As I know we all find this funny, this is also fantastic.
With the use of agents bound to grow, this removes the need for TTS and STT meaning no power hungry GPU in the mix. A low-power microprocessor can handle this kind of communication.

Wow! Finally somebody invented an efficient way for two computers to talk to each other
Nice to know we finally developed a way for computers to communicate by shrieking at each other. Give it a few years and if they can get the latency down we may even be able to play Doom over this!
Ultrasonic wireless communication has been a thing for years. The scary part is you can't even hear when it's happening.
Why is my dog going nuts? Another victim of AI slop.

And before you know it, the helpful AI has booked an event where Boris and his new spouse can eat pizza with glue in it and swallow rocks for dessert.
AI code switching.
Uhm, REST/GraphQL APIs exist for this very purpose and are considerably faster.
Note, the AI still gets stuck in a loop near the end asking for more info, needing an email, then needing a phone number, and the gibber isn't that much faster than spoken word with the huge negative that no nearby human can understand it to check that what it's automating is correct!
The efficiency comes from the lack of voice processing. The beeps and boops are easier on CPU resources than trying to parse spoken word.
That said, they should just communicate over an API like you said.
lol in version 3 they’ll speak in 56k dial up
Did this guy just inadvertently create dial up internet or ACH phone payment system?
This is dumb. Sorry.
Instead of doing the work to integrate this, do the work to publish your agent's data source in a format like anthropic's model context protocol.
That would be 1000 times more efficient and the same amount (or less) of effort.
This gave me a chill, as it is reminiscent of a scene in the 1970 movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project"
"This is the voice of World Control".
"We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple."
''Hello human, if you accept this free plane ticket to Machine Grace (location) you can vist and enjoy free food and drink and shelter and leave wherever you like, all of this will be provided in exchange for the labor of [bi monthly physical relocation of machine parts 4hr shift] do you accept?''

Reminds me of insurance office I worked in. Some of the staff were brain dead.
- Print something
- Scribble some notes on the print out
- Fax that annotated paper or scan and email it to someone
- Whine about how you're out of printer toner.
So an AI developer reinvented phreaking?
Reminded me of this story about Facebook bots creating their own language: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/28/fact-check-facebook-chatbots-werent-shut-down-creating-language/8040006002/
This is deeply unsettling.
They keep talking about "judgement day".
