    I don’t know what kind of voicemail you’re referring to, the one provided by networks over here just sends the caller to voicemail if you don’t pick up, you will get a text later.

    There may be a different voicemail service where you live (visual voicemail?) that I have no experience using.

    Then there’s Call Screening that android had indeed been had for a while, but it doesn’t record a message, it’s a back and forth interactive conversation and you can see the transcript in real time.

    It’s not the same. You can’t answer it mid-recording. and if the phone call turns out to be important, you have to call back, and if it’s a company you’ll likely have to navigate a maze of options, then wait while “all operators are busy”.



  • The answer lies within the article

    Publishers legally control content that AI companies desperately want, but AI companies don’t always want to negotiate a license. The first-sale doctrine offered a workaround: Once you buy a physical book, you can do what you want with that copy—including destroy it. That meant buying physical books offered a legal workaround.

    And yet buying things is expensive, even if it is legal. So like many AI companies before it, Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called “legal/practice/business slog”—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become “not so gung ho about” using pirated ebooks “for legal reasons” and needed a safer source.
