  • Playing back a message when you hear someone pick up? No, they've been doing that forever. But trying to determine whether you have a human on the line or just their voicemail recording? That's something that could start to require more sophisticated language models, and the fact that the message didn't just start rattling something off as soon as something picked up suggests maybe they're using it. Actual phone scams using AI? Well, if they're not doing it yet, they will be soon.

  • Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I'd say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.

  • It's AI, I'd be willing to bet. Waiting to detect a human before responding with whatever scam they're selling.

  • See, for me, if you call me and don't leave a voicemail, I'm going to assume it was unimportant (or spam) and I won't call back. Businesses, which are most likely going to an unknown number, should leave a voicemail if they want any action on my part. I mostly don't want businesses texting me because they tend to spam the fuck out of you. And I'm sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown number.

  • Really need regulatory action on this. People have no idea.

  • Hypocrisy has never stopped him before and the immunity he's been granted is very broad.

  • And now he's pissing off someone who has shown full willingness to weaponize the Justice department.

    But I also brought up civil court for a reason. Trump doesn't really have direct leverage there and the discovery process could be very interesting in a case like that. A victim involved in the Epstein case may very well have standing to bring a civil suit if Musk is making information that's harmful to them public.

  • Right? Accessing non-public information related to legal proceedings could very well be breaking the law. This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

  • One wonders if musk actually has any special information about this, and if so, how he got said information.

  • As a regular Costco shopper, no a pack like that wouldn't be anywhere near that much, and no that many won't last nearly as long as you think. Perhaps this isn't USD though.

  • I don't think Costco ever jacked up the prices like that, it was just unavailable for a long time.

  • I think I'm on the side of "if you do this in your code, you deserve what you get."

  • Permanently Deleted

  • First one I used? Either a ][e or ][gs at school. First one our household owned? A 286 (not any particular brand). First one that was "mine"? A mac LC2. First one i paid for with my own money? Uhhh I just remember it was a Dell, probably a pentium 4?

  • Well the "list" part comes from classified listings

  • Yep exactly. Luckily I'm not longer working at one, so I can uninstall it.

  • It's definitely iterative but the newer eInk screens are higher res and color. Dunno how refresh rates compare on the color screens.

  • They were subsidizing them to establish an ebook marketplace. They're no longer doing so.

    I still have my Kindle Keyboard. It still works but the front lighting on new ereaders is a big upgrade. The software was pretty primitive back then too.

  • I've worked places where they required specific TOTP apps. That's the only reason I had MS Authenticator on my phone

  • For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey's company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?
