Now Dialing: ChatGPT

For the 10th day of “ship-mas,” OpenAI rolled out a way to call ChatGPT for up to 15 minutes for free over the phone using 1-800-CHATGPT.

The 15-minute limit is per phone number per month, so really, you could spin up a few Google Voice numbers to get as much time with it as you want.

OpenAI sees this feature as an important stepping stone for newcomers to AI, since the service represents a simplified version of ChatGPT compared to its web-based counterpart.

It follows a similar trend to those that came before it — namely Alexa and Siri — and will allow a more seamless experience for on-the-go AI.

However, there are negative implications… one being: how much do we really want to replace human interaction with AI? Can we not engage in decision-making and reason on our own without relying on the artificial intelligence crutch?

America Needs AI Agents (Part Two)

AI agents are trained with real-world, niche knowledge — captured directly from observing the old-timers who know the quirks of every machine, valve, and process.

And they’re goal-oriented.

Unlike chatbots, they don’t just answer. They plan. They break problems into steps, reason through the data, and iterate until they solve it.

Imagine taking that retiring engineer’s 30 years of wisdom, putting it into an AI, and turning it into a digital assistant who never leaves and keeps learning.

And it’s not just a theory… one company is already doing it for the semiconductor industry.

AI to the Rescue: Timing Strokes for Better Treatment

The problem with strokes is knowing when exactly the stroke happened… and how far and fast it’s developing in the brain.

But because all brains are unique, it is very hard to predict with accuracy when the stroke started. Even if doctors know an approximate chronological start time, an individual's blood flow or blood vessel structure may mean the stroke is progressing more quickly or slowly than average.

But a new AI software could remedy the two biggest challenges in stroke treatment. Because of additional features from the scans, such as texture, and accounts for variations within the lesion and background, the software isn’t just good at estimating the chronological time of the stroke, but also the biological age of the lesions, by which is meant whether they may be reversible.
