>Anything with voice controls for routine use is a pretty tough sell. Doing this when you're not completely alone would be annoying to everyone around you.
Reads like the argument against cell phones where don't have a cabinet around you...
I'm sure someone has already written this kind of thought somewhere, but I still find it worth sharing here.
TLDR:
- Treat AI like a Colleague, not a Tool: When AI hits a limit, you are responsible for fixing the problem and finding the solution.
- The Jevons Paradox: AI increases efficiency, which often leads to more features rather than faster project completion.
- You Are Now a Manager: Using AI forces you to manage virtual resources, make prioritization decisions, and own the final outcomes.
- Strategic Restraint: Don't just do more because you can. Be mindful that AI consumes your attention; focus on quality over quantity.
1. Use multiple speakers in different locations.
Single speakers tend to be turned louder, people then talk louder...
2. Breaks for toasts / games.
If everyone has to listen, the talking noise level resets a bit.
3. No Alcohol.
Yeah, this is a game changer.
Some people even won't come if they know there is no alcohol and some will go early.
The other ones have a better sense for noise.
