That’s fascinating! Really cool explanation, thank you.
It sounds like Dragon has gotten a couple shoutouts. haven’t heard of them before. I wouldn’t mind starting with some plain offline TTS program. I suppose Samsung already has that feature built-into the phone, but that leads us back to the privacy concerns.
Makes sense. I think my main concern is how can I be certain it doesn’t listen to stuff when I dont let it.
Ever have that weird phenomenon when you’re discussing something and somehow what you were talking about is the first suggested search result?
it is not for work.
Well that’s why I said I will be asking my doctor what she uses! And I likely wont be transcribing anything professional, but I do still have my phone on me in those settings. It’s more about the fact that I don’t want my own personal notes to be automatically handed to an LLM and regurgitated out into the world without my knowledge. If it can recognize and transcribe my speech, what’s to stop it from using that to train an LLM, which in turn notoriously plagiarizes its training data?
it just takes familiarity. In grad school we had a checklist on what to look for when reading. turned it from a slog to a scavenger hunt.
I can’t remember the exact list but it was something like: what’s the title, what’s the purpose, what’s the question, what’s the prior research, what’s the methodology, what’s the data, what’s the conclusion, and then finally what’s the abstract. or something, idk, I’ll try to find it but I don’t know you jefe
Echo chambers aren’t as prevalent or as problematic as you think. The biggest echo chamber is actually most likely your own neighborhood. The internet, even small communities, is where you’re most likely exposed to diverse viewpoints. Shit, just yesterday I saw someone saying they were hurt by how we talked about Slavs. Where the heck am I gonna see that in Maryland?
What’s the dotcom bubble?
the straight content is lacking too. the nsfw on lemmy is an absolute waste of time. it’s awful. we need actual sex workers and exhibitionists to show up, because whatever bullshit the 3-4 horny repost dudes are into is NOT my thing. all I see posted is stupid hentai, fully clothed white celebs, and tame softcore still images of solo women, again mostly white. there’s barely any gifs, barely any couples, barely any OC
Cool! Don’t care! Fuck Tildes. And I’m a longtime RIF user and Tildes alpha user. (And it’s still in alpha, years later…) It’s a weird ass place over there. Not too keen on their “private club” theme centered around the “God of Tildes” either.

thank you!
That sounds interesting. I was hoping for something that I could use on a mobile app. I’m not sure what “adapting the model size” means so this might be more complicated than I’m looking for.
