AI Granny Turns Tables on Phone Scammers

A British internet provider has unleashed Daisy, an AI-powered “granny” whose sole mission is to keep scammers tangled in endless conversation so they have less time to target real victims.

Trained on real scammer scripts, Daisy plays the part of a sweet but tech-challenged senior, frustrating fraudsters with gems like, “I can see a lot of options on the screen, what do you want me to type, dear?” and “It’s showing me the picture of my cat Fluffy.”

With many people itching to get back at scammers, Daisy might just be the passive-aggressive hero we didn’t know we needed. Watch a video of Daisy in action.

Firefighters Save 2-Year-Old from Texas Blaze

Volunteer firefighters in Granbury, Texas, rescued 2-year-old Liam from a severe apartment fire early Sunday morning.

His mother woke to the sound of breaking glass as flames consumed their balcony. She escaped with her 4-year-old but couldn’t reach Liam due to thick smoke.

Firefighters arrived quickly, using a ladder to reach the window where Liam was trapped. They pulled him to safety, and he was airlifted to a hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Now recovered, Liam has been reunited with his family. His mom thanked the firefighters for their swift action, crediting them with saving her son’s life. Watch the rescue video here.
