Hi, if you have an Alexa machine thingy robot or whatever, get rid of it.

The Alexa feature "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" you enabled no longer available. Now everything will be sent to Amazon cloud server and it may become part of LLM training. Only Amazon knows what they are going to do with all that data.

People always tell me I'm overreacting when I want dumb tech. Making things easier always comes at a price, and considering they were giving these things away for years with promotions I knew this shit was going to eventually hit the fan, back then I just didn't know how.

And this is why I've never had one

Why is everybody worried? Everything with a mic and internet access has been listening to us for like 20 years?
Just be boring XD

How much storage do they have left for years worth of thousands of never ending recordings?

What are they gonna do with silence filled with laughing or sneezing?

Funny how they call it "Amazon's secure cloud". Cause it sounds more secure.

Thanks for sharing!

Corpo: why is no one volunteering themselves to train our AI!?

Guess we'll just have to force people to be our subjects

*Changes TOS*

Corpo: wait why are sales down 30% and usage data down 60%!?

It must be the consumers stupid ideals, after all there's no law against it so we can't be wrong!

Yet another reason I took the bang for your buck home assistant challenge. Not just because I got a screaming server out of it that controls my house and serves me media.

With out the headache of big bother sniffing everything.

nope, that function is no longer supported either

My live-in friend won one of those things ages ago, and I absolutely wouldn’t have it. Bad enough the phones listen to us and push it into what is advertised to us. I don’t need that thing recording my voice to train ai scammers.
