Indeed.

Why? The job is a job. I assume they have quite a lot of operators and they are crucial for certain processes which make their fairly simple job - a phone operator - crucial.

Sure, but now they're getting dozens of calls from curious HNers.

Why would people call? It's not a mystery what happens---they'll ask you for the access code, and do nothing else if you don't provide it.

It'd be a waste of time to call them.

I don't think you understand the breadth of legitimate responses to your "why" question. Lots of us called.

Oh, that's really interesting! What were you looking to find out, and what did they say?

So's commenting on HN, but look how many of us do it!

Convenience is not enough to make monopoly a right choice. This is a road towards monopoly (duopoly or just powerhouses holding the power - name it as you want it).

Yeah, many Google and FB services are great, but should you fully depend on them?

http://x-r.ai/ is working on a patent attorney AI to automate a lot of patent attorney work to resolve patent disputes more quickly and cheaply.

Hope they don't violate any patents in this process.

On the other hand, maybe they could violate them left and right and let the code sort it out.

Is there a version that works? Really interested in trying it.

you can sign up for updates at http://x-r.ai & be notified when it launches. thanks.
