Crisis lines in general are facing an existential crisis of their own: Demand is higher than ever while resources keep getting cut. Staffing is difficult. Trump ended support for LGBTQ youth on 988 last year (tho it's supposedly coming back). I get the temptation to augment with AI, I do.

I do wonder if this culture finds its way into conversations. I've texted the CTL myself since they started this approach found the interaction robotic. People complain about this on Reddit, however, hear from CTL volunteers who say that's just how they're trained.

Apparently the CTL has been a tech industry darling for years. (In addition to lots of funding from more traditional sources.)
None of this discounts the work they do.

CTL says all *conversations* are with real humans. Conversations are, however, saved (after being anonymized) to train their internal AI system--and have been since 2018. Again, difficult to fault this. Seems like there are consent issues, tho? [www.crisistextline.org/blog/2018/03...](https://www.crisistextline.org/blog/2018/03/28/detecting-crisis-an-ai-solution/ )

CTL did keep an ownership stake in Loris, which was acquired last year by Contentsquare for $22M. That company promotes Loris as helping to "evaluate agent empathy and adherence to scripts" and "detect customer frustration for immediate intervention."

This is old news. There was a controversy about it in 2022, when Politico reported that Crisis Text Line was sharing anonymized data with a *for-profit* spin-off. They stopped data-sharing and ask Loris to delete the info.

TIL the Crisis Text Line uses AI to rout people according to urgency and type of issue and to train volunteers.
They argue the volume of inquires (over a 1M annually) demands it. I'm sympathetic to this! And they are not secretive about it. Still!

Interesting finding in latest TX senate poll: In a hypothetical match-up against Cornyn, it’s also Talarico by a hair/statistical tie: 43.6-42.7.
That Cornyn doesn’t poll much better than Paxton should terrify the GOP. The problem isn’t just Paxton.

From a Fox Poll out 7/31: Talarico-Paxton is the marquee race down here but check out the dead heat btw Abbott and Hinojosa for governor. This contest isn't even on the radar for the national Dems, AFAIK. She's has $3m cash on hand--Abbott has *$67m*. Some more highlights from the poll... /1

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters win—we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter!
The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.
