[after playing out all possible outcomes for Global Thermonuclear War]
Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
After 3 or 4 months of continuously applying for jobs I'm ready for an AI (or just a relatively simple browser plugin) to start filling out the forms for me.
I am a Patreon supporter of Jim Browning. Incidentally, I got this email today:
At last, I can reveal something I've been working on in conjunction with a major UK cellphone operator, O2.
Meet dAIsy. Daisy is an AI bot who answers scam phone calls. Thanks to the mobile operator who can fingerprint scam phone calls via the calling pattern, source, sequence of calls and other markers, scam calls are being diverted to an AI bot who has been trained to keep the scammers on the phone as long as possible.
This is my recording of a Zoom interview I had today with Channel 5 news in the UK where you can see dAIsy in action.
I will continue to train dAIsy with real scam phone calls. When we perfect her, the aim is to work with other cell and landline operators to divert scam calls to thousands of instances of dAIsy. [...]
So you're not wrong about this being a project of some anti-scam YouTuber, you just guessed the wrong one. ^^
I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.
To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I'd rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I've been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job
After replacing writers and artists it is now replacing the entire category of, "old people". AI has reached the, "final solution" faster than I thought possible!
