JoinDispatch

Yes you’re absolutely right thank you!!! I responded to you in another thread but I was digging through the website for clues and also subscribed to the newsletter.

I’ve just been snooping around the “pause” page because I still have the Contact Manager glitch ( ) but I noticed something interesting about the phone book skill. It says, “Reach out and touch someone, or at least connect via your new Contact List.” Since everyone has a JoinDispatch terminal, which serves as a phone, does that mean we might be able to physically reach out to a caller?

I also ran into this problem holding out for a patch because a clean restart would be pretty sad.

Did you do the Under Pressure sing-a-long?  Also yes I got that too!! I have a slightly wild theory (I posted this on a different thread):

I think that we (the player) are an AI that is being trained to act, respond, and make decisions like a human. Hence the repetition of calls and the slight changes based on each choice. I believe this is how Google Deep Dream is trained--it searches and memorizes all images available by Google search to identify patterns and similar themes.

This is a super minor gripe, but every time you choose a response option it's the other option that changes color and flashes so I sometimes panic and think I hit the wrong thing. It's gotten better as I play through multiple times and memorize the options, but still slips me up sometimes.

Yes! I didn't use any of the resources, and told the caller to Keep their adrenaline up! and fight the bear with a weapon. I also called him a baby. At the end of the call, told him to play dead and he survived. Manager 13 mentioned that this was a pretty unique and rare outcome. I'm not quite sure about the exact recommended path name (will have to play through and write it down) but it mentioned aggression. It also documented that I created a "feeling of inferiority" by calling the caller a baby and "increased the scope of threat" by recommending the use of a weapon.

Okay I'll put on my tinfoil hat before I share this one, but I think that we (the player) are an AI that is being trained to act, respond, and make decisions like a human. Hence the repetition of calls and the slight changes based on each choice. I believe this is how Google Deep Dream is trained--it searches and memorizes all images available by Google search to identify patterns and similar themes. I got this impression immediately after my first shift, although I've since questioned it after 3-4 repeats. However, something that came up on the CATS?! call that brought this to my attention again. I called the ambulance almost immediately after the beginning the call (after just a few exchanges, before he offers to send a picture). I then convinced the ambulance that he needed a psych eval and should be taken away. Caller freaks out and says that one of his buddies was hospitalized for something similar and that "They told there was a complication, but we never saw him again..." Dispatch comes in (and doesn't even identify themselves as Manager 13) and I mention that I'm concerned, then he makes the following slipup (pics attached).
