-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-27/as-ai-infiltrates-call-centers-human-workers-are-being-mistaken-for-bots )Jun 30 00:49
IsambardPrince"By the time Jessica Lindsey’s customers accuse her of being an AI, they are often already shouting. For the past two years, her work as a call center agent for outsourcing company Concentrix has been punctuated by people at the other end of the phone demanding to speak to a real human. Sometimes they ask her straight, ‘Are you an AI?’ Other times they just start yelling commands: ‘Speak to a representative! SpeJun 30 00:50
IsambardPrinceak to a representative!’Jun 30 00:50
IsambardPrinceLindsey, whose work involves selling and answering questions about credit cards for American Express, a Concentrix client, has developed her own tactics to try to calm customers. “I tell them, ‘I promise, I’m a real human.’” To demonstrate, she might cough or giggle, vocal tics she believes AI can’t replicate. “I even ask them, ‘Is there anything you want me to say to prove that I’m a real human?’”Jun 30 00:50
IsambardPrinceThis approach doesn’t always work, she said. Skeptical customers are already frustrated from dealing with the automated system that triages calls before they reach a person. So when Lindsey starts reading from her AmEx-approved script, callers are infuriated by what they perceive to be another machine. “They just end up yelling at me and hanging up,” she said, leaving Lindsey sitting in her home office in Oklahoma, shockeJun 30 00:50
IsambardPrinced and sometimes in tears. “Like, I can’t believe I just got cut down at 9:30 in the morning because they had to deal with the AI before they got to me.”Jun 30 00:50
IsambardPrinceConcentrix did not reply to a request for comment. American Express declined to comment."Jun 30 00:50

IsambardPrinceMinceR, A day without the Sci Fi Channel was like a day without sunshine, honestly.Jun 30 01:01
IsambardPrince25 years ago there wasn't a whole lot else to do.Jun 30 01:01
IsambardPrinceYou know, you're sitting there bored and watching MST3K. There is an outside, but it's a small town in Indiana surrounded by corn.Jun 30 01:01
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Have you seen that episode of Star Trek Voyager where they try to make the Q Continuum understandable by humans so they can show Janeway why Quinn wants to commit suicide? He represents it as a gas station and a corner store out in the middle of nowhere with a road that leads this way, and that way. Everyone is just sitting there. Some reading a book or something. A clock with no hands is on the wall. He said he's done Jun 30 01:03
IsambardPrinceeverything, seen everything. He points to a dog laying in front of the store. He says "I was even the dog once." and Q says "We've all taken turns being the dog!"Jun 30 01:03
IsambardPrinceIt's a good representation of being in Indiana.Jun 30 01:04
IsambardPrinceExcept he can't die.Jun 30 01:04
MinceRewJun 30 01:04
IsambardPrinceHe just lives forever. He knows everything that can be known. He's seen everything that he can see, done everything he can do in the entire universe.Jun 30 01:04
IsambardPrinceAnd now he just gets to be bored, forever.Jun 30 01:04
MinceRi suspect the small town in indiana is still a better place to be than fucking budapestJun 30 01:04
IsambardPrinceAnd so the boredom becomes painful enough that he wants to die.Jun 30 01:04
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Yeah, it was better back then.Jun 30 01:05
IsambardPrinceThat town was like living in a bubble where time doesn't really move.Jun 30 01:05
IsambardPrinceYou don't notice the rest of the state too much.Jun 30 01:05
IsambardPrinceEverything's pretty boring.Jun 30 01:06
IsambardPrinceWell kept, but boring.Jun 30 01:06
IsambardPrinceEfficiently administered, but boring.Jun 30 01:06
IsambardPrinceMinceR, When I watched Jericho I imagined the small town I lived in at war with Marion.Jun 30 01:07
IsambardPrinceYou remember that episode where they went to war with the next town over.Jun 30 01:07
IsambardPrinceAnd some of them had built mortars.Jun 30 01:07
IsambardPrince:DJun 30 01:07
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I was having trouble with the neighbors propping open the laundry room door and having a bunch of heat and humidity get through and come out near my apartment. So I rigged the magnet so it can't latch the door anymore unless someone pushes it back. Nobody has. That was a week ago.Jun 30 01:23
IsambardPrinceI thing the magnet was just catching it. They weren't even propping it open on purpose.Jun 30 01:23

IsambardPrinceMinceR, Since Trump's steel tariffs, a $39 mixing bowl set at Amazon went up to $73.Jun 30 01:53
IsambardPrinceSo I guess I'll just get another set of plastic ones at Walmart for $11.Jun 30 01:53
IsambardPrinceValery Legasov: Why? For the same reason our reactors do not have containment buildings around them, like those in the West. For the same reason we don't use properly enriched fuel in our cores. For the same reason we are the only nation that builds water-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors with a positive void coefficient.Jun 30 01:54
IsambardPrince[pause]Jun 30 01:54
IsambardPrinceValery Legasov: It's cheaper.Jun 30 01:54
IsambardPrince:0Jun 30 01:54
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I loved that speech at the end of the series.Jun 30 01:56
IsambardPrinceIt WOULD be cheaper to run an RBMK reactor....Jun 30 01:56
IsambardPrinceExcept that one exploded and caused the most expensive disaster in history, due to design flaws and corner cutting.Jun 30 01:56
IsambardPrinceTrump's tariffs are not actually creating steel jobs if companies and consumers avoid steel now entirely because it costs too much.Jun 30 01:58
IsambardPrinceBut try explaining economics to Trump or anyone dumb enough to vote for Trump.Jun 30 01:58
IsambardPrinceWhat high steel prices do is create a huge gap between the cost of something that's made of steel and something made of another material.Jun 30 01:59
IsambardPrinceThey create an incentive to avoid the tariff, not jobs in the steel industry.Jun 30 01:59
MinceRand with the commie/nazis winning, there are more people "thinking" that way than ever beforeJun 30 01:59
MinceRour species deserves to wipe itself outJun 30 02:00
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I described a local judge that used to be a prosecutor.Jun 30 02:11
IsambardPrinceI said "He's like a turd that won't fucking flush. The voters threw him out but he came back up and now he's a judge."Jun 30 02:12

IsambardPrinceYou go poof pooof poof and some of it comes off, but never all of it.Jun 30 03:06
IsambardPrinceIt's always that one speck of dandruff. Lands right in the center.Jun 30 03:06
IsambardPrinceOne day I'm going to give up and decide that a 0.1% chance of going blind due to LASIK is worth the 99.9% chance of not having to look through dandruff.Jun 30 03:07

IsambardPrinceMinceR, It's for when you're tired of half your income going to eyeglass wipes and decide it's time to get extreme.Jun 30 03:08
IsambardPrinceThe Final SolutionJun 30 03:08
IsambardPrinceLASIKJun 30 03:08
MinceRi don't think i spend that much on eyeglass wipesJun 30 03:08
MinceRi've started experimenting with blowers and microfiber towels too, though i haven't attempted to have the latter washed yetJun 30 03:09
IsambardPrinceYou do if you're like me. The first wipe gets them basically clean but mostly smears it all around.Jun 30 03:09
IsambardPrinceThen they're light streaks.Jun 30 03:09
IsambardPrinceSo you open up another wipe and go at it again.Jun 30 03:09
IsambardPrinceyou can just go "fuck it" and use Dawn dish soap and rinse them really well and let them dry, then wipe the water spots off with a wipe.Jun 30 03:10
MinceRmy previous method was just rinse it under the tap, wipe with a new wet wipe, rinse again, get the droplets off with a thin stream of water, wipe the remaining water off the frame with a towelJun 30 03:29

techrights-newsThe Web is fast becoming a "glitch". Looking for information on the Web is tricky, as the signal-to-spam (or slop) ratio decreases fast.Jun 30 07:08
techrights-newsAnd "search engines", seeing this trend and recognising the problem, try to become even worse.

techrights-newsYesterday (Sunday) Techrights served 558,849 WWW hits, but many were just worthless bots. Hard to imagine how sites with a large database can justify the cost computing and serving that, as even with caching they would have to do lots of backend work.

techrights-newsThe protocols themselves are OK. As for HTML, many sites don't do that anymore. Their domains are just an anchor for JavaScript or WASM "webapps". They're not sites but "resources" and they're not user-friendly in any way; it's not even possible to link to things in them.Jun 30 07:18

IsambardPrinceI've been taking daily vitamins c and d ever since COVID started making the rounds.Jun 30 09:08
IsambardPrinceWho knows if it helps? Can't hurt. Yes. I've had the doctor routinely check my vitamin d levels and they're good.Jun 30 09:09
IsambardPrinceSevere COVID is more likely in people who have vitamin d deficiency, and most Americans are deficient in vitamin d.Jun 30 09:09
IsambardPrinceIt was interesting that all the studies suggested vitamin d could help, but instead of recommending that, they recommended all those damned shots that don't work.Jun 30 09:10

IsambardPrinceI've always had really good hearing.Jun 30 09:52
IsambardPrinceI can't tolerate heat, but I love subzero temperatures.Jun 30 09:52
IsambardPrinceI have outrageous electric bills in the summer, but in the winter I hardly have to pay them anything because I can just kill power to all the baseboards and not heat the place. It stays around 60 F in here even without heat because of the building and being underground.Jun 30 09:54
IsambardPrinceOne reason I don't want to go anywhere is because I might have to run the heater if we're not underground. Another is the ISP told me I can always have the discount for poor people, as long as I don't move.Jun 30 09:56

IsambardPrincepsydruid, I ran Windows 11 on an old Windows 10 era PC from 2016 for a few days to see how it worked out.Jun 30 10:06
IsambardPrinceEverything was noticeably slower than Windows 10.Jun 30 10:06
IsambardPrinceEven if it was just opening a tab in Brave or something, it was janky. It's all those little things that add up. Or a couple fps in a Steam game. Or more RAM being used because there's features you don't even want, or things that are actively harmful, in Windows 11 that were maybe not even there in Windows 10.Jun 30 10:07
IsambardPrinceBut whatever the case, Brave runs fine on Linux on that PC.Jun 30 10:08
IsambardPrinceEverything runs fine in Linux on that PC. It's still as responsive for most uses as a computer you can buy 9 years later that comes with Windows 11.Jun 30 10:08
IsambardPrinceSo what is wrong with this picture?Jun 30 10:08
IsambardPrinceObviously Windows 11 is so inefficient that it's taken, in many ways. Maybe not raw GPU performance or something, but on the CPU end, it's taken 9 years of improvements, and nullified them.Jun 30 10:09
IsambardPrinceMost users will be fine with a desktop and a GPU that's good enough for desktop effects, accelerating videos, and so on.Jun 30 10:10
IsambardPrinceYou need to compare Windows 10 and 11 and Linux on the same PC, and you'll see Windows 11 is the slowest of all of them.Jun 30 10:10
itechyou dont want your computer to feel too fastJun 30 10:10
IsambardPrinceEven when I used Windows, I often downgraded it to the older version.Jun 30 10:11
IsambardPrinceI had PCs that came with Windows XP that for whatever reason, I stuck Windows 98 and Windows 2000 on them.Jun 30 10:11
IsambardPrinceEven Windows 98 on Pentium 4 era systems that Intel said it couldn't run on.Jun 30 10:11
IsambardPrinceIt turned out the only block for the drivers was they added detection for Windows 98 and popped up a fake error message.Jun 30 10:12
IsambardPrinceThe WDM chipset drivers worked fine. You rebooted, all the hardware came up./Jun 30 10:12
IsambardPrinceThen it was just run RoM II and have it rip out MSIE and all the other garbage, install the Nvidia driver.Jun 30 10:12
IsambardPrinceYes, I even got Halo 2 for "Vista" to work on Windows 98, but it took some doing.Jun 30 10:13
vanveldtAll of that do not account for the fact that the default Microsoft apps are technically webappsJun 30 10:13
IsambardPrinceThe 2006 redist of DirectX 9.0c, KernelEx, the Halo 2 "XP" community patch that ripped out all the garbage that tested for Vista's kernel and the deliberate crash Microsoft planted halfway into the game.Jun 30 10:14
IsambardPrinceI also had to dll stomp the Games for Windows Live dll with a broken dummy.Jun 30 10:14
IsambardPrinceBut in the end, it actually worked.Jun 30 10:15
IsambardPrinceI think what schestowitz[TR3] means is that the problems users run into today are not even necessarily about Microsoft at all.Jun 30 10:15
IsambardPrinceMicrosoft is THAT irrelevant that when you run into a problem, they're not even the problem anymore.Jun 30 10:16

If the government continues to open the question of citizenship up for people who have already received it, this creates a slippery slope for everyone, she said.Jun 30 23:38
