Prepare for the future office full with whispers.
If we talk to our computers more and more, how will our work environments change? The growing popularity of dictation apps like Wispr, particularly now that they can be linked to vibe-coding tools, is examined in a recent Wall Street Journal article, along with the potential implications for office etiquette. Visiting startup offices now seems like entering a posh phone center, according to one venture capitalist. Additionally, it appears that Edward Kim, a co-founder of Gusto, is informing his staff that offices would sound "more like a sales floor" in the future. (Let me say this as someone who is still scarred from the moment his desk was temporarily moved to a sales floor: Oh no.) According to Kim, he now only types when it is absolutely necessary. However, he acknowledged that dictating all the time at work can be "just a little weird." In a similar vein, Mollie Amkraut Mueller, an AI entrepreneur, claimed that her husband became irritated with her new practice of talking to her computer. As a result, they now sit separate during late-night work sessions, or "one of us will stay in our office."
