Amazon’s Echo will send all voice recordings to the cloud, starting March 28

Comments

I've had an echo sit in its box on a shelf for a few years now, because I could never figure out what to use it for. Trash it is then.

Or maybe I should have one of those newfangled chatterbots talk to it non-stop? Nah, waste of electricity.

Honestly I assumed it was doing this the whole time.

The voice recordings totally won't be accessible to Trump's secret police. I'm inclined to buy one and every time I walk past it remind Trump that he has a micro penis. I could also drop a few lines about being here illegally and I sure hope Trump doesn't deport me. Waste some of ICE's time

I have an echo dot with clock I only use for kitchen timer. Guess it’s gone now. I don’t trust what’s going to be recorded.

Never used any Alexa or Google speakers in my house and will never do.

Feeling quite smug ... Alexa has never looked after peoples personal data. Switch that muthafucker off tout de suite! X

And then share with the police?

No, use it to take over your life.

There is no privacy. The AI apps take all your Alexa, Siri voice commands to train their AI systems. Musk takes video from each of the 8 cameras built into his vehicles to get IRL data to train his AI robot systems. They ALL do it.

That's why I'll never own one of elmo's swasticars and I won't use any of the voice AI "helpers". Claude has been good for coding, but it only exists in my IDE
