AI's appetite for computation scales with the willingness of their funders to provide heavily discounted tokens to the general public. The basic play here is to get companies to fire people and adapt internal processes to the current h

Yeah if US mail is as spam compromised as it is, you can forget about phone calls ever being cleaned up. In the era of Target specialized AI that can mimic voices, writing styles, communication is now fundamentally compromised without some
