  • The fact that so many people never paid attention before is just fucking bizarre to me. He is not successful in ideas or accolades at all. He was born a rich kid, lied cheated and stole his way through his 20’s using his crazy father’s advice, and now he’s wealthy. The paramount point is that he never did real work to get where he is now. People not realizing that is either a result of an amazing PR team, or just willful ignorance on their behalf. Same Trump and the rest of these bedfellows. Scammers, liars, and thieves with no actual talent.










  • Nope. Definitely got a reason, and it’s stated. There have been countless reworks of keyboards, for example, that promise lots of benefits, but it’s a problem that doesn’t need solving for most people. What’s a 30% increase in typing speed with a 200% learning curve going to do for most people? Not much. I’ve seen hundreds come and go throughout the years in engineering teams, and people always go back to the thing they learned on.

    That being said, as someone else pointed out in this thread, this is essentially just a remix of stenography. They’re trying to make it seem more useful than it is, which whatever, it’s their product. The thing that is most problematic about this particular product is the cognitive dissonance of staring at someone like this guy making weird faces and not speaking, where you’re actually listening to his phone.

    Now, is this a solution for mute people? Quite possibly. Is it better than natural language conversational translation by a device in normal conversation? Not a chance.
