banks say they can't tell a person from a bot when one calls customer service. fair, their phone menus have had all of us talking like bots for 20 years. "representative." "REPRESENTATIVE."
SITUATION EXPLAINED: US banks are finding AI agents inside customer accounts, and some appear to be acting without the user's instructions. • The banks include Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo, and some don't even know agents are getting in • Many are people's own agents, like Meta's Muse, logging in with the user's password, which most banks don't allow • Banks often can't tell a person from a bot, and some agents have even called customer service lines • Banks are blocking agents, rewriting their terms, and moving to read-only access that shows balances but can't move money • Schwab says it stops outside agents trying to move client money "in the tens and twenties" every week • Many agents can tap through your phone the way you do, banking app included, and your phone already holds most of your life @theojaffee: "It seems like there's definitely a problem with people abusing AI agents before they are reliable enough, before they are aligned enough, and before they are capable enough to take actions on behalf of the user, kinda like someone with power of attorney would, without messing things up."

suparelay lets you cap how long a call can run so when the airline says the wait is about 45 minutes, you decide how many of those you're paying for

from nov 1, unsaved domestic calls in india show the caller's registered name a call from abroad still just says "international call". worth telling family so they don't hang up assuming spam

a yougov survey for wise, 14,000 travelers: 24% have bought something at a café they didn't want, just for the wifi 7% have asked a total stranger to share their hotspot so for every traveler brave enough to ask, there are three more nursing a latte they never wanted

suparelay runs two queues on cloudflare. work that someone on a live call is waiting for gets its own lane. everything that can wait goes in the other one. so a person mid-call never sits behind a background job. do you split your queues, or is it one big line?

A breath of fresh air
Linus Torvalds to the anti-AI crowd: stop using compilers if you want to prove they’re REAL programmers. LOL. “you had better not use an editor to write that commit message either. The kind of expectations *I* have is that people do their best and I expect people to understand what they are doing. But that understanding has very little to do with what tools they use. And quite honestly, in my experience, the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools.”

starlink's 1-888 support line is answered by grok voice now. the api lists at 8¢ a minute. calling that line from a browser on suparelay is 4¢ a minute. so the robot picking up costs twice what the call does
SpaceX says @Starlink call centers use Grok Voice to answer 20,000 customer calls per day. ~70% are resolved with no human in the loop, and one in four sales calls ends in a purchase before the caller hangs up. Grok Voice 3.0 also handles millions of convos a day in Tesla vehicles.
