> I'll be using this for everything that isn't coding from now on.

why? is it not so good on that? or is there something better performance, or better price for same performance?

Found this yesterday as a replacement for wisprflow and it seems to work great. Yet no previous entry on HN and nobody i know seems to have heard of it before. What am i missing, why this is not more popular?
is it really a `threat` (ie potential damage)?

id say it is harmful. like a cancerous tumor that now went into hypergrowth

first thought on reading the headline was: huh these apple guys have interesting hobbies

for sure, but like the other respondent said, he was talking his own book

and also, arguably jensen`s track record is such that i wouldnt exactly lump him with the mainstreamers )))

tired of all the dumb `i always knew it` takes on the internet

in 2022, mainstream and westoid virtualism opinion was ``china is cut off from the future now`` (cue the clownface here). ``we cut off chinas legs`` yadayada

there were very few informed people who differed.

now after the fact every dumb little shmuck ``always knew`` ``it was obvious``

really? then show the record where you predicted it. in 2022.

not now, pretending to be wise and informed :)))

it`s the same like in palestine. in 2023, 24 so many people pretended to look away or not see. now everybody has always been against it all of a sudden.

fucking bozos.

what that means?

maybe check out ``western`` birth rates without immigration before spouting next time

people are going to be so surprised how fast the ai energy leaves the room again once the cash transfers are completed (the `ipos` whatever bla)

the coffee will be as cold, flat and stale as the bitcoin, metaverse, and what was the thing before that thing

agi deus ex machina descending from the icloud ftw!!!

Re:Don't Paste the AI, please on Thursday August 20, 2026 @05:56AM (#49372497)
personally i like editing much more than writing (the scare of the white page or how it was called…)

and i detest ai slop

so my solution is to speak combined with an ai cleanup like macwhisper or wispr flow of all the uhs and ahs and repetitions or rephrasings etc

you can even use ai to pretend a conversation or interview style

then i have stuff to edit

boom

BetterTouchTool is on my list of things to look into for a long time.

Was not aware it is even possible to replace the shitty logitech surveillance software. thanks for the tip!

Can you give maybe an example of a `funky stuff` for the mouse, like those touchpad gestures? i cant think of any, just to get an idea

file it (eg in obsidian). tag it. next time you are interested in topic x, there are all the stuff you at least once thought might be relevant to it.

having learnt about wesftoid demokwafee over the last years, post oct 7, i know what is the rational bet. it´s completely clear.

thats roughly the equivalent of a marathon (or a bit under) a day for a human
