Laptop speakers work with being small by adding a large sound cavity around it, which allows for the sound to be amplified.
You can't jam that into a combadge size while also keeping space for battery and electronics.

Our tech is simply not there to put proper speakers and microphones AND a well sized battery in something so small.
Especially speakers. Volume is determined by the amount of air the diaphragm can move - and there's an exponential relationship between the size of the diaphragm and the volume of air it moves. Large diaphragm: even small movements (low amplification) can be loud because of how much air you move. Small diaphragm: even at high amplification, the volume will be low.
Smartphone speakers work this around by having an actually large speaker with appropriate sized cavity tucked away. Like, look at an iPhone teardown and see just how big the speakers are for the mediocre volume they can output. A combadge is what, 1/5 the size of the largest iPhone, in volume? And you still need to put electronics AND a battery in there.
It could work as a microphone, but not as a speaker.
Why, the pretense of hope of course!
Then livestream their evil little faces as they realise they're about to run out of oxygen and there's nothing they can do about it 😈
Piper does chunking for TTS, and could utilise the NPU with the right drivers.
And the idea of running them on the NPU is not about memory usage but hardware capacity/parallelism. Although I guess it would have some benefits when I don't have to constantly load/unload GPU models.
Don't forget having multiple underage girls come forward (semi-)publicly about him raping them...
Yes, they're fine with it - because they don't consider disabled people, women, black people (or any other PoC), non-Christians, well, the list goes on, as "people".
And making fun of non-people is perfectly okay.
Pro doms do exist. Technically, it would be at their job...
Nah, just aim them for the sun and hope for the best.
They'll be dead due to lack of oxygen within a few days anyways, does it matter if their stinky corpses get burned up in the sun or not?
Aye, I was actually hoping to use the NPU for TTS/STT while keeping the LLM systems GPU bound.
Has Hannity been watching Hazbin Hotel and getting weird feelings in his tightie whities?
Well, it is... they just kinda die during the process.
Luckily that's the only frontal nudity bit
