AI voices need to identify themselves as such, so the other party knows they are talking to a software robot. If we know we are talking to a robot, we absolutely do not need AI voices doing emotional vocalisations, or even worse: vocal fry or uptalk. Instant tab close and laptop slam.

Why does the network backbone of Telegram matter?
Because as @pwnallthethings.bsky.social was pointing out in 2022 (www.pwnallthethings.com/i/86455222/t...), Telegram's in-house TLS replacement provides a cleartext permanent device ID!
The network can follow users across WiFis, data plans, etc.

30 telecoms masts AND ~15 various electrical grid units have been sabotaged last months in south-east Sweden.
The sabotages are concentrated along highway E22, ie one of the main routes needed to reinforce Gotland in case of conflict. Ports are along this route, with the main one in the middle.
