If you were devious enough, you could be listening in on billions of phone conversations and messages and adding that to your data set.

This also makes me doubt that NSA hasn't already cracked this problem. Or that China won't eventually beat current western models since it will likely have way more data collected from its citizenry.

I wonder what percentage of phone calls would add anything meaningful to models, I imagine that the nature of most phone calls are both highly personal and fairly boring.

That's a fair point. Not at all like training on Wikipedia in which nearly every sentence has novelty to it.

Then again it would give you data on every accent in the country, so the holy grail for modelling human speech.
