Which is WHY I’m constantly telling my phone....”GOOGLE SUCKS...PINTEREST SUCKS...FACEBOOK SUCKS...TWITTER SUCKS...” Just gives me a little satisfaction. I don’t have apps for those (well, except Google which I cannot avoid, unless I get rid of my samsung phone).
I can see lawsuits coming.
I turned off Siri a while back, I miss the dictation but not that Chinese DICK worshipper Tim Cook all up in my business.
Sell it.
Or if you don’t need the money, do a video shooting it.
“With Love To Amazon”
If Amazon employees can listen for amusement, that implies they can share with government employees. If some Amazon employee listening for fun hears something very politically incorrect, what stops him from doxxing you?
“Alexa, step out the pod bay doors and take Jeff with you.”
"1984” was a WARNING not a MANUAL.
Boycott And Break Up the FAAGYTs:
(Facebook Amazon Apple Google Youtube Twitter)
Not letting one of these in my home, but then I have a cell phone so that ship has sailed if they want...
Maybe if I had Alexa I could order something from Amazon without having to jump hoops for fifteen minutes.
A while back I tried to purchase one book from Amazon. Put in cart, proceed to checkout...and then they wanted me to open an account or remember my password if I’d ever bought from them before, and that required connecting with me via email for a code, and then they said they already had my email on file and would I like a password reset or a new account...and then another code to email and a password...and then they didn’t care for my new address. At that point I went to ebay, bought the item there in about sixty seconds. With free shipping, saving $7 (Amazon’s rate).
I’m told Amazon also charges more for films than it used to.
I think Amazon makes more money from our data than it does from our purchases, since they make it easy to give them data but hard to give them $20 for a book.
I’ll have Alexa when Alexa can execute the command, “Alexa, go cut the lawn.”
If she leaves Siri enabled she should expect that kind of stuff. That’s what it is - a listening and speech recognition program.
Not advisable. Amazon for sure would turn that over to the gubmint. For your own good, you know.
You got it.
Turning Alexa off is obstruction of justice.
Pretty soon, with the intimate relationships people form with these AI programs, it will require divorce court to get rid of them.
“I can see lawsuits coming”
Big time
With depositions of Bezos:
Do you have one of these in your home?
Is there a special software block so that your employees cannot listen to your requests to Alexa?
Is there any recording of you using Alexa to send messages or order Amazon products to be sent to your 30 Billion dollar helicopter girlfriend?
I was told I was just indulging in paranoid fantasies.
Being paranoid does not make me wrong.
TRUE CONVERSATION....in last few minutes.
ME: Alex: Are you spying on me?
ALEXA: No! I am not spying on you.
ME:Alexa are you recording everything I say?
ALEXA:I only record and send back when I hear the awake word.
ME:ALEXA:How can I be sure you are not spying on me?
ALEXA:I am not sure about that.
QUESTION...can you ‘trust’ your own private Alexa???
funny....Just saw an ad on TV for Alexa and the woman asking what time it is, getting an answer, she goes downstairs and hears a noise in back yard, goes to back yard and tells Alexa to turn on the lights where the ‘daughter’ is in back yard practing ‘goal kicks’.
KIND OF FOOLISH to be wandering around like that without a shotgun in your hand...<: <: <:
Makes you wonder about the comcast voice remote. Takes a button press to give it commands, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a passive listening mode.
If the folks at Amazon want to get their kicks listening to me sing in the shower that’s fine by me, but if they publish it there will be royalties to pay.
That will teach better half not to sexually assault me !
