Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course
  • I had a shipment from Amazon recently with an order that was supposed to include 3 items but actually only had 2 of them. Amazon marked all 3 of my items as delivered. So I got on the web site to report it and there is no longer any direct way to report it. I ended up having to go thru 2 separate chatbots to get a replacement sent. Ended up wasting 10 minutes to report a problem that should have taken 10 seconds.

  • Shit is about to get real.
  • He’s just trying to cover his arse and recover what’s left of his shattered reputation.

    Nope. The reason he is doing this is to keep on getting the narcistic attention that all narcissists crave. Its the same reason he joined with Trump in the first place. He wanted to horn in on Trump's narcistic attention. And now after being fired he wants to keep on getting narcistic attention independently of Trump's narcistic attention.

  • Ex-MAGA Rep. Joe Walsh announced Tuesday that he is joining the Democratic Party
  • So democrats are republicans with a sense of shame?

    Nope. There is a very easy objective way to tell Republicans and Democrats apart. Republicans are politicians who vote for huge tax cuts for billionaires and Dems are politicians who vote against it.

  • Ex-MAGA Rep. Joe Walsh announced Tuesday that he is joining the Democratic Party
  • Nope. 20 years ago all Republicans were voting for tax cuts for the rich just like today and 20 years ago even fewer Dems were voting against tax cuts for the rich than today. Dems stopped moving to the right about 25 years ago and since then have been moving left, although way too slowly.

  • Trump is doing this to show his followers that he owns the libs. That he is powerful.

    Nobody is ever going to forget that Trump is a ridiculous clown though. This just reinforces that Trump is a narcistic buffoon, and gives DC residents a great opportunity to show up with Baby Trump and Clown Trump pictures.

  • Both of them do genocide, have a shitty human rights record, have neocolonial tendencies, shitty worker’s rights, no proper democracy, etc.

    Wow just think how much more they could accomplish if they could chose their own leaders and say things they wanted to say without being thrown in jail and tortured or killed and their capital was in Taipei and they weren't held back by a ruthless dictator who was only supposed to be a dictator for 10 years but decided he wanted to remain dictator for life.

  • NASA leveled by Trump
  • china that dont start with genocide

    Yes is sucks for the Chinese that their government keeps committing genocide and they don't have any way to end that by choosing their own leaders. Except for our lucky friends in Taiwan.

  • NASA leveled by Trump
  • we’ll all be better off if the Great Satan isn’t the center of scientific progress.

    No, I wouldn't be better off living in a country where women are arrested and killed for appearing in public without a silly garment covering their head.

    New AI-Powered Scam Detection Features to Help Protect You on Android

    More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.

    We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.

    Washington State joined with more than a dozen states, accusing landlords of colluding to inflate rents through price-fixing, Washington's Attorney General Nick Brown said last month.

    Bill to to revoke Trump's "emergency order" to bypass congress in proclaiming tariffs failed because two senators were absent.

    Vice President JD Vance late Wednesday cast a tie-breaking vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the Senate.

    Vice President Vance casts tie-breaking Senate vote to kill bipartisan effort to rebuke Trump’s trade policy | CNN Politics

    Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

    Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.

    Trump white house has confirmed that DOGE is combining data that it has collected across agencies

    In March, President Trump issued an executive order aiming to eliminate the data silos that keep everything separate. Historically, much of the data collected by the government had been heavily compartmentalized and secured; even for those legally authorized to see sensitive data, requesting access for use by another government agency is typically a painful process that requires justifying what you need, why you need it, and proving that it is used for those purposes only. Not so under Trump.

    "DOGE's verified savings have been less than 1/10 of 1% of federal spending," says conservative budget expert

    "There have been embarrassing accounting errors, lots of public statements that turned out to be false or misleading, or actions slapped back by the courts."

    "The spending savings are so small that they will be undoubtedly overwhelmed by the significant tax revenue losses which result from gutting IRS tax enforcement," Riedl tells Axios.
