You all think it's normal to sit behind a laptop all day

1•shoman3003•1h ago
The moment i saw the first llm, i knew the future of tech is keyboardless, actually i was trying to get there before gpt but failed. The fact that its 2026 and most of the industry doesn't see this is baffling to me. When both hardware and software giants are innovating in the same direction (neuralink, apple vision, voice models...etc),

You all think using a keyboard and a mouse all day is normal for primates - but it's completely unnatural! it's killing us slowly, both physically & socially. Like it or not, evolution has a voice here & the spine is not made for this UI. Not to mention a device that isn't very mobile ends up isolating people no matter how much they tried, if you don't believe me through away your laptop for a month & see how much your patterns will change.

We weren't made for this interface, no matter how much we much we got adjusted to it. Imagine if a species of birds had to stop flying for 100 years because of endless storms in a certain region! that 100 year is not enough for evolution to remove the wings & strengthen legs; those birds have to eventually figure out a way to be able to fly again. Lucky for us we are smarter than birds, and we have already built something that might solve it (voice models).

In 20 years; if we are still using a keyboard & a mouse on a daily basis - it would be as awful as not getting to superintelligence. To me, someone who is not using tools like Wisprflow is more or less the same stubborn as someone who refuse to vibe code our of principle.

I am not saying that the future of technology is %100 guaranteed to be voice-first, neuralink might be better idk. What I am %100 sure of is that we will not be using a keyboard & mouse as the input.

The 3 generations that spent their entire life behind a PC in the 20/21st century will be seen as crazy as the soldiers who spend all day underground to click a button inside a missile silo.

Give me a voice input method where no one else can hear me even when they are nearby.

i think it's a safe bet that in 10 years talking to Ai would be seen as normal, its already starting to be normalized. regarding privacy, at work it might be solvable, outside i am not sure.

This. It's amazing how many people fail to figure this out. There are plenty of environments (coffee shops, libraries, etc.) where bloviating out loud is considered a breach of basic etiquette.

Speech is not the same as writing. It is not interchangeable. It's not easy to compose writing aloud. Speech is a poor interface for manipulating words like that. Have you ever seen something like an ex tempore speech or panel discussion or radio interview transcribed in writing? It can be almost incomprehensible.

They are different processes. You do want to see the words laid out. And you want to point at them. Drag them around. Drag and drop.

our hunched backs and strained eyes are noble signs of the craft which go back thousands of years

the remains of Ancient Egyptian scribes show neck vetebrae wear and repetitive strain type injury to the wrist and thumb

craft is overrated. you clearly are a writer, which is noble, but most people aren't they just want to communicate as best as possible fast - the llm can just take their rambling and insert a summary.

20 years from now, I do not anticipate having any more control over a "superintelligence" than I have today, nor do I think that a superintelligence which could serve my needs (never mind my desires) as well as a computer-mouse-keyboard-internet setup currently does will come to exist.
