Shame they didn't get access to the analytics. It would be very interesting to see the extent these data collected are used.
For instance, training voice AI on customer data. Or voice printing to make a location map of users and selling that data. Or customizing ads that show up on their devices based on what's in the home, etc etc
Why is any of this connected to a spinning turbine sucking air into a filter bag? We have collectively failed as a society, instead of building a leisure society, we build a society of useless over-engineered gadgets programmed by people driving to the office for no reason while being told to reduce our carbon emissions.
I hate when someone’s house has an Alexa or whatever and I either have to accept it’s listening to me, or spend social credit asking if they can turn it off when I’m there (I’ve never actually made that request).
