global politics may indeed be moving be right, but the countries with strong social fabrics may weather the storm.

our weak fabric, our decades and scores of contemptible acts toward not just other nations, but our own people, cannot weather it.

we unfortunately will reset, better or worse.

you might think it goes back to citizens united. or maybe even the dulles brothers. go further, to the revolution.

america was the texas of britain. the ungovernable. and we have long prided ourselves on those genes. but we are finally seeing that payment is due when the global dynamics change.

lol, most concise and accurate review of it ever. should be the tagline 😂

These tasks are normally handled by higher paid humans, so customers gain efficiency and savings. It is highly profitable for AI companies, as voice is charged per minute at 2-4x cost. Happy to share details if you’re still skeptical.

Lots of use cases, especially vertical specific. Triaging inbound communications from drivers in freight is an example.
