Now just wait until people address a single other person with youse, and then have to make up yous'all to address groups.
(Evolution of language is fascinating. I'm just pretending to be upset.)
Thou was second-person singular. Y’all is second-person plural.
Big fan of linguistics and philology myself too.
Edit: Also 'youse guys' is for groups I thought, but maybe you're keeping it to one word contractions, haha
1. Start and stop button. I love this explicit control over who is talking when.
2. Ability to upload files while the voice chat is going. Great idea. Often times I use gpt voice chat for studying, and it's annoying when I need to add another PDF to the context, since I need to stop the chat, upload, and then restart the voice session.
3. Real-time text display during voice chat. I asked you to take the derivative of a function I described, and it outlined its steps, but it wasn't just the transcription of what it was saying.
Things I hate:
1. The transcription is terrible. It took me 10 tries during the conversation to describe f(x) = x^2. Looking back on the transcriptions, it's literally nonsense.
2. There was a buggy moment when the voice conversation started but it was still demoing all the voice options simultaneously. Need some polishing.
From Abacus:
I try to strike a balance. If it seems like you might be gathering your thoughts, I usually wait a bit to give you space, but I'm also here to prompt or help if needed. If you ever feel like I'm jumping in too soon, just let me know!
Just like world-wide-web and www.
I know it’s a massive challenge and might take years to get right but the endless copy and paste is wearing me down.
Their MAX 20x is double the cost $~6/day for quadruple the quota.
Keep in mind that Opus chows quota at 5x+ the rate of sonnet.
But even then, I never let it git add or git commit, and about half the time it runs in “ask me before you do any edits” mode and re-guiding it in real time as I see things going sideways.
> According to the report, Anthropic was holding talks with Amazon, the company’s major investor and partner, and voice-focused AI startup ElevenLabs, to possibly drive future voice features for Claude.
> It’s unclear which of those partnerships, if any, came to fruition.
Here's an easy way to confirm that: check Anthropic's "Trust Center" and review any recent updates. https://trust.anthropic.com/updates
Sure enough, on May 29th they have a subprocessor change:
> As of May 29th, 2025, we have added ElevenLabs, which supports text to speech functionality in Claude for Work mobile apps.
I wonder what they're using for speech-to-text?

They’re dead to me until they fix their over-aggressive auto-ban. Having done nothing more than traveling frequently, rarely using VPN and only using it for coding, I was caught up in a random inexplicable auto-ban. Zero customer service. Appeal process that leads to a black hole. Whatever their technical advances, their user experience when something goes awry is terrible.
