idk maybe I'm critical about it not being too hard but we absolutely have the modern technology for this, no question about it. I want more people/companies care. this is even ignoring the accessibility outputs of this, which is where most of the funding and research has been focused

especially with bone conduction on the meta glasses (or equivalent I really don't want actual meta hardware), I think I could fully be functional without making noise or any real movements in nothing but the space it takes to sit and exist

plus the sEMG band and subvocal recognition hardware on a plane and you could be fully doing work on multiple tuis with very little actual movement and no sound

could actually be super usable to have closed lips "recognition". stuff like the alter ego use EEG plus probably some camera recognition to "read the thoughts". but even simpler could easily be internal mouth "words". that cannot be that difficult. I have a mental image of the meta headset

kind of obsessed with the idea of an sEMG based subvocal recognition engine. some papers have gotten to like 70% accurate with 6 sensors. modern frontier models can handle a whole lot worse than that in terms of accuracy. I think a thin 3d printed headset with conical surface sensors

it just depends how locked down they are. the hardware is probably sick but idk if I can comfortably use meta hardware on any consistent basis :(

"Invisible BIDI Fiber", there's some kits out there that'll let you run a single strand of essentially invisible fiber through the house. It's... quite invisible if you place it right. Depends on how far you're going I guess but it's maaaaaybe an option.

msftconnecttest.com was always my go to in corp environments where the firewalls were overly restrictive. Harder to remember but quite a bit more reliable.

Orca is excellent. Literally checks every box. I've been mainlining it for a couple weeks I cannot speak highly enough.

codex on the steam deck via ssh makes things so much nicer to deal with. did a whole pile of Skyrim mods the same way. I love the sd keyboard but it is not good for actual "doing things"

I use a blue yeti and it's ok. Generally people don't notice a difference. someone else said a Shure and the sm7b has been on my list for a while but needs so much extra hardware it's like, sigh

oh wow I didn't know this was something you had, this is very cool!

Going back to the OP, since you asked about "what about the other way around", 1. Internal planning/communication that leads to chosen external actions. 2. Humans indeed do this. 3. AI too indeed does this.
000
Aes @itisamystery.com · 16/09/2026
That's not a very good way to have a discussion.
020
Aes @itisamystery.com · 16/09/2026
And maybe it's not exactly words but it's concepts and thoughts and planning that lead to a conclusion of "I get up and make a PBJ". The external actions were caused by internal thoughts. AI does the same thing, you can just see it happen in text and words every time.
110
Aes @itisamystery.com · 16/09/2026
The way I think is with some grade of words or pictures in my head to solve the daily problems in life. "I have to go eat I want some peanut butter and jelly but I want to finish what I'm working on. I'll finish this step and then get up to make my PBJ and eat while I browse the internet".

Aes @itisamystery.com · 16/09/2026
So when an AI has its internal "thinking" and it processes out the details of a problem internally before saying something out loud or exposing itself externally, that's thinking.
110
Aes @itisamystery.com · 16/09/2026
Probably shouldn't engage, but from the other side, "thinking" is an internal voice that brings one through a process of mental pathways. Voice doesn't mean words, but it does indicate an internal process that brings you to some grade of answer or conclusion to a problem.

good analogy. just nods or pointing to papers you've left up to help communicate.

that's what stopped me from other options, the arbitrary random "oh this wont work right because x". pangolin being mine meant the restrictions or limitations were what I wanted and set.

Aes @itisamystery.com · 15/09/2026
I swapped to Pangolin for a bunch of my stuff and it's been surprisingly nice. Same "tunnel" concept but not cloudflare at least.

long term easier modification of levels. instead of arbitrary "xhigh" just a level from 0->n. let it work with whatever the underlying system handles. the api shouldn't define the arbitrary levels like this. a user interface could easily just translate that out, why make the api so static like that

I didn't think about it and now I'm annoyed that isn't how it was built to begin with. why is it a string???

Aes @itisamystery.com · 10/09/2026
I've had some artisans that have come with me between sets. sometimes that little accent piece actually adds to cohesion. also consider other keycap materials. keycaps are totally modular. slick and cohesive can _also_ be pretty :3 ALSO a nice keycap set can move to a new keyboard!

for the esc key? omg the esc slot is the prime slot for a fun artisan. etsy or r/mechmarket, there's so many fun options

tbh fair. I spent too long on tmux to give zellij a real chance. herdr is super nice. esp some of the plugins are really clean.

Aes @itisamystery.com · 09/09/2026
tmux best multiplexer I wish it had the same "local instance connects to remote server" like herdr though :(

and then it does sick orchestration internally with dedicated harness processes it feeds text into

try orca onorca.dev it's a little hype-y but it's been my favorite tool for the week I've been playing with it. desktop has the main session, laptop connects to desktop, and phone connects to desktop, so the same sessions/worktrees are accessible to every system

Was having a convo at work about how Astra is much easier to work with for what we do than Opus 5 and someone was like “we’re doing toxic workplace gossip about coworkers but they’re robots, you realize that right”

I told Astra to use the last 6% of my usage before the reset and came out with exception.vlan.foo Big fan of Astra's web design language, and the field guide link at the bottom is an internal blog post. Fun model, for sure. I don't think this does anything relevant but it's interesting.

i also think there's a lot of people who thought it was fun, interacted with it, enjoyed seeing posts about it, but didn't really participate in the wider discourse. loud voices do loud things after all.
