It was always a trojan horse to get microphones and speakers into your home.

Alexa

quote:

Full-time workers and contractors at the online retail giant reportedly sift through as many as 1,000 recordings per shift - and even share "amusing" clips between themselves.


quote:

Listened to by voice review employees worldwide, some of the clips feature intimate private moments in customers' lives - and even record harrowing crimes.


quote:

Staff would then share some recordings among themselves through an internal Amazon chat room when they were difficult to understand - or if they found them funny.


quote:

Amazon last night confirmed the staggering revelations - which will unnerve millions of Alexa users across the globe.

The government is putting chemicals in the water that are turnin the frikin frogs gay. The spirit of 1776 will rise again! Beware of the gay bomb.

Alex Jones has been saying this for 10 years, but remember he is the crazy one.

The devices placed in your home to perform tasks you tell them to do listen to you? Wow. Groundbreaking.

I don’t mind. Worst case people hear how long it takes me to orgasm. And if they think about it the right way, I come out ahead in the deal. So to speak.

Siri listens to the audio from my TV, and responds if somebody says the word "serious".

I really don't care as long as it's company policy not to call the cops.

Operators listening to phone calls for 100 years. Satellites constantly taking pictures. The concept is nothing new, just the vehicle.

The joke is on anyone who ever believed otherwise.

A simple hard fast rule, if you're not paying for it, your not the customer, you are the product.

How do you think they keep the lights on in this place?

I don't know which was the more obvious government scam. This or DNA websites.

On a side note...kind of liking the "quick question" to get the rest of the story option the article had over having to sign-up.

My bad for the side track...but I nerd out on new ways of doing something.
