Generic term GPT for LLM I suppose.

As for the type of interface, having a screen requires eyeball attention that I rather have on the task at hand. This would remove the "device in hand" that a commpad/smartphone/tablet requires.

Me @ Kitchen: tap earbud & speak "read my favorite apple pie recipe list of ingredients" as I inventory the pantry.

$700 + $24/month subscription? Wow, that functionality better be really good.

Somewhat related but I consider it a poor design on many levels.

The show UPLOAD does a fairly okay job demonstrating how this might work

Can you explain what you mean by "going greyscale only"?

[miffel]

It's setting your phone/screen to stop displaying color, instead just showing everything in greyscale. I believe that on Android you can currently set something like a bedtime for your phone that will stop displaying colors at a certain time, and if you have any time limits for apps then during the last minute before you run out of time it will turn grey too.

Interesting! I'll have to give this a try and see what effect it has on my social media usage. My new years resolution is to use it only 30 minutes a day at max
