Why Voice AI Is Hard to Listen To

Artificial intelligence has gotten great at automating customer support emails and text chats. But automating customer support phone calls is far more challenging because AI that can understand and generate human-sounding speech is still too costly, slow and unreliable, said Jesse Zhang, CEO of Decagon, a developer of AI for customer support.Decagon gets around the voice AI limitations by transcribing audio to text, then feeding it into an AI model that processes text. After the model produces a text respon

I grew up watching my mother apologize to my father for having opinions and I spent twenty years thinking I’d broken the pattern until my partner said ‘you always start your sentences with sorry’ and I heard her voice come out of my mouth.

Research says people who reach their 60s without close friends aren’t lonely because nobody wanted them — they’re lonely because they became so good at not needing people that people eventually stopped trying, and both of those things happened so gradually that neither one felt like a decision at the time

There’s something I didn’t notice until my late thirties. I’d look at my phone and realise I hadn’t spoken to some of my closest mates in months. Not because anything went wrong. Not because of some falling out or dramatic betrayal. Just because life got busy, and I assumed the friendships would hold themselves together ... Read more Read more â€ș

iPhone Exploit DarkSword Steals Data In Minutes With No Trace

BrianFagioli writes: A new iOS exploit chain called DarkSword shows how attackers can break into certain iPhones, grab sensitive data like messages, credentials, and even crypto wallets, and then disappear without leaving obvious traces. It targets older iOS 18 builds using Safari and WebGPU flaws to escape Apple's sandbox, which is pretty wild on its own, but what really stands out is how fast it works and how financially motivated...
