Well, you’re just wrong about that. I worked for a company that employed front of the line customer service in Toronto that paid $80k…in 2017! I’m not saying Air Canada does (I have no idea what AC wages are), but if their agents are part of a union, it’s definitely possible.
But my point stands - if anyone thinks these companies are going to ‘do the right thing’ and hire real people when these AI chatbots exist and are so cheap, it’s just not going to happen.
I didn’t say they would pay $100k. I said it would cost probably $100k including benefits - a full time employee cost isn’t just their salary or hourly wage. There’s lots of overhead cost to employ a person at a large company. Also keep in mind this is for a Canadian, so don’t be thinking in USD. In CAD in the Toronto area (for example), it isn’t unreasonable to think even a first line phone based customer service agent salary would be between $65-70k, then the employee expenses on top of that.
Chatbot = basically free
Yearly employee = probably about $100k incl benefits
Should they hire a person? Absolutely. Will they if they can get away with it? Aww hell naw.
You’ve made my DS220+ blush
Same here. Last year I upgraded from a DS214+ and it was still running great. The only reason I upgraded to the DS220+ was so I could run docker containers.
I sold it for $200 which meant I ran it for 9 years for about $57 a year (CAD). I’m hoping to get even better bang for the buck with the new unit.
On an iPhone?
This is the piracy community. A comment like this isn’t very useful without at least a point in the right direction of how to get started doing this. How do you find one?
Similar but I’m running either Nvidia Shield or Google TV. I use Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin as the front-end. It’s great.
The Jellyfin for Kodi add-on has been out for 3 years. I use the Jellyfin app for content when I’m away from home, but I use Kodi for a front end for all my home based clients. Works great.
Seconded for Thunder and it is available cross platform (iOS and Android). I like Voyager too but Thunder uses iPad screen real estate better IMO. RIP Liftoff
Ah, so it’s you who took my screen name 😉
Good
