Not really. My echo thingy is only in the kitchen for music and cooking timers and all my important conversations take place in the bedroom.

If Alexa wants to listen to my wife and I bicker over what to cook for dinner, or me bitch about the Cubs on a nightly basis, she's welcome to.

I don't use any of those things. It's sad that this is no big deal though. This is torches and pitchforks level bullshit.

Yeah, nobody is going to care until it's already too late and we're at 1984/Brave New World/whatever levels of fuckery. It's gonna be a wild next few decades.

The issue is that the device is often triggered during normal conversations and you are being recorded unknowingly

And voice commands don't inherently have to be recorded, they can (and should) be stored just long enough to fulfill the command and then be erased, not stored in the cloud.

Yeah sending data to the wrong person is quite the fucking screwup.

You gotta say Alexa or whatever you pick for the word a shit ton for it record a conversation though. Unless it's recording when it isn't lit up? Now that would be unacceptable

The slow descent into "smart" madness is depressing tbqh. Eventually every appliance and device in your home will have a cell modem built in and unless you physically disable it they will record every bit of information they can about you and send it wherever they want.

People laughed at Juicero for releasing a juicer that refused to work if it wasn't connected to the internet but that is the future. They were just a decade or two ahead of their time.

It's not a matter of being interesting or disinteresting. You are willingly giving away your privacy because corporations have a thing that's convenient. Hand waving it away and saying you have nothing to hide is how dystopias thrive.

My life is more convenient and having some employee read anonymous requests or 4 second blurbs from an alexa accidentally triggering doesnt bother me at all. You dont have to use them. Its not being forced on anyone so people can tone down the hysteria

You can have Alexa whisper to you and you can have say anything you want. Not sure if you can request both at the same time.
