Quite disappointing their speech to text models are not open source. Whisper was really good and it was great it was open to play around with. I guess this continues OpenAI's approach of not really being open!

I am glad people are talking about this. I have been feeling like this for the past couple of weeks. It's a difficult thing as I really enjoy coding but it feels like that part of the job will be changing in the future. I think it&#x27

I wonder if they could reduce the power to the Bluetooth chipset to artificially reduce the range? Might be possible with iOS devices as it's pretty easy to test each of them. Harder to do with the 1000s of Android devices that exist.
