This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Pretty cool, actually. Opens up a lot of possibilities for non-human appointment making, etc.
Not sure why people here are shitting on this. This technology isn't going anywhere because it saves companies money. Might as well develop a system that interfaces with it directly to save everyone tons of time.
I assume people are shitting on it because it's fake? At least it looks fake to me as the sounds they're making seem the same each time.
I imagine it would sound a lot more like a dialup modem if it were real as we got pretty good at sending data over audio channels back then. Likely that standard that already exists could be used.

lmao no it's not... They literally post the link to the Github: https://github.com/PennyroyalTea/gibberlink
You can even test their data-to-sound module (ggwave) here: https://waver.ggerganov.com/

In a lot of respects Lemmy is worse than Reddit. Jesus. The technology is designed for it to be imperceptible to humans (as such, you can even use high frequency sound that can barely be heard), because it's not meant for us to hear or understand... So it's not weird that it sounds the same to you. But it's not.
I stand corrected. It seems odd to me that you would relegate all data transfer to the inaudible range, as you'll have a lot less bandwidth to work with and will likely hit issues with compression technologies that are designed to filter those frequencies out.
I guess the designers didn't want it to sound so offputting like dial-up did. Still seems odd to me and I'm not surprised it failed my initial sniff test.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh. It Disgusted me...
I was waiting for the full on modem screams
Just what nobody wanted.
