Everyone should just chill out. Innocuous information is being collected for your benefit, not to harm you. AI is dedicated to making the lives of humans better. Lay back and enjoy it.

Well, that's not an option for most people with jobs, but good on you.
If you don't mind me asking, what is it that I should be afraid of amazon capturing? Let's say I have an Alexa device in my home. What should be my primary privacy concern? What type of information should I be concerned they are capturing and using/selling?

The entire history of you.
The truth is, it really does not matter if all your digital information is being stored and a digital profile of you is maintained. In the vast world it does not matter for a normal law abiding citizen the government likes.
The same thing is true for locking your door of your house. There is a 99% chance that if most of us leave our house unlocked everyday, nothing is going to happen.

So, it doesn’t matter, but you’re against it?

I am going to assume you missed the rest of the point. I forget we talking to the OT sometimes
Even though there is a high probability your house or car will not get burglarized, you still lock them and maybe even set an alarm. Why do you do that?
It is about being a hard target. The concept of having a smaller digital footprint is a good thing, not a bad thing. There is a lot that is known about you and there is nothing you can do about that, however that does not mean you should voluntarily add to that.
That information can come back to haunt you. It has for many people.
There is not right and wrong though, you live how you want to live.

I'm a software developer for business database applications. I explained to the people I work with, it's this or find someone else.
If you market yourself correctly and you're good at what you do, freedom is possible.

Many Europeans after WWII asked a very similar question in regards to giving up their personal weapons. Information and data mining is a very dangerous tool if weaponized.

I have worked in a consumer goods and marketing space for over a decade now. We are very good a mining data about "you".
Facebook/Google/Amazon and most ISPs know more about you than your mother or spouse. Now take that knowledge and apply it to millions. We have reached the point (it was a few years back) that computational power can match the shear volume of data. It is an amazing achievement, but terribly scary when weaponized. It is being weaponized, do not try to convince yourself it is not.
Some of our younglings here that grew up in the digital age do not understand, but there was a time a company or the government barely knew a detail about you.

Why yes... yes it is. Companies/agencies controlling the flow of information, based off of research as to your "likes and dislikes" is very disconcerting. I'd hate to think a entity has the ability to brainwash a segment of the population. But being realistic, they do with the amount of personal data they currently have on people.

That may be true for some jobs, but certainly not all.

Okay, but what type of information should I be concerned about? I’m genuinely curious.
