I’m never putting one of these in my home.
Is this a surprise to anyone?
This was already my understanding when I got the first pre-release one in 2014.
In that time, it has mainly learned how to"dim the living area lights to 50%" and “set the AC to 22 degrees”. That is about 99% of it’s use.
Wonder if that’s helped it’s AI much…
haven’t we all known this since product launch ?
I think most people, me included, underestimate the scale of the operation. When you hear “company will use private data to do X”, you imagine what a reasonable person would do, like random sample a few conversations here and there. In reality they record everything permanently over months and years, far beyond what would be necessary to run the service.
It’s kind of crazy how we get this level of surveillance while still having software that will lose your data if you don’t hit
Saveoften enough.that’s fair. i work with data for a living so that probably biases my perspective
Would’ve been newsworthy if it wasn’t the case
