"AI tools will take the industry into “a new era of debt collections,” according to New York and Bangalore-based Skit.ai. A digital voice agent—the new incarnation of a robocall, using AI chatbots and text-to-speech capabilities for dynamic, responsive conversations—could make millions of outbound calls in just a few days, the company claimed, contacting and requesting payment from a collection agency’s entire portfolio of debtors at a far lower cost than human staff."
This is an interesting thing to think about.
"a city study found in 2020 that the opening of new Dollar General stores drove other companies out of business, deterring potential grocers from investing there."

If this is true, that prime-time Trump infomercial was an even more shameful act of journalistic malpractice on CNN's part than was previously understood.

"n 2020, most of the net proceeds — $92,000 — did not go toward Uplift’s programs. Instead, the nonprofit used these funds to reimburse Brown’s supermarket chain for scores of food donations and small grants to community groups"
Pay attention. Tons of cash to spend on...inflaming progressives into voting! That's all this does. A waste of time and money, and honestly, it might actually help MAGA if it means Dems don't vote. Good job jackasses!

"While AI generators are useful for writing believable, human-like text, they are also prone to including erroneous information, and even citing sources and academic papers which don’t exist. This often results in text summaries which seem accurate, but on closer inspection are revealed to be completely fabricated."

“The real question of who is qualified for the job to be the next leader of this city hasn’t really been focused on,” Domb said. “On Council, you are a legislator. As the CEO of the city of Philadelphia, you are now over a budget of $6 billion”
