Paul CzegeIs this not an amazing photo I took today? How long has it been since Redbox went out of business? The clock isn't running. But life goes on. I'm thinking of entering it in the state fair photo competition.
fraggleWhile blue boxes manipulated long distance switching, red boxes exploited payphone coin mechanisms by generating the exact audio frequencies that payphones used to register coin deposits. These devices replicated the distinctive sound signatures of nickels (66ms of 1700Hz and 2200Hz), dimes (33ms), and quarters (130ms) that payphones transmitted over the phone line to validate payment before connecting calls. The technique worked because early payphones used in band signaling, transmitting coin validation tones over the same audio channel as voice calls, making them vulnerable to audio replay attacks. Red boxes became popular in the 1980s and 1990s because they were simpler to build than blue boxes, requiring only basic tone generators that could be constructed from Radio Shack components or even programmed into early handheld devices. Phone companies eventually caught on and implemented cryptographic validation and out of band signaling that made red boxing obsolete, but not before thousands of payphones were essentially turned into free phones for anyone with a $20 handheld device.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"A DSIT spokesperson told New Scientist: “No one should be spending time on something AI can do better and more quickly. Built in Whitehall, Redbox is helping us harness the power of AI in a safe, secure, and practical way – making it easier for officials to summarise documents, draft agendas and more. This ultimately speeds up our work and frees up officials to focus on shaping policy and improving services – driving the change this country needs.”
But the use of generative AI tools concerns some experts. Large language models have well-documented issues around bias and accuracy that are difficult to mitigate, so we have no way of knowing if Redbox is providing good-quality information. DSIT declined to answer specific questions about how users of Redbox avoid inaccuracies or bias.
“My issue here is that government is supposed to serve the public, and part of that service is that we – as taxpayers, as voters, as the electorate – should have a certain amount of access to understanding how decisions are made and what the processes are in terms of decision-making,” says Catherine Flick at the University of Staffordshire, UK.
Because generative AI tools are black boxes, Flick is concerned that it isn’t easy to test or understand how it reaches a particular output, such as highlighting certain aspects of a document over others. The government’s unwillingness to share that information further reduces transparency, she says.
That lack of transparency extends to a third government department, the Treasury."

"Train" - Red Box
A monster smash hit for autumn 1990 that was too good for the charts.
