It won’t tell you a penis joke. Or any joke

can anyone think of a real application for this that isn't just adding redundant analog hardware into something that already exists- i.e. chatbots?

the only real use to a mechanically moving keyboard that registers it's own typing as that of a human user would be to teach bots how to better pass captcha checks or similar, so i'm not sure there is any real reason for a legitimate company to be making this.

it reminds me of when people in silicon valley recently "invent" things such as a tunnel or vending machine, but are utterly convinced that it is innovative in some way when usually the only appeal of the technology is to exclude others that can't afford it. in this case, chatbots are available for free to any person with internet access, and a most of us have digital assistants on our phone or computer that have very similar features.

in my opinion, this is a very pointless toy for someone with way too much money. i can understand the value of tinkering for fun, but this just seems needlessly wasteful in material costs when anyone can access an identical module on their pre existing devices going back 20+ years.

Loved the concept in that show.

Has anyone figured out how to get an account without having to give it a "real" phone number?

I tried to trick it by giving it a fake voip number I found on the internet, but it didn't work. Landline wont work since it has to be able to receive a text.

Anyone smarter than me have any ideas?

I'm not willing to let them sell my phone number to the highest bidder just so I can ask it to tell me a penis joke.

Typewriters never have anything interesting to say

This reminds me of what the unabomber warned about in his manifesto….

That reminds me of how my dad, who’s wasn’t very old at the time (early 40’s) first saw my sister use FaceTime and it nearly blew his mind. He’d used Skype and stuff before but he said the fact my sister had it in good quality on her iPod reminded him so much of the Star Trek stuff when he was a kid, and his amazement was palpable enough it made an impression on me I remember it 10 years later

So… is this grandson of Anton?

Transpose this back to the 90’s and you’re on Art Bell. Ghost in the machine.

Reminds me of the typewriter in Fringe

It 100% can output sheet music in xml format.

I also asked it to write an ABC adventure story featuring my two toddlers, it did very well - now need to get the images done and printed from midjourney

I asked chat gpt how to turn sound output on and they said they don't not have the capability to produce sounds... this is the solve!

Reminds me of a show I watched as a kid. Read All about It

It's funny how in the 70s I was sure a chatting typewriter was just around the corner. Then most of my adult life it seemed centuries away. And now here we are.

I am waiting for the next gen.

IMO the deck has shitty battery life but everything else seems pretty good.

Love mine.

i feel you...

True, office workers use pc and windows, but know jack shit bout it

They're still great cameras too. I finally sold mine earlier this year and it was still working great and taking killer shots after 9-10 years.

I mean SEA, China and the Indian-sub continent combined are ~ 4 billion people; most countries have incredible economic growth, we are talking GDP per capita doubling every 5 years, huge middle classes.

Heck Mercs, BMWs, Audis, Jaguars and Porsches sell like hot cakes in my city in south India, am sure the market is worth it for any kind of tech hardware.

I think most western companies don't realize the potential of these markets, like we don't even get SEA servers for most online games still.

I don't have my deck with me but doesn't the Steamdeck preset enable FSR? I found FSR turns game into mush at that resolution, especially Cyberpunk with its UI rendered in-world so I only play at native res.
