First OpenAI Dot impressions: slow tasks, long call waits, UK-based cloud VM

- Early user impressions of OpenAI's Dot: task execution can be painstakingly slow; the mock dial tone before answering calls takes far too long — the reviewer suggests an option to shorten or remove it.
- Positives: good integration with services like email, a decent memory system so far, and a dedicated cloud environment where you can watch the dot work in a browser.
- Negatives: a separate interface with no WhatsApp/Messages integration, and the dot's browser IP points to the UK — suggesting a VM in that region, which hurts latency.
