A while back some friends brought a new house and it came with an Alexa device that had a camera that followed you around the kitchen/eating area.
Me - Oh Hells no, #alexa#ai#inforsec
Would you pay a monthly fee for a smarter, #AI-enabled #Alexa from #Amazon?
I would not as I barely use Alexa these days at all even though as a former #IoT content creator, I have all of the “big tech” assistants in my home. Not because Alexa today is lackluster compared to other options IMO, but I’ve given enough (read: too much) of my personal data to Amazon already.
#Amazon Echo Hub reviewed in @guardian is a device that brings you firmly into #Alexa's clutches.
The word #privacy isn't mentioned at all. Because who cares about that, right?
"Amazon’s latest Alexa device feels like the missing piece in making a home fully smart"
"The #Echo Hub [..] is a cut-price option for a device that usually has to be either professionally installed, costing thousands, or a DIY job that requires more than a little expertise." 😫
