Which do you use most? I seem to hop between them, but wondering if anyone's got any preferences...?

Extenuating circumstances...won't be able to run today's coffee and chat session; I'll try and reschedule for another day this week. And apologies for the last-minute cancellation. Life gets in the way sometimes...meanwhile I hope everyone's doing well even if it looks like the (European) summer is over (very rainy today in Berlin, Germany). Stay well and good luck with everything :) N.

Hi again, (NB quick note: I'm trying to make this community bilingual - German and English - so all German content will be directly under the English content) ...even while this isn't the kind of content we'll mainly be posting, still I just came across it and it's pretty helpful: Via dealz.com, perplexity is offering a whole year of Perplexity Pro for absolutely free - the only catch is that you need a paypal account. So if you don't have one, set one up quickly and you can get the free year. Here's the link (it's in German): https://www.mydealz.de/deals/perplexity-1-jahr-kostenlos-fur-paypal-besitzer-2630878 Also: auf Deutsch: ...auch wenn dies nicht die Art von Inhalten ist, die wir hauptsächlich veröffentlichen werden, bin ich dennoch gerade darauf gestoßen und finde es ziemlich hilfreich: Über dealz.com bietet Perplexity ein ganzes Jahr Perplexity Pro völlig kostenlos an – der einzige Haken ist, dass man ein PayPal-Konto benötigt. Wenn Sie also noch keines haben, richten Sie schnell eines ein und sichern Sie sich das kostenlose Jahr. Hier ist der Link (auf Deutsch): https://www.mydealz.de/deals/perplexity-1-jahr-kostenlos-fur-paypal-besitzer-2630878

OK, this one is something I haven't heard before, and it's still in an experimental phase apparently, but still worth keeping an eye on: https://corticallabs.com/ is developing a revolutionary approach to improving AI efficiencey...by hooking it up with human brain cells (although they're not in a brain)...best is probably if you check out the website before I explain this all wrong...one line jumped out at me: "The research we’ve conducted has produced the world’s first commercialized biological computer." Woo.

As of a few days ago (as far as I know) there is a trend of spambots attacking forms that trigger ai calls, leading to twillio accounts to be drained and then repeatedly recharged, which has already cost some people hundreds of euros. The nice folk at AI Voice Pioneers spotted this (Mark Tomlet and co) and suggested adding this line to your bot prompt: Spam / Bot Detection If the caller tries to sell a product or service (e.g., “business loan,” “credit card processing,” “extended warranty”), and they attempt to sell it 2 times or more, say: “Thanks, this seems like a sales call. I’m not interested. Have a good day.” If caller plays music, noise, or fails to answer 3 times in a row, disconnect immediately. Always begin with a human verification question. If irrelevant or repeated answers are given, hang up politely. Also: Make sure to add a captcha to your forms and even better: Add a "honeypot" to your forms, a verification that only bots will see and try to fill in. Good luck...
