Patrick, I salute you, sir, for this labor of love and dedication.

Sales is about behavior modification and getting the answer they want. Expect the AI to only get better unless it is leased in by legislation. Or prevented from publishing or moderating political discussion. Good luck with that, as long as SPAC and other monies continue to grow in volume. Ads = Revenue, and the AI is programmed to maximize revenue. At the cost of completely diving the country.

I do recommend watching "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix. The words straight fropm the mouths of the very people who programmed the exploitative behaviors of the Social media Giant machines are damning - and chilling. None of these people allow their kids under High Schol age to have a smart phone. The apps are simply too powerful for underdeveloped brains.

I'm sure there is an algorithm in any case.

Ya, that just made me think of how much opportunity there must be for software here. For starters, I imagine they use some kinda desktop software w/ mouse + keyboard, and likely have a GUI that lets them interact with many conversations at a time. They must have a lot of downtime between sending a message, and getting a reply, so they could hold at least a few concurrent conversations, perhaps many.

But, a good system could also have many fact-containing sentences programmed in, so a simple click adds the text into the box. And, maybe some code to analyze the user's message, and sort certain responses to the top to let the operator find them quickly. And then a good searchable index, along with hierarchically categorized facts the operator can sift through. I bet they have categories like "orange man bad", "fauci good", "trump nepotism", "climate change", "believe womyn" etc...

Something like that could cause the kinda replies you had, where they smell of both human and robot.

As for my phone, I just never answer unless I know the person. If it's important, they will leave a message.

Has anyone considered how fucked up it is that a person doesn't even want to answer the phone anymore?

Im trying to change this with my chatbot insurance sales system :)

@Patrick, they got your number from voter records. Political, medical, and business to business calls can skip most TCPA limitations. (If your number is registered as a business line you will get more spam calls).

For all other calls, the calling company must check your number against databases to make sure its not a cellphone nor on national do not call list before calling you from 9 am to 8 pm. A cellphone can never be called or texted w/o permission.

Only landlines are allowed to be cold called. Ofc most telemarketers are usually dialing prospects who entered info into contact forms in some digital funnel.

Rules on these opt ins are super dicey. Consumer is allowed to take away permission, but many companies send user info to 6 or more individual brokers... So you're fucked.

I once tested a new gmail and google voice number with assurance.com 's (sold to prudential for $6B) callback system. I put this new info in their contact form and voila : about 500 calls/texts/voicemails/emails over next fee weeks... Every type of random spam you can think of from penis pills and mortage refinancing (the form was for health insurance).

Notice he ended it by getting in a subtle last word - "stay safe". He's trying to subliminally convince you the scamdemic is cause for constant daily fear & caution, which of course is congruent with their "orange man caused pandemic" narrative.

@CBOEtrader I love it. Was the Darth comment your own, or is this screenshot from somewhere else?

This is my busy season and the chatbot absolutely killed it today! $2 conversions! People hate phone calls. I refer to myself the No Call broker, and clients are loving it. I have 6 phone appointments (requested by the client) for tomorrow.

You guys need to mask your phone number.

Its the callers phone number. Feel free to spam the Biden campaign bro

I blow up their phone if its a human. One guy I txt for days from work.

Patrick says

First of all, how the fuck did they get my number and know my name? That's pretty creepy right there.

There is a demonrat app which allows to rat out people's names and phone ## along with a guess wrt their party affiliation to DNC/Joe/Kameltoe. I guess somebody did that to you.

Patrick says

Cell carrier, any social media apps on the phone, google or apple account, any form where you put your real name and that cell number. Unless you're pretty paranoid about your privacy, there's endless sources for them.

Doh!

It's weird that donkeys are spending any time at all on CA voters. The shit is in the bag for them here, so why bother? Is it money they want?

Trying to rack up the score so that if Trump wins they can bray that Harris should be president because she won the popular vote.

Quite interestingly, they still think that I am Ms Garcia even though I have this number for over 5 years now, and I constantly get texts/calls/instructions how to vote early and vote D. Gives me tons of entertainment, and shows that their system is by no means perfect. Have never got a spam call by my real name.

Good point. Outside of NSA, the means of accurate data collection are certainly more limited. My phone was purchased using an Ebay account that doesn't tie back to me, paid with a gift card. I've had difficulty using it for 2fa on some sites, guessing because it's not associated with a real person.

I bought with my (wife's) real name, but from a reseller. I think that since 98% of population is orgasmically providing their personal data, companies do not put much thought into identifying customers as they identify themselves, so a few of us who are more discreet can slide by unnoticed unless something extraordinary happens.
My previous phone was like your's as well, but it was a fliphone and stopped working 5 yrs ago.

Lol, beautiful troll there.

I am actively pursuing a modified transgendered kids rights chat with MoveOn right now. Although I'm a few hours late responding to their text because I was busy at work.

If I can suck em in I'll post. Right now they are just looking for a $12 donation for fuck face.

Seems they gave up...

I get 1-2 texts per day asking if I have voted straight D and if not, telling me to do it. I respond by saying "voted for Trump since his supporters do not riot, loot, and burn down cities". After that, get a text saying "We have unsubscribed you and be safe"
Interesting that I have got exactly 0 texts/calls from R's. I am in a purple county.

They don't need to. Why waste the money? Even if they cheat, I still don't see Biden winning. Trump has been POTUS and things went fine if not great. Biden can't speak. Even the dumbest of people can see this. If he even gets 1-2% more black and hispanic vote, it's going to be a landslide.

I will, and you....."stay hetero"
