The first time I talked with AI santa and it responded with a joke I was HOOKED. The fun/nonsense doesn't click until you try it yourself. What's even more exciting is you can build it yourself:

libpeer: https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer

pion: https://github.com/pion/webrtc

Then go do all your fun logic in your Pion server. Connect to any Voice AI provider, or roll your own via Open Source. Anything is possible.

If you have questions or hit any roadblocks I would love to help you. I have lots of hardware snippets on my GitHub: https://github.com/sean-der.

I can’t help feeling this technology will end up more widely deployed for a related but less wholesome application.

I swear to god, people need to stop trying to go for 100% completion in turning every Black Mirror episode into reality.

I think it's more of a speed run really. I'm waiting for Santa to start suggesting that the kid could have more presents if it weren't for those pesky siblings type of nonsense
