Except they've already been caught doing exactly this...and at the highest levels. I believe one of the law firms representing Trump (or maybe opposing him...I can't recall) got caught when it turned out the judge realized some of the cases being quoted were made up.
AI can't fix stupid
Take a look at US Mobile. That is where I'm Moving to from T-Mobile already. T-Mobile has FUCKED its customers and all former Sprint customers repeatedly.
Unfortunately no overseas free text ad data. That tie sme to Tmob fo rnow.
If the alternatives weren't worse in terms of costs and features I used, I'd have dumped them years ago.
Mint Mobile. Same phone, same cell towers, no contract, way cheaper. Probably cheaper even than your grandfathered plan.
Except it doesn't offer the international data and texting, something I use.
One of the advantages for actual stores is that the reps can attempt to up-sell a customer with a higher cost phone, or a higher cost plan, or additional services ("Would you like fries with that burger?"). Will the app be able to convince the customer they need to send T-Mobile more money?
Ten million nag screens. An app doesn't care if you close a popup over and over.
T-Mobile is on one hell of a downward spiral. It's actually impressive.
Exactly. If the alternatives weren't worse in terms of costs and features I used, I'd have dumped them years ago. I had been on an ultra cheap grandfathered plan so no other carrier comes close, even with their price increase.
If you're measuring token use, you're encouraging token use to game the stats.
Reminds of the Dilbert cartoon where the PHB announces they will reward staff for each bug they find and Wally announces "I'm off to write a mini-van..."
At least for me and many others I spoke to.
Go and use books to train AI.
Just don't fucking destroy them afterwards! Many of these are out of print, impossible to replace! How much of a douchebag do you have to be to destroy them ?
You are so wrong. The country I live in now has it. It's not called the same, but it amounts to the same. Near impossible to sue the police here.
I'm pretty sure most countries have something similar on the books.
I understand your sentiment, but that'd a lot like claiming UNIX has X percent because the Mac is a certified UNIX system. ChromeOS is pretty far from Linux in terms of how it is presented to the user and most of the users have no idea it's Linux:Inside.
Respectfully disagree. The only way to get to the average user (and therefore, to mass adoption) is to present a functional, consistent UI. Once that is achieved, then and only then will the user appreciate the stability, privacy, and flexibility that the underlying Linux OS provides. Given the diversity of distributions and Linux-based products, for communication purposes I would root for something similar to the "Intel inside" logo. The average user didn't need to know anything about processor design and manufacturing, but the logo was, for some time, a very effective marketing strategy.
What about "Linux inside" or something similar to define this category? It would also work for a smart marketing campaign...
Good points. The challenge is, given Linux' fragmented nature, presenting
a functional, consistent UI
Companies selling boxes don't want to have to mess with OS UI design, they want one that user' can use out of the box and runs the programs their customers want on their boxen. Linux' strength is a san open source software people are free to adapt it to their needs, but that is also a weakness when it comes to marketing because it fragments the market and their isn't a consistent desktop GUI or interface standards. A lot of the stuff just isn't polished, even though it works fine, which is a challenge when it comes to mass marketting. People want shiney.
This isn't going to stop at call centres. If not today, then very soon, there will be nothing an experienced legal secretary and AI can't do that a junior lawyer can do...at a fraction of the cost. All that's needed (at least for now) is a mid-level lawyer to scan their output and sign off on it. If I were a couple of years away from a bar exam, I'd be wondering about my career choice.
Ecxept lawyers have been pretty good at ensuring only lawyers can practice law and give legal advice; and while they will no doubt adopt AI to automate tasks low level staff do now, I doubt AI will be a big threat to them like it will for other occupations; rather it will be a tool to be more efficient whithout billing less.
We're going to need a law that customers have the right to talk to a person because the AI isn't going to be reliable.
Most human call centers I have had to contact aren't much better, just some person making a tiny wage reading from a script. Not there fault, it's just companies want the lowest price so that's what they get.
but that's going to have to run on a motor spinning 25fps in the other direction. It could work if frictionless was possible though. I wonder if gyroscopes, low friction and a counter prop like a helicopter would make that feasible.
Yea, or maybe some sort of induction motor to create a counter rotation?
I'm fairly sure at least one entire department at MS is tasked with making sure people don't switch to other formats, that despite on-paper "open" XML it remains incompatible and no competitor software can flawlessly read and write it.
So no, unless you can hire a dozen people full-time to counter that, you don't have a chance to break through that.
Qualified immunity is a reasonable concept that I agree is needed for police work.
It's just being completely overdone, used to cover up clear abuse. The basic idea of "when in doubt, police still needs to be able to act" is sound. The actual practice "unless you can prove to criminal standards and beyond, that the police officer knew at that exact moment, that what they were doing was totally definitely illegal and they intentionally decided to break a law. That's quite a bit too much of "err on the side of caution".
What a complete and utter surprise... to the three people who are so high their brain stopped working but miraculously didn't kill them.
For everyone else, this was literally the first thing we thought about, right? Please tell me I'm not the last sane person on planet Earth. Nobody expected that this would NOT be abused in such ways, right?
